FAQs
What if I am vegetarian?
Do not worry, most of the meals will be fresh vegetable based with some exceptions of meat in certain places. Our guide will tailor your meals according to your needs
When is the best time of the year to visit?
Our tours are provided from April till October. Every month has its own uniqueness depending on the season. So the simple answer is, it depends whether you want to cycle at a cooler temperature during spring and autumn while still enjoying the beach, or you prefer the hot breeze and the excellent weather conditions of summer.
What do I need to bring with me on the trip?
According to your riding style, some cycling gear is needed, especially the helmet and raining gear. The weather condition in the mountains might change unexpectedly during autumn, so having them in your pannier during certain days would be a wise choice.
What happens if I do not want to cycle a certain day?
It’s very easy. You will be in the support van during the day enjoying the scenery and the awesome music that our driver will carefully select according to your preferences.
Is it possible to bring my own bicycle?
Absolutely, let us know beforehand through our email and we will tailor the price according to your decision.
Are the guides multilingual?
All our guides will speak fluent English, Albanian and Italian. So communication and understanding will be fairly easy.
Is the water drinkable during the trip?
For the most part yes, especially the spring water coming from the mountains. Your guide will brief you every night about certain cities where it is safer not to drink from the tap.
What if I need a single room?
Our basic prices are calculated for 2 people in one room. For further information please email us so we arrange a single room for you with an additional fee
Do I need a visa to come to Albania?
If you are a citizen coming from Europe, UK, New Zealand, Australia, Canada or the US you do not need a visa. For other countries, contact your local travel agent.
What are the road conditions during the tour?
Paved roads have been a trademark for Albania in the last 15 years, so during the tour you will expect nothing short of good tarmac throughout. There will be certain segments that have not gotten the proper attention since the fall of communism, especially in some rural areas, but you will always be briefed by the leader a day in advance on what to expect.
How do I make the reservation for the trip?
It is very simple, send us an email on which of the available dates you want to visit, type of room, vegetarian/vegan or any allergies and the size of bike that you would prefer. We will get back to you with additional information and prices.
What is the maximum amount of people on the tour and what quality should we expect from the hotels?
Usually our tour has a minimum of 6 people to a maximum of 20. Our chosen hotels vary from 4 star hotels near the Ionian to Guesthouses in more remote areas. They have been chosen carefully to meet the standards of proper service and hospitality.
Where will my luggage be stashed?
Our support van will follow you and the leader the whole time. All your luggage and extra items will be stored in the van and will be delivered to you upon arrival at the destination.
