Spin through the Balkans, enjoying great scenery, amazing food, incredible history & fascinating cultures
RIDERS AND STAFF
“I swam in the Adriatic, listened to the cuckoo in the forests of Bosnia, explored the ruins at Delphi. I learned about communism and bunkers in Albania, toured a tunnel from the war in Bosnia. It was an amazing experience that I am still digesting and discussing with my husband.”
“Life is all about collecting experiences. The TDA odyssey tour provides that in spades. Both challenging but also very rewarding. Do it!!”
