Albanian Highlights

Great group of folks and Cycle Albania has lots of experience. Lodging always had hot water, wifi and was clean. Beautiful countryside.

The most memorable part of the trip was all the great people we met from all over the world. The guides were great, the bikes were good, the scenery was beautiful and climbing the mountains was a nice challenge.

The landscape is beautiful, the guide & driver extremely helpful, and the biking just the right amount of challenge (with e-bikes). Tani made sure our batteries were always charged, shooed donkeys off our path, our luggage always at the ready, and drove behind us to make sure we were all safe. Andrea led us through all weather, answered endless questions, and made sure our dietary and other needs were cared for. I highly recommend this trip.

Seeing so much of the country in 8 days, enjoying all the delicious food we were served and making great friends on the bike ride.

Everyday had its own memorable take aways. I would say touring the villages and back country and the hospitality of every Albanian person we met. they are so proud other country, their food and their hospitality is amazing.

Our 2 guides, Dimitri and Vicci were fabulous!!!

We had the most wonderful group of people on this tour. Our guide, Mateo, and back up vehicle driver, Klodian, took such great care of us, making sure we didn't have to lift a finger. The bikes were in great condition - Liv & Giant. The route was well planned and we road through beautiful scenery, lots of undulating hills and distances never more than we could manage in a day. All of the accommodation was great, the food was just amazing... never a bad meal, and the Albanian people are just wonderful. I would highly recommend this tour.

Cycling is a fantastic way to see a country. This was my first cycling tour and I would definitely do another one. You don’t need to be an avid cyclist when using an electric bike you can get as much or as little exercise as you like.
Juli was our guide and he was fantastic. He was energetic fun fair and always going the extra mile
If you could get him as a guide it would be great trip. In addition the food was varied and delicious. I would recommend this trip.

Albania Highlights was the most amazing cycle tour. Well organized, our guides were friendly and professional. We experienced some of the most spectacular views I've ever witnessed. As you cycle, you'll be treated to panoramic vistas of lush valleys, rugged peaks, and a stunning landscape that stretches as far as the eye can see. We had fantastic fellow cyclist's to enjoy the Albanian hospitality. Highly recommend to future cyclist's.

My fondest memory is riding past kids wanting to high-five the cyclists going through their village, and apple pickers on carts giving us apples as we rode by.

Beautiful scenery, great variety and fabulous food. Bikes were good quality, lovely accommodation, well organised on a day to day basis

The food was excellent without exception. Our guide was super helpful, supportive, safety conscious and knowledgeable. The people of Albania are very friendly and I always felt safe while riding my bike.

This tour is a great value for the expenditure.

The Albanian bike trip started slowly on various fronts. Then, each day it built and built on the previous day’s experiences. Until, you were bombarded with so much beauty, good food and laughter that you could have been forgiven for thinking you had somehow slipped into heaven. Albeit, with Paragliders substituting for angels. I mean WOW.

Bato and Juli, the duo who looked after us;
were a father and son team. They were up to every challenge we hurled at them. They were competent, compassionate and charming.

My only recommendation would be to stay one extra night at the final hotel.

The reality of a 4:00 AM airport transfer after having had such a gratifying trip, was harsh! Ha

What a fantastic 10-day cycling trip to Albania! It was exciting to see the beauty of Albania on a bicycle from the Llogara Pass, a high mountain pass within the Ceraunian Mountains, to the coastline of the Albania Riveria. Our tour guide, Juli, and support team, Bato, did a fantastic job. The entire tour was seamless. The meals were preplanned and ready to be served when we got off the bikes. The routes were well-planned and beautiful, with excellent coffee breaks and interesting mini-tours along the way. I would highly recommend this trip.

I have always wanted to take a challenging cycling trip. It has taken me 10 years to find the right people to lead me there safely. Thank you Hennie. I loved how the trip swept us along a variety of landscape and terrain. I appreciate history and liked the stops along the way to see how these beautiful people have fared through the centuries. The food was more than ample and delicious! So much goodness comes from the land and the people’s effort.
The mountains were spectacular and the Ionian Sea at the end was our reward. We went back in time to see an agrarian society working hard, yet having access to good food and good water. I appreciated the drinking water all along the way ❤️
My big tip is to stay two extra nights in Vlorë when you are done to enjoy your newly toned muscles and the Sea. Also it wouldn’t hurt to come a day early just to have a day to discover Tiranë and deal with the challenges of traveling days.

A delightful 8 days of biking in Albania on an e-bike! Every day we experienced something different and beautiful scenery. I enjoyed biking through the farmlands and mountains and along the coast. Excellent accommodations and food. The Albanian people were friendly, especially the motorists who patiently shared the roads with us, although we mostly had the roads to ourselves. The guide was excellent and made the trip extra fun. The sag wagon worked out very well too, if someone was having an off day. I've been on eight TripSite vacations and this was one of my favorites.

This is my 2nd trip that I booked through Tripsite and again it DID NOT disappoint. Our adventure through Albania was amazing. I don’t know how or who finds the tour guides there, but they are without a doubt. The trip I went on last year was so fabulous that ALL of the same people (17)wanted to do another trip together. That REALLY says a lot for this company, our tour guide Julian took us through parts of Albania, that were so magnificent that only pictures can describe it. The places we stayed, the sights that we saw, the food that we ate, and how well organized everything was was beyond belief. I can’t wait to hear what trip site is thinking for next year‘s trip. Thank you to Hennie and everyone at Tripsite & Julian & Bato our guides for making this extra special.

PS: If there is a place to put pictures. I will be happy to include some. A+ experience

I was very impressed with the organization of this tour, thanks to Juli and his papa, Bato. Our bikes were always ready and fully charged by Bato and Juli led our group through the beautiful Albanian countryside with efficiency, grace and humor. It wasn't always easy managing 18 of us! The restaurants were always ready for us with food that was delicious and plentiful. Our accommodations were very nice, clean and comfortable. Eight days and 300 miles of cycling was the right amount of time and distance. I would highly recommend this trip with Juli and Bato!

This trip was a most enjoyable travel experience! I was a stranger in a foreign land with a group of bicyclists whom I barely knew! The sites were beautiful, the people warm and friendly. My memories will always be that this was one of my most wonderful life experiences!
This trip was well planned and expertly carried out!
