Arrival in Helsingborg: The closest airport to the tour start is Copenhagen (CPH) and from the finish is Göteborg (GOT). From Copenhagen you can board a train for the journey to Helsingor where a short ferry will take you to Helsingborg. It is a short walk to the hotel. Directions will be provided as departure date approaches.
Internet: There is free WIFI in the hotels.
Bicycles: Included in your tour price is a 24 Speed touring Bike, ideal for the terrain you will cycle on. E-bikes are available for a surcharge. Keep in mind that e-bikes are heavier than touring bikes and require good bike handling skills. We do not recommend them for novice cyclists. We encourage anyone interested in an e-bike to rent one at home to get accustomed to the bike, which is likely to be heavier than what you ride at home.
Bicycle Helmet: We require all guests to always wear a proper fitting helmet while riding on the tour. Helmets are included in the cost of the tour, but you are also welcome to bring your own.
Bicycle Locks: All bicycles are outfitted with locks. Please use them whenever you plan to leave your bicycle unattended for any length of time. You will be liable for damage or theft of the bicycle if it is stolen during an excursion because it was not locked properly. Bicycle insurance is available for a nominal fee.
Itinerary Program: The above itinerary is subject to change. Alterations are sometimes necessary due to circumstances beyond the operator’s control.
Physical Fitness and Bike Handling: To participate in and enjoy the biking part of the tour, it is important that you are in good physical condition and that you have the necessary bike handling skills. Group riding experience is encouraged but not a requirement. This tour is rated difficulty level 1-2 so novice cyclists may occasionally find it challenging. All guests are expected to keep pace with the group which travels at 10-12 mph. Guests who cannot maintain that pace will be asked to ride on their own, with maps and route sheets provided. Electric bikes are also an option (for a surcharge) but will need to be requested prior to the start of the tour. While most of the tour features routes on quiet country roads and dedicated bike paths, we will occasionally need to share the road with car traffic, and we will have to cross busy intersections. The weather is variable, it may not always be sunny, and the winds may not always be calm. Even under poor weather conditions, you should feel safe and able to cover the day’s distance on your bike. If for any reason, a guest cannot complete the day’s ride, the guest will need to travel to the hotel at their own expense.
