As my first cycling holiday, this Albanian trip was a great experience. Fabulous mountain ranges, some challenging climbs on roads with not much traffic were highlights for me along with the food which tasted great and lots of it. Accommodation was to a high standard and the guide and driver / mechanic were very knowledgeable and put a huge effort into making sure the group had a great holiday.

Very well organised providing for appropriate acclimatisation before heading over 5000m. So many outstanding experiences: being on the equator, the first sight of Cotopaxi, standing on the glacier, the Devils Nose Ride and the free day when a couple of us went rafting. Absolutely loved it and intend heading back this way sometime next year. Highly recommended!

This is a fun walking week making the most of the relatively short train connections along the coast between Genoa and La Spezia. The famous Cinque Terre villages and footpaths are fine to see but the other day walks - in Portofino, Sestri Levanti, Levanto, Port Venere etc are less touristy and if anything better. The walking is often quite steep and rugged but days are not long and the 'home' village of Moneglia and cosy family hotel make a great base.

Very enjoyable trip, great food, great views and happy cycling

With walks in the mountains, along the coast and within gorges on the south coast we experienced a good variety of terrain in 1 week. Unfortunately the Samaria gorge was closed as a result of high water levels but the necessary late changes to itinerary and accommodation were excellently managed by Jean.
