The trip was wonderful. Every place we visited was amazing. The food was fabulous - excellent meals at a very reasonable costs. The guide was a gracious host teaching us much about the Balkans. I would highly recommend the trip.
It was an amazing experience. Services were top class throughout the tour. The travel specialist's team were always there to assist me. My tour guide was the best. He was a great driver and had amazing knowledge about history, culture and good restaurants for meals. I highly recommend this tour. It was a real value for money.
What goes up must come down This trip was a calculated risk - who do you know whos been to Albania? However, it paid off. It was a great trip, memorable for the fantastic cycling experience, friendly population, superb local cuisine and the skills and helpful nature of the guide and driver/mechanic. The pound in your pocket went a long way too. The challenge rating is accurate - it is tough on some of the hills, especially combined with searing 40+C heat. No one should feel shame in hopping on the bus in those circumstances. We had superb people in our guide (Junid) and driver. Both put heart and soul into making our lives easier and the experience very enjoyable. The bikes were of a great standard and needed to be to tackle the inclines. The route was well designed and took in stunning scenery. The highlight was the Macedonian foray and the UNESCO listed Tuen of Ohrid.
