Tour Overview
Once part of Yugoslavia, Serbia has been forgotten for years and, to our advantage, still does not attract the large numbers of tourists that its better-known neighbours do. During this varied week you'll discover ancient spa towns, taste traditional Balkan fare, indulge in Turkish baths, discover waterfalls, monasteries and caves and meet the friendly Serbian people who genuinely delight in meeting foreign guests. Travelling by bike we'll use a network of back-roads and small tracks to really get to know this undiscovered part of the world.
