Farka Lake Bike Tour

As we will be biking and walking the whole tour, there will be no pollution (CO2 or noise pollution) and we will only have a small ecological footprint (GSTC D2.2). Because we set a maximum group size of 12 participants, we have a smaller impact per group, a better communication between every visitor and the guide, plus the guide can better ensure your safety while cycling. Our guides have a broad knowledge of the areas visited and the history, know how to behave appropriately and are trained to pass on the information to our guests (GSTC A9). That’s also because we hire only local guides, which mostly grew up in Tirana or the surroundings (GSTC B2). Furthermore, visitors get the opportunity to see Albanian culture, traditions and natural beauties, while through every tour booked, cultural heritage is preserved and protected (through keeping the pottery making alive) (GSTC C2 & C3). We make sure you will see the sights that are mentioned in the description (if nothing unexpected, like storm, injury etc. occurs or the group decides against this). The images we show are real pictures of Farka region and the sights you will visit (GSTC A6). You will do something for your health as well, but please make sure you are capable of cycling for 3-4 hours, especially in the summer heat.
