    Montenegro bike tour

    This tour was excellent. Amazing views, very nice villages, very good food and cheap.
    I would like to mention the support we received from Darzen the local supplier.
    Darzen was very serviceable. Every request he handled with great willing. Every call he respond and gave us a great confidence that there is somebody that is taking care on us.
    I would like to thank Biketour and Darzen for this experience.

    Unforgettable Experience

    The perfect way to discover Montenegro from the mountains to the see. We enjoyed the self-guided tour very much. But be aware that the legs are long (over 60 km and acents of more than 1000 meters in total).

    Full of highlights!

    We thoroughly enjoyed an 8 day self guided tour in May 2025. The route took us through stunning sights just as the title suggests. We had the upgraded accommodation and were delighted each night. The train trip from Podgorica to Mojkovac was in itself a highlight travelling through incredible country. Very basic arrangements for carrying our bikes though with no assistance to lift or lower the bikes on and off the train nor special areas for storing them. Our bikes actaully blocked a toilet for the 2 hour journey.

    What a beautiful country

    Overall, it was a memorable experience, especially due to the stunning nature and dramatic landscapes — Montenegro's mountains, lakes, and scenery were absolutely breathtaking and made the trip truly special. Such a beautiful country!

    We had quality road bikes which was essential for this tour. The daily distances ranged from 50 to 70 km, with significant ascents most days. Without proper road bikes, the climbs would have been very demanding (maybe too demanding) so we were glad we had the right equipment.

    However, there were some aspects that didn’t match our expectations. The tour description indicated that we would mostly cycle on small roads and old railway tracks. In reality, a substantial portion of the route was on main roads with fairly heavy traffic. This was disappointing and at times felt unsafe — not what we had expected or been led to believe. This is something that should be clarified more accurately in the tour information.

    Additionally, we encountered a few tunnels along the way, which added to our concerns about safety. The bikes were not equipped with lights or reflectors, making visibility poor both for us and for passing vehicles. Navigating through dark tunnels without proper lighting was uncomfortable and could be dangerous.

    As for accommodation, it was mostly good, and in some cases exceeded expectations. While the tour was advertised as offering 3-star hotels, a few nights were spent in apartments without breakfast served at the location. This made our mornings a bit more complicated and delayed our starts, as we had to go to the restaurant and make the orders and wait for the food before setting off. Still, some of the places we stayed in were excellent, even better than the standard 3-star hotels.

    A major positive was our tour guide. He was always available, helpful, and gave us valuable briefings about road conditions and daily routes. When bad weather hit, he quickly arranged car transport for us, which was much appreciated.

    In summary, Montenegro is a fantastic cycling destination for nature lovers and strong riders. The organization had many good points — especially the bikes and the guide — but there’s room for improvement in terms of route planning, safety gear, and clear communication. With a few adjustments, this could be a top-notch tour.
