Lots of fun with a great group of like minded individuals and plenty of good local knowledge thrown in the mix.
1st and 2nd day on the new tarmac riding through majestic alpine like valleys and passes
Great - Juli was cool under pressure, sometimes a little disorganised but always with our wishes and requirements foremost in the planning. Plenty of good advice for alternative options should we be up for it. I enjoyed the "fixer" attitude!
Maybe try to avoid the hottest weeks for your tour.
We have had a great time during this trip. Excellent group of peers, great leader, beautiful cycling, great food
The last day was inspiring from a sports perspective. The early part of the trip is very relaxing in green and mountains
Friendly, very experienced. He gave us framework and leeway at the same time
Mid-June is almost too late in the season: High temperatures and cycling and ascent are difficult to accommodate
A trip through some amazing and varied landscapes staying in lovely local guest houses and nice hotels. Somewhat ruined by poor guiding.
Cycling through incredible, breathtaking landscapes on quiet roads.
Terrible. He was not really present. He was distracted and unhelpful and often rude.
^ day cycling trip through Southern Albania.
Visiting the town of Gijorkaster. We didn't take the guided tour but wandered on our own.
Our group leader could have done a lot more. He was not always at the head of our cycling group and at one point I came out of a restaurant to find that the whole group had already left including the van. Also there was no maintenance of the bikes no checking of tyres quite unacceptable. The payment for dinners and drinks was very poorly organised. It should have been done after each meal which it was not. Given the temperatures we should have been leaving much earlier each morning he should have made this happen.
I would certainly have some local currency in my pocket to pay for meals etc. Also check which hotels you are staying at as they seem to love loud Ibiza style music not what you want when you've just ridden 60km in 35 C
If you enjoy cycling on quiet (resurfaced) roads, through dramatic mountain ranges, across high plateaus, following gorgeous river gorges and absorbing cobalt blue views along the coastal riviera, then this might be for you. The mountain air was so still and clean with all the associated quiet of mountain ranges full of distinct bird song, scents and sights of wild flower meadows and herbs. This cycling adventure has it all. The food and accommodation along the way provided authetic organic cuisine in the mountains in a variety of traditional family hotels and cabins. I felt very privileged seeing the beauty Albania has to offer, one can see that as a country and people they are looking to a brighter future having moved on from a difficult recent past. Such a great adventure to be had and I would thoroughly recommend taking the opportunity to explore this beautiful country.
So many inspiring moments. Collectively it is the mountain scenery and river gorges, the nature, the meadows, the varied landscape, the quietness, the bird song, the stillness of the mornings - beautiful.
We couldn't have wished for a more competent, expert leader who was so positive about the future of Albania and honest and knowledgeable about it's past. Erlis was a wonderful leader, clear in his communications, caring and friendly, very well organised and knowledgeable.
I've now been on five Exodus Adventures, walking, cycling on and off road (Morocco), canoeing (in Africa) - I have always had wonderful experiences and, whether good fortune, the groups have always bonded and been very friendly and suppotive, great fun and indeed often stayed in contact. I'm now thinking what my next adventure will be with Exodus.
Wonderful trip with good leader & driver as well as excellent group participation
Majestic views & eagles!
Very convivial and informative
Have no worries!
An interesting counter-point to the longer Balkans’ cycling trip, which finishes in N Albania. Mostly excellent routes (although traffic around the Ionian coast was sometimes awful) taking in the spectacular Vjosa river, Gjirokaster and the coast. Albania’s in the throes of a development revolution – go now before it’s completely overrun by N Europeans in camper vans
The views along the Vjosa river - and watching fireflies during dinner at the Coli guesthouse ("Hani i Coles"). A testament to life before agri-business, although damned hard work for those still farming in semi-traditional ways
Professional and proud Albanian. This translated into clear route briefings / handling of the coffee kitty / food advice etc - but having previously completed the Balkans' trip I was expecting more insights into Albania itself
Be interested! And don't be intimidated by the distances or gradients. The traffic in and around Sarandë is awful, but fortunately only represents a few hours out of the whole trip
Excellent
The final climb
Excellent
A great trip
A well guided and planned trip through an amazing country
Having my very own log burning stove in my cabin at the trout farm!
Erlis was amazing. Excellent English, higly educated and looked after every aspect of our wellbeing
Albania pretty much accept euros everywhere. There are some big steep climbs so unless you are super fit or a regular hill climber take an e-bike! Out of 16 on our tour 11 were e-bikes.
I expected Albania to be quite pretty, I was not prepared for breathtakingly beautiful scenery around every turn. The scale of the relatively untouched wilderness is staggering. Ok getting to see all this wonder does take a bit of climbing which my husband loved, I loved the well maintained e-bike which made the whole trip much more enjoyable. The decent on the second day was possibly my favourite bit but the whole holiday was a joy. We received a warm welcome wherever we went, especially in the guest house and the freshly prepared food was a bonus. Well organised, mostly quiet roads, if you don’t like climbing – do it on an e-bike!
The staggering scenery.
Erlis was excellent.
The second night in the mountains was long trousers and a jumper chilly at the end of April.
