Budva is a must see for anyone traveling in the region. Its an "old town" with a wonderful past. The night time entertainment in the city is great too but start your day with a city tour. Its worth the cost and will blow your mind...or just boggle it.

We will drive past the beautiful coastline as we reach Budva, a popular tourist destination, famous for its beaches, gorgeous nature and old characteristic buildings. The city is separated between an old and new part. On the one hand, in the New Budva, there are many modern buildings, offices, shopping malls, restaurants and bars. On the other hand, in the Old Budva, there is the historical center and many sights to visit. Our second destination for today is Kotor, UNESCO world heritage city. The city is a maze of narrow, cobblestone streets crisscrossing the old town. The intention was to confuse intruders who came to plunder the town, while nowadays it characterizes the city. We will also walk to the San Giovanni fortress from which we will have an amazing view over the city.

Inclusions: Transport provided by the company, Professional tour guide, Hotel pick up in Tirana, Hotel drop off in Tirana, Entry tickets for the ‘’will be visited’’ sites , International car insurance, Tourist taxes, Road taxes, Petrol

Exclusions: Lunch, Drinks & Snacks, Souvenirs, Personal spending , Everything that is not mentioned in the included, * Tips are not a must in Albania or the Balkans, however, our recommendation is to tip the tour guide/driver 5 - 6 Euros per day/person , as an international practice to tip good service.

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.

We visited Dubrovnik in early May 2021; the COVID pandemic was still very much restricting tourism, which made the tours scarce and prohibitively expensive. Most operators were only conducting private tours which could cost up to 4 times the normal rates. Andrea, was positively keen in restarting tourism and went out of her way to tailor itineraries that suited places we intended to visit (which included some of the islands in Dubrovnik and some walking tours ) and matched it against other prospective participants to reduce cost and made the tours reasonably affordable yet very enjoyable. Andrea, was very informative on impending restrictions and helpful in facilitating PCR testing, border crossings and transfers. We wish Smile Dubrovnik all the best in the future. Thank you Andrea and Ivo for making our stay in Dubrovnik memorable.

Montenegro offers a lot of amazing things for couples, but believe me, this one is a must to do for sure. Petar showed great knowledge about oil production and actually everything else that we had questions about, and he was very patient (waiting for us to take pictures after every 2 meters). Time passes so fast on this tour, so we highly recommend it! Thank you one more time Petar, cheers!

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.
