The trip was well planned and we saw the most amazing nature in Montenegro and Bosnia-i-Herzegovina. We had a night in Pluzine near lake piva where the accomodation could have been better. The guide and driver/mechanic were a great team and both of them did an excellent job
Travel along the Dalmatian coast from Croatia to Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina on this seven-day cycling adventure. Ride through islands of olive groves and cypress forests, explore Hvar and wander romantic cities full of history. Tackle climbs, cobbled stones and scenic flats as you ride along the Ciro Trail – a new rail trail that follows the now defunct Austro-Hungarian railway line. Visit the Ostrog Monastery, take in the coastal views as you follow the Bay of Kotor’s shoreline and unwind with a drink and a dip at one of Dubrovnik's hidden cliffside bars.
This was a trip that surpassed my expectations. I am not terribly athletic and i was concerned about the cycling but in the end I managed well and the bus was there to help at the hardest bits....It combined stunning scenery, fascinating history, a friendly group that gelled together under the care of exemplary guides.
I have had an amazing time in Croatia exploring the Dalmatian coast.
All the hotels were good and in great locations.
The itinerary was the right mix of cycling and exploring local towns and villages.
The tour leader was brilliant. So much knowledge about the area. Showed alot of patience with a group with mixed cycling abilities.
This is our 5th cycling trip with Exodus and we feel this is the best trip that we had. We were blessed with nice blue sky every day. The cycling was just right (as we all made the climbs as a team without any stops in the middle); the roads were quiet and scenic; the ancient monuments and sights were great and the food and hotels were both 1st class.
We loved our Bike and Sail (which was actually a Bike and Boat since the boat didn't have sails). The boat was extremely comfortable with excellent A/C in the lower level where our room was. The dining room was always too warm because even though it had A/C, the open door and another smaller opening near the bar allowed hot air to enter the room. Would be nice if fans were present in the dining area. But all in all, the trip was a good experience!
Beautiful weather and scenery in a part of Europe that gets easily overlooked. Lots of uphill cycling but you do get the long downhills as compensation. The guides Dhimitri and Juli were great - always helpful and Juli (also the driver) scuttling back and forth to ensure everyone was OK and had enough water. Would recommend this trip and the local provider Cycle Albania.

This was an amazing trip. The Dalmatian Coast of Croatia is spectacular. The islands we visited were beautiful especially when explored by bike. We highly recommend this trip.
