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

We start the tour by driving along the coast of Kotor Bay towards to town of Perast. After visiting Perast and the famous and only artificially island in the Adriatic sea, Our Lady of the Rocks, we go towards to the old town of Kotor. In the near vicinity of the Our Lady of the Rocks island which people ascended from the sea, lies Saint George Island (Sveti Djordje), the island of completely different nature and destiny... Kotor old town is a medieval town with a history dating from over 1000 years B.C. Montenegro is the beautiful country and you are lucky that you sailed into the port of Kotor especially because you can easily visit almost one-third of the country in only a few hours so if you have some extra time go ahead and ask your guide to show you more in this area.

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.

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.

This was a great tour, and our guide, Darko, was exceptionally knowledgeable. We would strongly recommend this tour. Our only issues were that we needed more bathroom breaks, and those in the backseat had considerable trouble hearing the guide while he was driving. Regardless, we would recommend this to all Montenegro travelers. Wear/take layers - can be chilly!

Had Slavko as our small tour leader, wonderful guy, very friendly and knowledgeable and is clearly proud of his country, which always makes for the best guides. Several hundreds of kilometers of driving, but it's a fantastic way to see a big chunk of Montenegro in a single day. Breakfast, lunch, coffee breaks, and plenty of photo stops along the way so you're never in the car for too long. First major stop is at the Tara River Canyon, the largest canyon in Europe, where it's possible to walk across the high bridge for fantastic views of the gorge below. You can also go ziplining here. Onward to Durmitor National Park and the absolutely stunning mountain scenery at Black Lake. Finally to the amazing Ostrog Monastery, built in the 17th century into a high vertical cliff. Bring extra camera batteries or a power bank for you phone because you will take a lot more pictures than you realize! :)

We booked a tour during COVID and as the trips abroad are difficult to plan, we had to change our booking last moment with Amico Tours. So instead of going to Montenegro / Kotor, we had to change the plan because of changed rules in our own country. Amico Tours did a wonderful job, especially Gabriel our tour guide. All worked out, we had a safe trip and honestly: Gabriel does know everything. So top and we would definitely go back to them again. As well: other tour companies did not offer any services during this time. Book with them, ask for Gabriel (he is the one to be your guide!) and you will be satisfied.
