Why Go on a Self-Guided Cycling Tour?

At Albania Bike Tours, we are proud to guide you along the legendary Dinaric Cycling Route or through Albania’s stunning UNESCO-listed south. For a broader adventure, our Cycle the Balkans Tour takes you through four countries – Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, and Albania – blending history, nature, and adventure into an unforgettable journey.

Our tours are self-guided, meaning you are flexible to follow your schedule, stop for incredible photo opportunities, and explore a chosen region at your own pace. There is no guide, mandatory meeting points, or timeline to stick to. 

If you are unsure whether the tour might be too challenging, you can always opt for an e-bike to make it easier, especially given the hilly terrain of the Albanian Dinar Alps.

As soon as you book a bike tour with us, you can sit back and relax while we take care of planning for you. We will consider your preferences, book your accommodations, and prepare the GPS routes to ensure you experience Albaina's beauty and hospitality to its fullest. 

You will receive a digital guidebook with all the necessary information. It will consist of an itinerary with daily descriptions of the ride, as well as a GPS file to use on the road. Your accommodations will be marked on the GPS routes, along with the highlights you will spot on the way.

We kindly invite you to check out our tours, book a call with our cycling specialist, and pick your perfect cycling holiday!

This tour met and exceeded our expectations. It was certainly challenging cycling for seniors but most of us did it all seven days. Scenery and culture of the islands was glorious. Guide and crew was superb!

Our one week tour of Slovenia with these 3 young local guides surpassed all expectations! We travelled from Bled through the Sovenian Alps all the way to to coastal seaside Piran, through villages , on backroads ….it felt like riding through a story book….a delightful surprise around every turn . Our guides took care of our every need: charming accommodations, snacks every day at fantastic off beat locations, mid-ride. We covered 250 km over 5 riding days. The one day we were rained out, they quickly pivoted, and we were able to visit a wonderful historical national museum, which informed us so much in terms of the history in the Soča valley…So the day became not a write off but an educational experience! It was quite special to know the history of the Soča valley as we journeyed through the region, seeing the incredible geographical diversity of this beautiful country on excellent quality e-bikes. Highly recommend! Trip of a lifetime ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First class company with a well planned route, great accommodation and simply outstanding support in time of trouble. We did a two week ride from Bled to Pula in September 2023. Fair to say we hit a lot of problems courtesy of BA with rescheduled and diverted flights, lost bags, problems with our own bikes, returning rental bikes and more. Daja was simply amazing in helping us sort all of them out and was so accessible at all hours. She even managed to source and buy a forgotten Thru-axle and deliver it personally to our hotel, which is far and above any service i would reasonably expect. Thank you !! Our accommodation was fantastic and far better than expected in all but one location. The route planning in Slovenia was great but due to our decision to bring road bikes from the UK and the nature of the roads in Croatia, our second week was a bit tricky route wise and it would have been good to have had a discussion about this section beforehand. A Gravel bike is far better suited to Croatia although this was our decision to bring road bikes. Transport arrangement and logistics were flawless. Overall, i would change very little and we will definitely be returning to Slovenia. Daja was fantastic and I absolutely recommend Slovenia Cycling Holidays and will be using their services again.

We had a wonderful cycling trip, starting in Trieste, then onto Slovenia and Croatia. Before the trip, Klemen was extremely patient with our many questions and addressed our concerns very satisfactorily- even changing the original bike route to meet our needs. The bikes we used ( e-bikes) were in great condition, and easy to use. The hotels were very satisfactory- and included big breakfasts to start our days. The towns we visited were charming. All in all- a first class experience!!

We had a wonderful tour of Greece on bikes. All of the hotels and towns were unique and wonderful, the rides were a reasonable length for my wife and we had a great time on our own without guides. Thank you very much and I would do the exact trip again.
