Fun, friendly and knowledgable guides. Amazing locations. Local experiences. What more could you want! I did a 3 day V.I.P tour with Pavle, who was an incredible guided and helped me understand Montenegro like a local. He was a great person to explore with and it felt like we were traveling as friends together, rather than just in a tour group. I love the local travel philosophy Nomad is sharing, and highly recommend them to anyone seeking a more culturally immersive experience.

We did not have a direct bus line to a ski resort in Kolasin, so we chose this operator in order to transfer us there. There were 7 of us, two families, 3 teens in a minivan which was really comfortable. The driver offered us some snacks, and the kids liked it. All in all, a short and safe drive to Kolasin and Bjelasica mountain. We used the same service on our way back to Podgorica airport.
