Jumping in the lake for a cool off after a long day canoeing was the best. Had a great vacation. After busy days there was always a great place to stay and good food to eat. It was well planned and thought through and Carmen smoothed it all along nicely. (more)Andrea Austin

The two main highlights were exploring several beautiful islands by bicycle - a terrific way to see them and spending the last day biking in Stockholm Djurgarden - very nice. (more)Linda Johnson

Life enhancing. The operator provided comprehensive information and organised everything beautifully. This meant we were free to enjoy the cycling and discover the Swedish culture and sights. When I returned home I was still glowing from all the memories and sensations from the vacation experiences. (more)Angela Newton

Paddling through the quiet part of the lakes with no other people was the highlight. Fantastic to be in the EU but so in the wild. (more)David Townsend

Apart from the obvious beauty and silence - unexpectedly seeing a mink and an grey owl was the highlight. enjoyed everything except sleeping in a tent - but I knew that I wouldn't enjoy that! (more)Martin Land

Many memorable moments but the image which will stay in my mind for a long time is canoeing back home on a Swedish lake in perfect conditions: no wind or rain, sun going down slowly... (more)Sheila Jukes

The beautiful location staying in the forest next to a stunning lake with simple but cosy accommodation. (more)Rosalind Gibbons

The husky dog sledging day - it was wonderful - you get your own set of huskies & sledge with a fur rug. Remember your ski goggles thou' - we had a lot of snow & you can go quite fast (particularly if light) - afterwards hot chocolate & homemade cake in a tippee with roaring fire! Fab.

The stay at the Tree Hotel was brilliant. The accommodation is great, the food delicious and the people wonderful. The whole experience was great, but probably the dog sledding outing was the stand-out element. (more)Carole Thomas

Memorable parts? Canoeing the lakes. Tips? This is not cycling for softies and timings suggested are a bit ambitious. There is a lot of ground to cover, but at short notice Carmen was able to suggest shorter routes to accommodate our desire for a more relaxed agenda. I would recommend adding extra days on at the start and finish so that every day is not spent on the move. We enjoyed exploring Stockholm by bike before and after the tour. Local benefits? Yes we stayed in local... (more)Nicole Dando
