Welcome to join Stockholm's Best Bike Tour as we pedal through the hidden (and not-so-hidden) gems of our Capital, floating on 14 islands. After years of experience we have developed the ultimate Bike Tour for you, where we cover all Stockholm Highlights in a few hours time. You will feel well informed about "the Venice of the North" afterwards and ready to continue exploring Stockholm!

Your local Guide tells you about Stockholm's past and present, as we enjoy the breathtaking water surroundings. By showing you pictures at every stop, the stories come more to life. We mix active biking with plenty of stops along the way, making time for pictures and questions. A small speaker playing music from Sweden (old classics & modern hits) from your guide's bike at the front is included, to make your time even more memorable. Naturally our tour is also not complete without a mini "Fika" (Swedish sweet snack).

We take 1-2 longer breaks (excl. the stops along the way): 1x Rosendal Garden 1x Östermalm Food Hall from 1888 (on Sundays we just stop outside, as it is closed on Sundays).

After the tour, you will receive a WhatsApp message to the telephone number in your booking with your guide's local recommendations in town - don't miss it! This tour can be booked in: English, German, Spanish, Swedish.

For large groups and/or if you can not find a suitable day/time: Contact Stockholm Summer Tours and we will work it out! If you are also looking for a historic tour, we recommend our Walking Tour in the Old Tour where we dig deeper in the historic Stockholm and one of Europe's best preserved medieval Old Towns.
