Bike Tours in Stockholm

 

Guided Bike Tours – We Are Not Fans!

 

You cram forward between 20 other cyclists. You can just about hear your yellow-vested guide tell you that the house of parliament was constructed in 1900. Or was it 1800? Before you manage to take a photo, the group is off. Hastily you pack down your camera and rush off to pick up with the group. You’re getting warm. But no time to take off your jacket; the tour goes on. You get cut off by a traffic light. The rest of the group already crossed. Where is the guide? It starts to rain. Oh, how lovely it would be to find shelter in that lovely cafe on the corner. 

Sounds like fun? Nah, we didn’t think so either. That’s why we came up with an alternative to traditional bike tours in Stockholm!

 


Self Guided GPS Bike Tours – Freedom & Fun!

We’re not huge fans of guided city rides if you haven’t noticed. That’s why we came up with our GPS bike tours. The best way to explore Stockholm on two wheels. At your own pace. At your own pick. At your own time. Don’t expect our bike tours to tell you in which year the house of parliament was constructed. We wouldn’t know! What we do know is that it’s not what you come for anyways. You came to find Södermalm’s best freshly brewed cappuccino.  The place where local lovers go to watch the sunset. The best parks for a bbq with friends. We will show you Stockholm. Where real life goes on. The spots which we love, in the city that we love. A city that’s best explored on two wheels.

 Green Trails on TripAdvisor…

”We had an absolutely brilliant day kayaking around the beautiful stockholm archipelago. My husband and daughters had kayaked before but it was my first time and our Guide Ben was really good and patient, so encouraging. This was a real highlight of our visit to this beautiful city and when we come back to Stockholm will definitely choose Green trails and hopefully Ben for our next outdoor adventure.”

”I had done this amazing Sea Kayaking adventure with the Green Trails last year. I had so much fun it was the highlight of my Sweden trip! I went again this year and it was equally fun. Piotr my guide and owner of The Green Trails was extremely knowledgeable and I highly recommend it. Most people just go and see the same boring things and they miss out on true adventures and unique memories (and awesome work outs) this one had it all!”

”I’ve kayaked all over the world and never had an experience like this! Our guide Ben was personable and highly knowledgeable. We kayaked past several islands and stopped at one to take a beautiful hike to a lookout point. Ben walked barefoot in the forest as he pointed out everything you could eat and gave other interesting information about the flora and fauna. Bit of a forest guru too! Afterwards, we had a nice lunch and swim on the island and then kayaked back looking at the condors circle and dive and hear fun facts about Swedish culture and folklore. Great guidance, great equipment, great company!”

”We were fortunate to have a sunny day, see lots of eagles, herons, kingfishers, cormorants, gulls and even a seal. All of the logistical details were beautifully arranged, from transportation, food, water and snacks, kayaks and gear. The leaders were experienced, professional, personable, and knowledgable about the natural history of the area. It was clear that they take pride in and enjoy leading these trips. They took pains to tailor the day to the participants interests and abilities. I would happily go on another trip with this company.”
