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.

Overall it was great. I think that in Albania it would be good to add in some beach time for the those whe want it. Maybe stay a night in Ksamil and make Butrint optional.

An amazing journey around just two of the Balkans with a chance to discover their amazing cultural and political history. Needless to say, the landscapes are incredible and vary massively as you cross the country. Would highly recommend for anyone who wants to learnt as much as they can about this spectacular region in a relatively short amount of time.

I loved this trip! There were a few small things that I think need to be straightened out but overall it was really great. I really liked that mix of mountains, cities, towns and beaches.
