We have nothing but praise for this customized cycling trip. Everything was perfectly fine. The GPS routes were correct and we enjoyed the beautiful scenery, and the nice bike rides. The hotels were small in size and always had that little something extra: view of the lake, view of the monastery, … Moreover, we were received super friendly everywhere. Northern Macedonia and northern Greece are ideal cycling destinations and especially so with Eye4Cycling.
We took the 11-day cycling vacation through Northern Macedonia and Albania in mid-August 2019. A fantastic experience! Clear directions with practical tips and the GPS was also very handy!
It was a surprising trip every day, lots of natural beauty. Sometimes tough climbs and beautiful panoramas. And always exciting when we arrived at the next hotel, which by the way were fine. It was very hot though, sometimes above 40°C, exceptional for this region! The service after a defect in the e-bike was excellent. As far as we are concerned: highly recommended!
Vacation September 2016 Macedonia We have been back in the Netherlands for a few weeks now from a Walking and Cycling vacation in Macedonia. First, the 4 of us hiked for a week. We started in Ohrid and from there we got a transfer every 2 days to the following places: Vevcani, Lazaropole and last place Mavrovo. In each place we took wonderful walks in a WONDERFUL NATURE. All walks with their own character! The 12 day Cycling Vacation began on September 24 in Mavrovo, there we also met Simone, Raymond and the other cyclists. A nice group of 13 people. The bike routes were sometimes tough, sometimes on dirt roads but doable. How much we enjoyed Macedonia, what a fantastic green country with friendly people. And of course also (and certainly very important), the good organization of EYE4CYCLING. The bike rides with the lunches (cozy picnic). The carefully selected atmospheric hotels and last but not least, the perfect bikes! Everything was excellently taken care of by Simone and Raymond as usual. Both the hiking and biking vacations were PERFECT. Thanks. Jose, Jaap, Ton and Lia.
The Andalusia trip was wonderful. Good bikes! Beautiful route! Great hotels! Only the location of the last hotel was less: too far out of town. We had a nice group, puike tour guide and great weather. Add to that the delicious cuisine and the story is complete. Highly recommended! Little traffic on the roads and motorists were very careful with cyclists on the road.
Macedonia, highly recommended! A beautiful cycling country with climbs and many descents. Every day was promising and full of surprises. excellently organized by Raymond and Simone. Each bike ride was perfectly balanced with rest stops, picnics and lunch. It took us to many beautiful idyllic spots on different lakes with lots of greenery and flowers, waterfalls, monasteries, churches and orchards. Every day we were rewarded with a lovely little hotel with a nice atmosphere and friendliness, great food, wine and, of course, beer. The rest day in Ohrid was also enjoyable, very worthwhile. A town located right on the lake with lots of culture and stores, with a promenade full of terraces that still exudes tranquility. In short, a land that is still unspoiled. Finally, kudos to the organization of Raymond and Simone, knowledgeable, warm and cordial, Thanks for these great days! Lea and Hans
Group trip Ibiza (cycling trip) : HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!
This excellently guided trip can appeal to both the very athletic (regular bike) and recreational cyclist (e-bike). During day trips, enjoy the beautiful, peaceful landscapes and villages in the north of this island.
Guide: has excellent terrain knowledge and maintains a pleasant pace.
Hotel: good value for money.
Breakfast and dinner: sufficiently extensive and of good to very good quality.
Suitable cycling trip for the active senior (jagger).
In June, we went on a cycling vacation in Macedonia/Albania. In a word great!!! It is a very quiet and green country, with mostly good roads. The routes are varied; through the mountains with many trees, through the valley with beautiful flowers and lots of views. The accommodations were also very different, but all fine, especially Lakeview and Saint Naum. If you love biking and have a little fitness, it’s super fun!!!
We experienced the whole organization and personal guidance from Raymond as super good!!!
(And Ton very much enjoyed the mountain bike tour he took on a day off with Raymond and some Macedonian friends).
Thanks Raymond, and we are already looking forward to another trip!!!
For September 2018, we were looking for an individual cycling vacation of about 20 days in a beautiful area at the vacation fair. There were several providers, but none of them could offer it ready-made. At all the organizations, they had tours for shorter periods. It was possible to join several tours together, but we would pay for the organization and extra costs of bike changes, transportation and overnight stays. At Eye4cycling, they thought with us and planned a route from Macedonia to northern Greece. A period of 20 days with some (possible) rest days and an average of 60 km per day in partly mountainous terrain. We had to book the air travel there and back ourselves so we could pick the most favorable flights, although they were willing to mediate. After a few weeks, we decided to do this, because it was the best proposal. However, the return flight from Thessaloniki to Amsterdam would cost 180 euros more per person on the scheduled date than 3 days later. Within 1 day, Eye4cycling arranged for us to spend only 120 euros more for 2 people for 3 days longer stay at the last hotel. Now that’s service. All scheduled transits went exactly as scheduled. The first evening we arrived at the hotel in Ohrid at 10 p.m., but there was no problem at all in getting us another hot meal. The next morning the bikes were arranged. These were of excellent quality and rode lightly. We did not need the included emergency/repair kit, but it did make us feel safe. The navigation entered, except for one minor glitch, always took us to our next hotel without any problems. The route was, as we had hoped, variable in landscapes so that we could experience different nature each day. It was striking that we drove through beautiful valleys with almost uninhabited villages because young people prefer cities, or even better, the rich West. The hotels were also very diverse, but all of good quality. The quality of food and drink in both Macedonia and Greece are of good quality, especially Macedonia is very cheap. The 3 extra days in Thessaloniki were a wonderful addition in this historic city. We were so pleased with the organization that we offered to make a positive report on it.

Fine cycling trip. Not too heavy. Comfortable hotels, mostly with opportunity for swimming. Good bikes. I had never been to Macedonia before. It comes highly recommended. Beautiful rides through forests. Lake views. Beautiful monasteries. And the city of Ohrid is not called the “pearl of the Balkans” for nothing.
Another fantastic trip from Malaga via Ronda to Seville!
The first few days were a hilly course with many white villages built atop rocks along the way. The inhabitants of Setenil de Bodegas lived not on but in the rock houses; very beautiful.
One of the highlights was the VIA VERDE; a paved former railroad line descending via false flat. Then you can fully enjoy the beautiful views of the hills, while the route includes more than 20 former train tunnels.
