Frequently Asked Questions

Set off on a self-guided cycling adventure, crafted for a personalized and flexible experience on two wheels. Discover wonders at your leisure, with the liberty to modify your route or itinerary as you wish. Our committed team meticulously takes care of all aspects, including accommodation arrangements, comprehensive planning, GPS navigation assistance, and ongoing support, to ensure a peaceful and captivating trip. This journey celebrates independence, personal discovery, and authentic cultural encounters.

Our tours are divided into three levels of difficulty: Leisurely, Moderate, and Challenging, defined by the typical daily itinerary, though there can be variations in challenge during the trip.

Leisurely tours are perfect for those looking for a relaxed journey amidst beautiful landscapes, without the need for long-distance cycling or navigating difficult terrains. Typically, these tours cover 30-50 km per day, with an elevation gain of up to 500m. This allows for numerous opportunities to enjoy the scenery, sample local cuisine, and visit quaint villages and towns along the route.

Moderate bike tours cater to those who desire a combination of picturesque routes and a bit of a challenge. Covering 50-80 km per day with an elevation gain of up to 1000m, these tours take you through beautiful landscapes and charming villages, featuring both flat and hilly terrains. They provide plenty of chances for exploration and also offer a rewarding cycling experience.

Challenging bike tours are designed for seasoned cyclists looking to challenge themselves. These tours cover 80-120 km daily with an elevation gain of up to 2000m and involve steep climbs and challenging routes. Suitable for those with a high level of fitness and stamina, they offer a sense of achievement and stunning views, making the effort worthwhile.

We are dedicated to finding the ideal match for your cycling journey. We work closely with a range of accommodation providers, all of whom adhere to our quality criteria, though their availability might change, particularly during high-demand seasons. Moreover, we offer the flexibility to customize your trip according to your personal tastes and budget, guaranteeing that we find the accommodation that best suits your needs.

We recommend booking your tour as soon as possible, particularly for sought-after tourist destinations where accommodation options are limited. Top choices tend to be reserved quickly, often getting fully booked for the summer season well before the arrival of spring.

In Denmark, accommodating specific dietary requirements can vary based on their intricacy. While vegetarian options are generally easy to find, locating vegan meals might pose challenges in rural areas or smaller towns. Keep in mind that lunch breaks usually take place at traditional restaurants, which may have limited capacity to cater to special dietary needs beyond their regular menu. Please take this into account when organizing your cycling tour in Denmark.

In Denmark, the ideal cycling season runs from mid-April to mid-October. However, for elevated regions like the mountains, it’s advisable to schedule your cycling expeditions from mid-May to September.

In Denmark, cycling tours can be enjoyed in light rain, given you have the right clothing. During the summer months, afternoon thunderstorms are common, so it’s recommended to start your tours early in the day. If challenging weather conditions are expected, we will make every effort to adjust the tour schedule accordingly.

On cycling trips, luggage transfer allows you to ride without carrying heavy bags. Each morning, you leave your luggage at the designated spot—often the hotel reception—and it’s transported to your next overnight stop. Your bags are usually waiting for you when you arrive. Weight limits and pickup times can vary slightly depending on the service provider.

From the very beginning, the Cycling Holidays Austria team have been amazing. They provided a flexible service that met our specific needs and journey itinerary, which a good number of other providers would not entertain. The speed of reply was excellent and the use of the Trip Plans and Cycle with GPS apps just made our journey so easy. The quality of the rental bikes was excellent and they easily met the demands of the cycle track. Overall, excellent friendly service that we will definitely use again next year as we plan our continued trip along the stunning Danube River. Huge thanks to the team.

It was a very well designed trip- Slovenia is such a beautiful country. The routes were very well planned, including the hotels. Rental bikes were amazing, they accommodated our specific requirements. I would highly recommend and would certainly go back with the same company. One small thing we ran into was not getting a quick response on one of the days where we wanted some options as it was going to rain and we wanted to see if there are alternates to getting to our next location incase we couldn’t ride. We understand it was a last minute request and after hours but an acknowledgement would have been appreciated- specially when you are new to the country and need help. Like I said it was a minor thing, therefore I’m passing along my feedback. Overall they very responsive during planning and suggesting options and providing support outside the cycling trip. Lan is awesome and super helpful- thank you!!

Great trip: excellent customer service, great route, excellent hotel stays during the tour. The bike rental company that they use is the best I've ever experienced in Europe. I am even planning to buy the same bike for myself at home that I had on the trip! We had this service also book our stay for after the tour, and that is the only thing I would do differently next time, since the hotel for the several days after the tour was not very good, had mediocre service and not a good location. But for the tour, I would definitely recommend DenmarkBikeTours.

The self-guided cycling holiday in Denmark’s Zealand region was incredible. The flat, scenic routes were well-marked, taking me through charming coastal towns, lush countryside, and historic castles like Kronborg. The freedom to explore at my own pace was wonderful—I could linger in Copenhagen’s vibrant streets or enjoy a leisurely lunch at a cozy seaside café. The detailed itinerary and seamless logistics made the trip stress-free. This was the perfect blend of independence and Danish hospitality!

The cycling in Denmark was terrific and the routes were fine. The hotel in Helsingør was sub-par — tiny rooms, limited breakfast, reservations mixed up. Pre-trip communication was also sub-par — we had no idea when our rental bikes would arrive or how the luggage transfer would take place. Multiple attempts at communicating — by email and by WhatsApp, went unanswered. At the end of the trip, we had no instructions as to what to do with the rental bikes ow how they would be picked up. Bottom line: Communication and responsiveness was poor.
