★★★★★ Elizabeth Gomm
A brilliant tour
Cycling the West Balkan Triangle
We had a fabulous tour with Alex our tour leader doing a great job as our guide while Gari was a terrific back up driver. Both were extremely helpful and good company. We used electric bikes and are glad we did as there are many steep hill climbs and descents on this tour. The scenery is wonderful and travelling through three countries was a real treat. We arranged a rest day in Kotor which was a wonderful break in a very lovely setting. The scenery along the whole route, perhaps particularly in Montenegro and Croatia, is stunning and the tour took us on many interesting and good roads, and, while there were occasional very busy roads, Alex and Gary managed our passage extremely well. The meals provided, especially the lunches, were terrific and much better than I had anticipated, with different places selected including a winery, olive grove and standout cevapi restaurant in Bosnia.

Good biking, great people, excellent food
Cycling the West Balkan Triangle
This tour exceeded my expectations which were quite high. One note for flat land bikers - there are some serious ascents on this trail ex. Day 1 was 38 miles with 3,400 foot climb. So consider an e-bike or at minimum a road bike. First two days were good but days 3 through 6 were amazing. Accommodations were a solid 3 to 4 star with stays mainly along the coast, in historic old towns or in mountain villages. Alex, a former professional bike racer, challenged the group to get the most out of every day. Luka in the trail van was an excellent provider and always there when you needed something. Breakfast and lunch is included everyday of the tour. Lunches were exceptional on days 3, 4, 5 and 6. I never tired of biking along the Adriatic coast with stunning views on most days. I have no hesitation in recommending this trip. You will not regret it.

Awesome and educational
Sarajevo City & War Bike Tour
The guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the history of war on a Bosnian point of view.

Super bike tour through Sarajevo
Sarajevo City & War Bike Tour
We had a super bike tour through Sarajevo, the young guide (only 19 years old) led us through the old and new town, he knew a lot of things about the history and was eiger to tell us about it. First we went to the old town, olympic village and the tunnel of hope (must see)
it is a nice long drive on the bike but he took the time, for us the best way to experience a town.
We will visit Sarajevo again and do another bike tour. We recommend Biketours to anyone who wants to discover Sarajevo. -

Thrilling adventure
Skakavac Waterfall MTB Tour Sarajevo
A shuttle took us up the hill, and then we went down, enjoying the scenic route through lush forests and rugged terrain. It's truly an immersive nature experience. Our guide was outstanding, providing expert guidance and fascinating insights about the area. This tour is perfect for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike. Highly recommended for an unforgettable outdoor adventure in Sarajevo!

Extremely rewarding and fun ride
Trebevic Olympic Mountain Bike Tour Sarajevo
Perfect mountain bike ride on the doorstep of Sarajevo, Said from Torus Tours was a very friendly, knowledgeable and fun guide who paced the tour really well. It was a long uphill climb but felt like the perfect day on the bike with old friends, even though I was a solo traveller. Views from the top were amazing and the descent was fun. But riding down the bobsled track was the highlight, an incredible experience that you have to try if you visit Sarajevo!!

Wonder-Filled
Cycling the West Balkan Triangle
The tour was an amazing way to explore the history and cultures of the Balkan Countries.
Though the mountains were a challenge to climb (especially for those of us who chose standard hybrid bikes), our guide would encourage us with "I believe in you". We learned to then believe in ourselves.- What was the date of your tour?

Way better than we even anticipated!!!!!
Balkan Treasures
This tour is truly a collection of "gems"! Here's why we rated the tour a 5 star.
1. the level of support from the tour guide was amazing! The tour includes being transported to several different locations so that all of your time is spent on truly beautiful rides. Our guide was very patient, informative and friendly!!
2. We were on the extended version so we got to be in four countries in 8 days! we learned so much about the politics and history of the region.
3. All of the accommodations were great but a couple were outstanding! Again we learned so much about the culture and cuisine of the different countries through these experiences.
4. The routes deserve special mention. We were amazed to discover beautiful scenic rides day after day.
5. The rides were quite easy, especially for seasoned riders. This did not bother us because the overall experience was so rich.
6. We relied primarily on an app for directions. this was supported by written materials. we thought this was a great way to tour.
7. Montenegro, Albania and Bosnia Herzegovina have yet to be discovered by most tourist. They are gorgeous, safe (for the most part) and inexpensive by the standards most Westerners are used to. This is a great time to see those incredible countries!
We absolutely loved this trip. If you are considering, my advise is sign up! You will thank yourself!- What was the date of your tour?

Wonderful and adventurous trip
Balkan Treasures
This was such an adventurous trip. Wonderful scenery and places. Great people in all the countries we visited.
Only criticism was that one of booked hotels was way below standard and appeared out of business. The tour company quickly remedied the problem with a change to another hotel that was excellent- What was the date of your tour?

Excellent Balkan cycling experience
Balkan Treasures
We did a self-guided tour using e-bikes. The rides were quite different each day. The destinations are varied and interesting, and the hotels were all good (3*). The local operator managed the logistics very well. Note there are three car transfers during this trip. Each of them is about 1.5 hrs. Whilst this extends the days, it does mean you get to experience some very different parts of the region. You do genuinely experience many Balkan treasures. Our highlights included cycling around the Bay of Kotor, cycling down the amazing switchbacks into Kotor on the last day, cycling through the hills alongside Lake Skadar, staying in Stari Bar and the food at Hotel Tradita in Albania.

Well organised experience with amazing scenery
Balkan Treasures
This was my first biking tour and I hope I am not spoilt now because this one was so fantastic. The hotels were quaint, the scenery breathtaking, and everything ran without a hitch. I loved the variety of mountains, ocean, lakes , forests and farms. My only comment is that it would be better to only spend one night in Skodar because of all the places we went, this was my least favorite. While the city is on a lake, there is a lot of litter which is not great. Two days in the national park would have been better. Other than that, I highly recommend this tour!

Great last minute trip
Balkan Treasures
We booked a somewhat last minute trip and did the Balkan Treasure self-guided trip.
It was our first time doing a self-guided bike trip and we didn’t know what to expect. Our dedicated tour operator was incredible, quick to reply and assist when we needed him. He also gave us great ride recommendations in addition to the scheduled routes.- What was the date of your tour?

Fantastic trip!
Balkan Treasures
The rides, hotels, shuttles, bikes and local trip coordinator were all great. The hotels were beyond our expectations. We felt that we had an amazing trip for a very reasonable price. We bought our own bike mirrors which we were very pleased to have since it was only the two of us riding together and sometimes the traffic was a bit tricky.

Tough riding but worth it!
Cycling the West Balkan Triangle
My husband and I really enjoyed this tour of the Balkan triangle. There was some amazing scenery and our climbs were always rewarded with incredible ocean and valley views. Tomi was a great guide, and kept us moving along. You could tell he really appreciates the beauty of his country and is happy to show it off. We couldn't have had a better van driver than Darco, who was always ready and willing to help, close by enough to support us with water, food and the occasional lift. The roads are narrow in these countries, which is a bit nerve wracking at the beginning, until you realize that everyone is used to passing in close quarters and you just get used to the narrowness of the roads. Much of the trip is on paths or quiet roads though. We loved the food and the accommodations on this tour as well.

Great Experience!
Cycling the West Balkan Triangle
First I have to mention our great guide and support Mario and Darco. They helped make this such an incredible trip. They were accommodating, flexible, funny and full of history about the area. I know my daughter loved talking with them about their life growing up in Croatia and the incredible history of the area. We fell in love with Croatia and Bosnia Hertsagovina. I know I just spelled that incorrectly I apologize.
My husband and I used the electric bikes which had multiple settings so we had great workouts everyday while not holding back our daughter from getting a great workout on her regular bike up with the guide. Electric bikes are genius and really the way to go especially if the people you are traveling with may be in a little better shape. Their bikes were excellent.
I loved the lunch breaks on the side of the road each day and as soon as Darco realized the type of food we liked while exercising he added it the next day (oranges never tasted so good!) together with his own favorites it was perfect.
We again can not say enough about Mario. His sweet disposition and willingness to do whatever he could to make our trip memorable was greatly appreciated.
The mileage each day was not bad but the climbs gave us such a great
workout!- What was the date of your tour?

Breathtaking Scenery
Cycling the West Balkan Triangle
The views on this trip are amazing! True, there are a few climbs, but the views and the downhills more than make up for them. Our guide Mario was attentive, capable, enjoyable, responsive. We enjoyed the fresh, seasonal, healthy meals, and the accommodations were first rate! The rental bikes were comfortable and well suited to the road conditions. It was fascinating to experience the different countries and cultures in such a compact space; so different from the U.S. The only improvement I would recommend would be for printed maps or cue sheets to follow, even though we had a guide. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone with an interest in beautiful scenery, complex history and cultures, and a fun bike tour!

Balkans Introduction
Cycling the West Balkan Triangle
This trip was our introduction to supported touring. The cost was reasonable, hotels were charming, the guides were top notch. There were some areas that were not bike friendly---our guide did a remarkable job keeping us safe. The rented bicycles were high quality--no worries there. May/June, September/October are the times to go, summer is too hot.
