“Very knowledgeable tour guide, but can be a little long winded on less interesting information. Bikes constantly want to change gears which can be annoying. Beautiful scenery along the way…I would recommend they change their coffee stop as that place is packed and you allot a short time period for the stop. Enjoyable experience overall.”

“We booked a private city tour in Gothenburg through Viator, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience from start to finish. The tour company initially contacted us to reschedule from 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM due to a lack of available guides. On the day of the tour, they contacted us again, stating they would be 15 minutes late, but in reality, they arrived 35 minutes late. To our surprise, the tour was not private as advertised. Our guide rented city bikes for the tour, but the quality was extremely poor—no helmet options, and the bikes had limited functional brakes, making the ride unsafe. Throughout the tour, the guide was…”

15.Mountain Biking Small-Group in Stockholm Forests for Beginners

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 8 reviews · from $144

Trade central Stockholm for five hours of guided mountain biking in Nackareservatet. You’ll get a bike, helmet, basic instruction, lunch, and Swedish fika. Guides such as Oscar, William, and Eric adjust the route to your ability, though beginners seeking formal bike lessons may find the tour too gentle.

“The tour for beginners is mainly on transportation gravel paths. A long trip to Erstaviken could be excluded; boring roads to and from, and a stay there for almost 1,5 hour was not what I signed up (and paid) for. No, I’m not experienced. That’s why I wanted to learn how to ride a mountain-bike. This was not provided.”
