About this trip
A trip we'd happily do again next month
Join this super diverse cycling tour and experience the diversity of the three countries, but also the very many elements they have in common. At first you will enjoy warm hospitality, discover unique and iconic landscapes and places and last but not least you will reward yourself with delicious local dishes and drinks.
This is one of our signature cycling trip journeys in Albania · Croatia · Montenegro · Bosnia and Herzegovina. We've walked it many times — alone, with friends, with our own families — and we've shaped it into something we're genuinely proud of.
You'll be in a small group, led by a local guide who knows the trails, the families along the way, and the best place to stop for lunch. Nothing rushed. Nothing generic.
