    All aspects of the trip were so superior, it's hard to know what to put first, The route offered varied scenery and an opportunity to experience the area in a deeper way that is not possible from a vehicle on main roads. The daily rides were hard enough to be satisfying but not exhausting. The guide was outstanding in tending to everyone's specific needs and was extremely knowledgeable about the history past and present. The side trips were well chosen. The lodging was varied but always good. And the food at the dinners offered a fine sample of classic dishes.

    Our guide Razvan really made this a fantastic trip. Together with our driver Geo, he made sure that everything ran smoothly. They were a great team. Razvan is an excellent guide. He made the cycling fun and gave us lots of interesting facts about the history and nature of this beautiful country. The cycling was great. We visited some really beautiful and fascinating places. The scenery was wonderful with sun, blue skies and snow on the mountains. I also enjoyed the abundance of bird life. The picnics were a delight and always in lovely locations.

    The visits to historic villages, monasteries etc were the highlight. Sadly, we didn't see the mountains because of low clouds and this was a massive disappointment.
