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.
Most Inspirational Moment
For me the Working Farm and looking out the window to see sheep, goats and horses froliking was the highlight.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Could not have been better!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Visit this country - now!
Briliant Guide and Support
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.
Most Inspirational Moment
Mountain climb on the final cycle day.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent, very experienced and knowledgeable and a pleasure to be around.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Do the trip before Albania becomes more popular and the roads get busier.
Hot and exhilarating
Lots of fun with a great group of like minded individuals and plenty of good local knowledge thrown in the mix.
Most Inspirational Moment
1st and 2nd day on the new tarmac riding through majestic alpine like valleys and passes
Thoughts on Group Leader
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!
Advice for Potential Travellers
Maybe try to avoid the hottest weeks for your tour.
Just what we wanted!
We have had a great time during this trip. Excellent group of peers, great leader, beautiful cycling, great food
Most Inspirational Moment
The last day was inspiring from a sports perspective. The early part of the trip is very relaxing in green and mountains
Thoughts on Group Leader
Friendly, very experienced. He gave us framework and leeway at the same time
Advice for Potential Travellers
Mid-June is almost too late in the season: High temperatures and cycling and ascent are difficult to accommodate
Amazing Country Disappointing Guiding
A trip through some amazing and varied landscapes staying in lovely local guest houses and nice hotels. Somewhat ruined by poor guiding.
Most Inspirational Moment
Cycling through incredible, breathtaking landscapes on quiet roads.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Terrible. He was not really present. He was distracted and unhelpful and often rude.
Cycling in Albania week of 15th June
^ day cycling trip through Southern Albania.
Most Inspirational Moment
Visiting the town of Gijorkaster. We didn't take the guided tour but wandered on our own.
Thoughts on Group Leader
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.
Advice for Potential Travellers
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
Authentic Albanian Adventure
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.
Most Inspirational Moment
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.
Thoughts on Group Leader
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.
Advice for Potential Travellers
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.
Balkan escapade
Wonderful trip with good leader & driver as well as excellent group participation
Most Inspirational Moment
Majestic views & eagles!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Very convivial and informative
Advice for Potential Travellers
Have no worries!
Rivers, hills and swims
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
Most Inspirational Moment
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
Thoughts on Group Leader
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
Advice for Potential Travellers
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
