What travelers are saying

"Our family of four, including two adult children, took the Bicycling: Day Trips to Paradise in Canada. This trip is entirely outsourced to the owners of the inn, there are no Road Scholar employees involved in the trip. Two of us have taken bicycle trips all over the world and the bicycling component of this trip was disorganized, haphazard and almost unsafe. We all filled out forms giving details regarding our bicycle fitting months before the trip. On the first day, the leader Stephen, went around the room and asked the same questions and said everyone would get fitted in the morning before we began the first ride. The morning brought a rack of bikes, all different types in various levels of readiness. There were road bikes, hybrid bikes, mountain bikes and e-bikes. The rides were all on paved surfaces and the mountain bikes were heavy and the additional suspension added weight. The bike I received had rust on the chain and rear sprocket. When I asked about it, was told they were waiting for another van to show up with tools and equipment. Once it arrived, they gave me the lubricant to spray on the rust. My wife’s bike would not shift into the high gear on the front sprocket. Instead of adjusting the derailleur, they suggested spraying it with lubricant. Our one son is over six feet and needed a larger frame bike, even though he detailed it in the bike form months ago, there was no bike to fit him. One of the guides, then went home and brought a larger bike that was a full suspension mountain bike for him. The bike was very heavy, hard to control on the road and he felt unsafe. After two days, one of the guides convinced Stephen that they could adjust a hybrid bike to fit him. Clearly there was no work done to prepare the bikes for the trip. Many of the bikes needed adjusting and all needed lubricant to function easily. For every day, there was a tray of snacks placed out for us to take along the ride. None of the bikes had any baskets or attached bags, so if you didn’t bring a small day pack, there was no way to carry the snacks. For lunch on the rides, they brought exactly one sandwich for each rider. Since most of us get hungry while doing a day of exercise, it would have been helpful to have a few extras. On one day, they ran out of sandwiches and one of the leaders that were riding with us did not get lunch. Do NOT take this trip if you are expecting it to be a bicycling trip. We have used VBT and Discovery Bicycle Tours many times over the past 25 years and they are excellent bike tour companies. Lastly, after sharing these details with Road Scholar after the trip, their response was weak at best. After doing the full reviews and having to call them, their response was to give us $200 credit after spending $8000 on this trip. Not only was that insulting, they assumed that I would take another trip with their organization."

What travelers are saying

"This trip is unbelievably fantastic. Two of the best rides of my life, were on this tour. The guides were very good and this was just the start, when we met them, at the hotel in Cortina. Cortina was the site of the 1956 Olympics, and is a small pretty village. Nothing was open the two nights we were there, so probably bad timing. Hotel was a typical ski village hotel, good Italian/German food, and very comfortable. Second day of biking was up an old railroad spur that is now a ski trail about 15-20 K up to a mountain pass called Cimabanche Pass, which is beautiful. We rode up in a snow storm, then rain, then finally clear skies. This was the number two best ride of my life. Starting out from the hotel in Cortina, up the old spur, through single track bike trails, past babbling brooks, up to this fabulous mountain pass. This is now where the fun starts. Mostly downhill on paved roads very little traffic, at good speeds, through the most spectacular valleys you would ever see on a bike ride. Breathtaking. It had to end back at the hotel for a big dinner. The best ride of my life was the last biking day out of Merano. We were bused up 1500 K, about 85-90 miles to Lake Resia, high up in the Dolomites, then rode around the lake, down, back to Merano. High mountain peaks, many valleys,small towns, many grape growing farms, scenery, the best, and cool brisk weather. This was truly a great bike tour, one I will never forget. The trip is rated easy, but maybe easy/moderate is closer. The Hotel in Merano is excellent, middle of old town, modern, has a thermal bath, rooms were very good. The town of Merano is a must see if in the area, small, beneath the high mountains of the Dolomites, good restaurants, lots of tourists."

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

Additional details

When is the best time to visit Sweden?

Sweden is a country with various wonders throughout the seasons. Your best timing will depend on what type of travel, activities and sights you’d like to experience.

If you’d like to visit during the sunny season, see the midnight sun and have lots of hours to sightsee, hike, relax, and bike, visit during May through September.

If you’d like to enjoy winter activities such as nordic skiing, seeing the Northern Lights or watching the snowfall, plan on visiting between November and March.

Who will enjoy traveling to Sweden?

Any type of traveler will enjoy visiting Sweden, as it hosts interesting cultural, historic, natural and culinary delights. In particular, Sweden is an excellent destination for active travelers who want to engage in biking, hiking, skiing and other activities. Someone who enjoys a less crowded experience with lots of access to nature and the outdoors will also enjoy a trip to Sweden.

Why should you travel to Sweden?

Sweden is a bit off the beaten track as a tourist destination, so those travelers seeking to get away from the crowds, spend some time outdoors, and learn about this unique Nordic country will love spending time touring Sweden.

You should travel to Sweden to taste the sea-based cuisines and delicacies of the country. You should arrive ready to spend time outside in beautiful landscapes and be active on your trip.

You should travel to Sweden to engage with interesting cities and a culture that lives amongst long summers and winters. You should travel to Sweden to get away from the crowds of Western Europe.

Sweden travel packing list

Along with the usual necessities when packing for a trip, a trip to Sweden wouldn’t be complete without including:

1) Hiking Books

2) Outdoor gear depending on the season (you could also rent there)

3) Layers (the weather can change and it’s good to be prepared)

4) A rain jacket

5) A swimsuit (for the summer months)

6) A great book (for relaxing after an action-packed day)

What is the weather like in Sweden?

Many people think of long winters when they think of Sweden. While this is true, the climate is milder than one would expect due to Sweden's proximity to the Gulf Stream.

The further north that you go, the more cold the climate. In general, the country has some humidity from its closeness to the ocean.

The summer can be quite pleasant with many sunny days. As with any trip, research the weather for your timeline to pack accordingly.
