Really enjoyed it. Kotor and Budva are beautiful. Picked up from the hotel, the driver/guide was very good and knowledgeable, I forgot his name otherwise I would personally praise him. I would recommend the trip. The price of it I thought was fair. 2 hours in each of the above towns is just enough to have a quick look round and visit a few buildings.

On this trip you will have a chance to visit Ostrog monastery, the most important pilgrimage site in Montenegro. One of the most popular attractions away from the coast, is situated in central Montenegro. On your way to the monastery, you will have some great photo opportunities above Boka Bay, and near Slano Lake. You will spend some time with your guide in the monastery, before proceeding to Skadar Lake NP. Rijeka Crnojevića is a hidden pearl of Montenegro. The visit was planned as a set of activities: one-hour boat ride, walk through the  nature areas over there, and taking photos of, by the most of my tourists, most beautiful nature sight in Montenegro. It’s also planned to have a lunch in the fish restaurant whose offer is based on a tasting of local fish specialties (fish soup is great;)) and of course, the inevitable Montenegrin wines made from the finest varieties of grapes from this region.

Inclusions: Licensed guide with great local knowledge, Private transportation by modern cars, vans or minibuses., Llunch with drinks, Boat ride on Skadar lake, Hotel/port pickup and drop-off, Bottled water, Alcoholic Beverages

Exclusions: Gratuities, Souvenirs

I booked this trip via their website and asked for the day trip to the Ostrog Monastery on 15th September. As this was a day out I thought the price very reasonable, considering the current situation, so we had the guide to ourselves! Igor collected us at our apartment and brought us back to the apartment afterwards. Igor is most pleasant, funny and extremely knowledgeable, regarding the history of Montenegro. It is obvious that he is passionate about history and he told us all the stories and legends of all the places that we passed along the way. When we mentioned where we had been and where we were going, he volunteered additional information regarding things to look out for, which he didn't need to do. The monastery itself is magnificent and a lot of the traditions were explained to us and we spent most of our time at the upper monastery, which was built into the rockface! On our way back to Kotor we stopped at a traditional restaurant, where we had knuckle (knee) of beef and lamb cooked the traditional way. This was accompanied by a traditional salad and washed down with homemade wine, which was delicious. Just by the way, lunch is not included in the tour and we were taken there because our conversation about where we had been turned to food and Igor asked if we would like to stop for a late lunch. If you love history and local traditions then this trip is for you!

Very exciting and interesting tour that keeps you on your toes and keep wanting you more of it! Tanja was a blast and I could go with her anywhere in the world as a tour guide, she is absolutely amazing and a great host. The lake and the bay are amazing and there is so much to explore. I have enjoyed every second of the trip. Budva is beautiful and Lovcen is magical! Food and wine were perfect and the winery was charming, with very pleasant staff, and great service. I expected a lot from Montenegro but this trip gave me so much more, thank you Montenegro Wonders for this great experience and so much efort to make this trip unforgettable.

Through centuries many empires came to Montenegro and many succeeded in conquering it. No wonder why there are still remains of different architectural styles standing today still. On this tour, we will guide you through stories and places that have that little “something”. Our first stop is the Old royal capital of Cetinje. It’s a living postcard with small houses, museums and a monastery from the 15th century. The next stop is, Budva old town, the simple must-see spot in Montenegro visited by all travelers but popular for locals also. Kotor old town is a medieval town with a history dating from over 1000 years B.C.Since 1979 the Kotor old town is on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. On the way back we will do a photo stop above St. Stefan island, the former fishing village situated on a peninsula today is visited by Holywood stars and Royal families Skadar Lake and visiting Virpazar town once was the main marketplace of the area but today the main spot in National Park Skadar Lake.

I didn't have any expectations regarding Krujë, but the national museum Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu inside the castle felt very epic and turned out to be one my favorite ones so far in Albania. It amazes me how knowledgeable Andi is about everything you ask him, even specific details! We adjusted the itinerary a little bit on my request, which is always convenient if you're running out of time.

My heart is full of the gratitude for the amazing experience! Pava and Slavko did their best to provide me with the perfectly customized tour. Despite COVID-related restrictions and public holidays (I travelled to Montenegro in this early January) I visited a lot of interesting towns, museums and art galleries. When some place turned out to be closed because of the new restrictions Pava and Slavko would promptly found some other interesting nearby attraction. The culmination came while visiting the Lady of the Rock church. Especially for me Slavko managed to call the only employee and he kindly interrupt his Christmas holiday to provide us with the boat and sail to the island. He opened doors and I couldn't believe my eyes seeing all this rich and beautiful interior. No shortcomings, no regrets, no fail: again, my experiences were only positive.
