Albania Bicycle Trips

This was the toughest cycling I’d done in a while. An e-bike would have made it more enjoyable for me. I misjudged my fitness vs the described difficulty. Albania is historic, scenic, and most worthy to visit. Very interesting experience for me. Mountains, seaside, ancient sites

This was a wonderful trip with a great group and the leaders were fantastic. Demitri managed the tour in a way that all participants were able to navigae within their personal athletic abilities without being deterred by others. He provided great instructions, organization and historical background. Visi was wonderful in his supportive role. What a special country that is still unspoiled by over development and excess tourism. The people and the land were special and I feel so fortunate to have explored this country and to do it by bike.

This was an excellent adventure, my first biking experience. The itinerary was fantastic, although it changed occasionally due to unexpected circumstances such as road, construction and weather; however, all of this was explained each day by our leader and everything turned out fantastic. I have had no experience in foreign travel, so really didn’t know what to expect as far as accommodations, but they were fantastic. The meals were amazing and very indicative of the area as we were traveling in.

I struggled to find another company that offers such a unqiue tour like this one to see 4 Balkan countries. Having been to 4 of the other Balkans already I knew somewhat what to expect but Montenegro and Albania delivered some of the most beautiful scenery of them all by var. The climbs are tough and hill climb training is really important if you want to enjoy some of the days, but once you reach the summit this is quickly forgotten, as others say it is stunning and some of the best routes I have cycled around the world.

The experience of cycling in Albania was very interesting as far as seeing different parts of the country, interacting with Albanian people, learning about the culture and history and cycling through forests and fields and down to the beaches. The cycling itself was quite hard in terms of the hills, but because of the bikes/gears it was very attainable. We were able to stop and rest, as necessary and always had support and encouragement from our guide and the van.

An incredible trip with great people across beautiful scenery, in particular the mountain areas. Dhimitri our guide was fantastic (very good dry sense of humour) and Visi provided excellent vehicle/ logitics support. Literally, I cannot think of one thing to fault either of them, their organisational skills were 1st class.
