Explore Stockholm by bike on a 3-hour guided tour covering Gamla Stan, the Royal Palace, islands, parks, and tucked-away streets.
“Cycling is the perfect way to see the city. It’s very safe as the cycle paths are all separated from the roads. Beware the tram lines though. Also the bikes are great but changing gear and braking BOTH require you to back pedal so it’s a bit of an art. But great fun. Guide was very good.”
See Stockholm’s top sights by bike in two relaxed hours, from Gamla Stan to City Hall, with safe cycle routes and local tips.
“Great way to see all of the sights of the city in a few hours.”
Review of Stockholm’s small-group bike tour, covering City Hall, Gamla Stan, Djurgården, fika, price, pace, guides, and practical tips.
“Phillip Rocks! Fantastic tour guide and great history lessons as well as keeping it fun! Can’t recc highly enough. Saw so much!”
Explore Gothenburg by bike, from Gustav Adolfs Torg to Haga and Linné, with local stories, supplied bikes, helmets, and a lively guide.
“Our tour guide was friendly, welcoming, relaxed, informative and patient. Nils- he deserves a raise. The bicycle tour was expected to have a group of 10 or more as it turned out it was just 3. I thoroughly enjoyed that it was a small attended tour. I recommend to travelers to check the local events and holidays as it can affect the maneuverability of biking in town in traffic, avoiding pedestrians, buses, trains and cars. I will highly recommend this to any tourist visiting Gothenburg.”
See Stockholm’s top sights by bike in 3.5 hours, with local stories, Swedish music, fika, Djurgården, and practical city tips.
“We loved the tour with Andre! It was a small group bike tour that covered a lot of Stockholm, with high qualify bikes, cute helmets painted yellow + blue, and knowledgeable tour guide that shared many interesting facts at each of the 8-10 stops. Starting in Östermalm, we rode for a few hours and were able to see many of the main attractions in Gamla Stan. Djurgården, and many more areas. Highly recommend this family-run company - support the locals!”
Ride Stockholm at your own pace on a contactless GPS bike tour, with four routes covering landmarks, parks, viewpoints, and nearby nature.
“Loved being able to see parts of Stockholm City that most tourists don’t see. We did the lakes and forests routes which was extremely pleasant and relaxing. There are a few up hill moments on this track so be prepared. Also remember to take a photo of the QR code for the route as google maps can be temperamental.”

Review of Stockholm’s 3-hour bike tour, with royal sights, Old Town, Djurgården, local tips, pricing, bikes, and practical advice.
“Waste of time and money. You are better off renting a bike and exploring the city on your own. The guide gave very little relevant information at each stop. He did not appear very knowledgeable and constantly spoke of how expensive the city is for people to live. He would even “Google” images on his phone to show additional pictures at a few of the stops.”
Ride Stockholm’s islands on a private bike tour covering Gamla Stan, City Hall, Södermalm, local parks, and sweeping city views.
“This was a fun tour and the guide was great. Special bonuses: the bike was good for a 3-day rental, so we got it for much longer than the tour; surprise karaoke event in front of the ABBA hotel; the guide treated us to a "fika" (Swedish coffee/pastry break).”
Ride Stockholm’s Nackareservatet forest with a small group, guide, lunch, and Swedish fika, with routes suited to beginner mountain bikers.
“Me and my girlfriend took the MTB trip in Nackareservatet. Was really fun! Great trails, great and friendly guide that adapted the trip to our level. Some more technical routes and some easier, really found some golden spots! Even took a swim in the sea. And the nature is really stunning, even saw a herd of like 30 deers :) Highly recommended!”
