Is this trip right for you?
verified
To complete this trip it is important that you are both confident and competent in riding a bicycle.
verified
On this trip we have a single leader that rides with the group, and another that drives the support vehicle.
verified
While the cycling distances on this trip are relatively short (the longest ride is only 50 kilometres) the terrain of the Dalmatian Coast is naturally hilly and the climate often warm. You’ll need a reasonable level of fitness to enjoy the trip, but remember we will always have the support vehicle on hand if you need to take a break for an hour or a day.
verified
As our riding is done mostly on sealed roads with the occasional gravel cycle path.
verified
As there are cobblestones and many stairs in most European towns, and space in our support van is limited, it's strongly recommended that you leave any wheelie bags/cases at home and bring a backpack instead.
verified
You'll be spending your nights in hotels at each step on this tour, ranging from comfortable to basic levels. Hotels in Europe often don't have double beds, but rather two single beds that can be pushed together.

Two weeks cycling. Excellent way of exploring a new destination. Had excellent crew ——Vorda, Zoky, Igor, Mario and last year’s leader for Baltics cycling Tomi. Feels like I know the entire European crew. Formed warm friendship with them. Now they are my personal friends! Highly recommended!

The Croatia & Balkans Cycle trip was sensational, it very interesting cycling in beautiful countries of Croatia, Montenegro and Bosnia, although the distances were not long there was a lot of physical climbing! but the reward of seeing all those beautiful views of the croayian islands and alps regions of Mont & Bosina was worth it. The food was really interesting to try as its ddifferent to what you have at home and it was Delicious. Sarajevo is fantastic plcae to finisht. Would recommend an extra day in Sarajevo after trip to learn the history of the 90's. We had a great group of travelers, tour leader and driver/mechanic in Tony and Sasha who made the trip special. Reccomend Highly

This trip is absolutely fantastic. The scenery is incredible across the three countries and so varied from beautiful beaches to breathtaking mountains. Our guides Andro and Saša were brilliant, always motivating and supporting us whilst making the trip so much fun and providing us with great food recommendations at each town. I can’t recommend this trip highly enough!
