I can’t recommend these guys enough. Right away we felt welcome and in good hands. The bikes are top quality all round. All new models and well taken care of, something you really want to feel when you’re about to make a 2000+ kilometer trip through Greece. I will definitely come back and rent here again. Thanks for making our holiday so awesome!!

We enjoyed a superb private tour “Paradisial Peloponnese” with Pictours of Greece. George, our tour leader, delivered a magical week with great food and diverse experiences from wine tasting to cave exploration as well as the many historical sites. Never have we been so pampered! Babis, our guide with amazing knowledge and panache, brought Greek history to life and was simply enthralling as we explored the Parthenon, Nemea, Monevasia, Olympia, Mycenae, Sparta, Ancient Corinth and so much more. We had great difficulty selecting the best moment from the many experiences but concluded that hearing Babis tell the story of Agamemnon and Helen at the top of Mycenae was our fondest memory. We were somewhat wary of a tour with a historic and cultural focus but our concern quickly disappeared as we entered the tunnel at Nemea and lined up at the race start as athletes would have done thousands of years ago. Every day brought a new adventure and enchanting stories. The attention to detail and the genuine caring throughout the week made the trip effortless and smooth. Greece in winter without the crowds was simply incredible - the stunning sites, diverse experiences, the beautiful landscape, the warm welcomes, and the delicious food. Highly recommended!

I can't thank our tour guide Adam enough for giving us a fun filled day from start to finish. If you are lucky enough to get him as your tour guide you will agree with me that he is one interesting man on this planet! He went above and beyond, even making additional pit stops. He showed us so much in one day that would of easily taken us two to three days to do. The tour exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to do future day trips in other countries/cities with Albanian Express Travel and Adam!
4. Visit Albania and North of Greece
Through our Crossroads of Cultures program, travelers learn from expert lecturers while journeying through Albania’s most notable sites and towns along with Epirus, Greece’s northwest region. Even though Albania, which borders northwest Greece, has been inhabited for at least ten millennia, today it’s one of Europe’s last “undiscovered’ countries but Albania’s strategic position, only a short distance from Italy across the Adriatic Sea, and commanding the route from west to east, made it an important and flourishing possession of empires and other powers since antiquity. Greeks founded cities on its shore, beginning in the 7th century BC; the Romans made it a province, later becoming a Byzantine and Ottoman territory; and in the early 20th century, it was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and under the domination of Italy and Germany.

A wonderful and relaxing cruise. Beautiful islands visited and an opportunity to snorkel and swim on a couple of the islands. Even got to see some dolphins! Great stocked up bar and Maria was very informative - and talented - with her translation from 4 languages on the guided tour! Don’t miss this one!
