Super fun tour with lovely Dutch guide Doris and a great group of people with whom I shared many laughs. The bikes were comfy enough and the trip took us to several islands. The weather was perfect and I couldn't have asked for a better tour. A great way to get a feel of Stockholm at the beginning of my holiday. Thanks Doris!

Very good guide, good service, bikes a little ciritical

Antonia was an excellent guide (german native speaker, interesting details of Stockholm's history and curiosities) and the welcoming service at the meeting point was good. Only the bikes were not in good conditions, meaning that the are very simple ones, which is not really a problem, but leads to four instead of five star ranking of the entire performance. Stockholm by bike is a wonderful thing to do, probably the best way to discover this lovely place...so beautiful and peaceful.

Fantastic way to see a wonderful city

Gina took us on our tour, she was very friendly and helpful, Gina was very informative and knew all her history of Stockholm. The bike ride was a fantastic way too see the city, I highly recommend it, I would say the bike ride itself was easy with about 80% being nice and flat only 2 or 3 small hills! This tour is a must!
