This was an amazing tour traveling through the Balkans. I would highly recommend this tour. The scenery was incredible, the places were amazing, food was delicious especially at the Mrizi Zanava, and the guide was exceptional, interesting, informative and went out of his way to provide the best experience possible. It was well worth it.

I recently completed a guided cycling tour through Alb Expeditions. The experience exceeded my expectations thanks in large part to our fantastic guide Arjan. Arjan was impeccably organized. Every route, stop, and accommodation was thoughtfully planned out making the entire journey smooth and stress free. His attention to detail was impressive, from ensuring our bikes were properly adjusted, to anticipating our needs, to managing a diverse group of cyclists with ease (no easy task!). What really stood out was Arjan’s deep knowledge of Albania, which he readily shared. Learning about Albania’s history, culture and landscapes really brought the country we were riding through to life. Beyond his professionalism and competence, Arjan has a great personality. He is warm, approachable, and a fun person to cycle with. He created an atmosphere of camaraderie among the group and made each day enjoyable and engaging. Overall, the trip was an unforgettable experience and much of that is thanks to having such a capable and genuinely wonderful guide leading the way.

Our guide and driver, Gesi, was great! He's very knowledgeable on the history of all the sites we visited and was always thought about asking if we needed breaks. His restaurant suggestions were spot on. With respect to the tour itself, I would highly recommend. Not too much driving in one day and you really get a feel for the country.

- Spring 2026
Spring hits the sweet spot for cycling in Albania - you'll find mild weather and wildflowers scattered across the countryside. Our more experienced riders take on the route from Lake Ohrid through the Grammoz Mountains, including that solid climb up Barmash Pass at 1,159 meters. There are gentler options along the Ionian coast where you can roll between historic spots and take coffee breaks in fishing villages. Many travelers pick our cultural circuits connecting Kruja's old bazaar, the Roman amphitheater in Durres and also UNESCO-listed Berat. Looking through April feedback, our customers consistently mention perfect exploring weather with fewer crowds and great photo chances.

Summer brings out the best of Albania's mountain possibilities. The Theth to Valbona route tops our list - you'll stay with local families in traditional houses and try their home-cooked mountain dishes. The Lake Koman cruise takes you between massive cliff walls before you head into valleys with clear running rivers. Along the coast, we mix time at Butrint's ancient site with swims at Ksamil's turquoise beaches. Our travelers really connect with the sustainable approach - staying at family farms up in the hills and joining local craft sessions. They often tell us how much they value the mix of hiking, cultural experiences and also traditional hospitality.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Autumn creates perfect conditions for walking in Albania's mountains - clear skies and comfortable temperatures make it ideal. The trails through Valbona National Park are particularly good now, with golden beech forests and sharp mountain views. Our cultural routes let you explore Gjirokaster's Ottoman buildings and visit wineries during harvest. The coastal paths work well through October, and our travelers mention enjoying the quieter atmosphere at places like Apollonia and also Butrint. Many pick combined routes that mix walks in the Accursed Mountains with stops at medieval monasteries and also traditional villages.

- Winter 2026 / 2027
Winter in Albania opens up a different side of our cultural routes, with both indoor and outdoor experiences that work well in the cooler months. The Onufri Museum inside Berat Castle stays cozy, and we've found our guests really appreciate warming up with local families who serve traditional meals in their homes. The thermal springs near Permet have become a winter favorite. Gjirokastra's stone streets are perfect for small walking groups, and many of our travelers tell us they love having Butrint's ancient ruins almost to themselves this time of year. The mountain scenery takes on its own character in winter, and we've balanced comfortable places to stay with deep dives into the local history.
