The cycling was fine, but I expected more in-depth history and fewer quick stops.
Great for seeing Tirana quickly. I just wish the group was a bit smaller.
The pace was relaxed, and the commentary was interesting. Some parts were a little noisy for hearing though.
Everything went well, though I would have liked a bit more time at the Grand Park.
We loved it, but there were a couple of short delays at some stops due to traffic.
You get to feel like a Tirana local. Great guide, friendly atmosphere and beautiful sights.
The New Bazaar was a great ending—delicious sweets and colorful vibes after a fun ride.
I joined with my teen kids. They had fun cycling and even enjoyed learning about history!
The route was well-designed and included both historic sites and green spaces. Would do it again.
I saw more of the city in 3 hours than I would’ve in two days on foot. Great pace and energy!
