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 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.

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.
