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

Tour was amazing, tour guide Andro who is also an owner of the tour company was fantastic. It was raining really bad during our tour he took us to a cafe to wait for rain to pass a bit and after he tried to fit everything in for us to have best experience. He was on time and was flexible with time because our cruise was a little late on time originally schedule for a tour. He made sure we were happy and wanted my kids and I to go places we wanted and answered all the questions we had plus had such a great knowledge of the history of the region. Made my girls and I fall in love with Montenegro thanks to Andro. I highly recommend this tour you will be highly satisfied! If I could give it 10 stars I would!

An excellent tour of three wineries in the Lake Skadar region. The tour guide, Misko, is extremely knowledgable as a wine maker himself and the owner of the third winery on the tour. All three wineries are family run and tastings are in a very welcoming environment. Good wines and good views, highly recommended.

Panoramic road along the lakes, through small picturesque villages, through the black pine forest whose grandiose trees, up to 50 m in height, withstand a full 400 years we will reach the highest inhabited town on the Balkans, Zabljak. Well known as the "Montenegrin eyes" the Black Lake is the biggest and the most beautiful of 17 lakes in the Durmitor National Park. A short walk to the lake and maybe moderate hiking along the marked trails and snacks in the bar on the shore, will give you pleasure and refreshment for the whole day. After the break, we continue, giving Durmitor a chance to convince us that its beauty is not over. Tara river has the deepest canyon in Europe. The Đurđevića Tara Bridge provides a unique view of the fast river and the surrounding nature. Let's not forget to mention the Zip Line- the most beautiful view of the bridge if you dare to "fly" from one side to the other.(not included) On the way back - panoramic ride on the edge of the Morača River Canyon.

Inclusions: Private transportation, All Fees and Taxes

Exclusions: Souvenirs, extra activities and food/snacks, Zip line

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.

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.

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!
