Giro D’Italia Grande Partenza "Experience" - Albania, 2025

It was the best trip I have taken in a long time. I enjoyed every bit of it. The leadership, communication, and support were outstanding. I was the slowest rider in the group and I never felt scared or lost confidence in riding every day and doing at my own pace and staying within my comfort level. Will certainly do another ride with this company soon!! Thank you very much to the team and Uri& Fatjon in particular for their support and encouragement!!
