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.

We really enjoyed our day with Tamara seeing some amazing sights. There was history, there were mountains, there were stunning views, there was good coffee, there was great food in a beautiful plaza by a cathedral, there was beer on the beach (in February!) and as the sun started to set she whisked us up the mountain to capture the sunset. A fabulous day that we all enjoyed. I had no idea that Kotor Bay viewed from the mountains would be quite so breathtaking and Tamara knew all the best places to stop the car for the most lovely views. Neither did I expect the weather to be nice enough to sit on the beach at Budva and have a beer to end the day - I think Tamara must have read my mind as I had spotted the beach bar from a view point she had taken us to! Travelling in February means no queues, no cars or tourist buses blocking the road and no-one getting in the way of the shot at the viewpoints - there's a bonus to travelling off-season! Tamara said that in summer there's no 'down' time on the tour as it takes longer to get everywhere, with the narrow mountain roads busy with tourist traffic. We enjoyed it much more at the pace where we could take time to enjoy the things we were seeing and have a chat with Tamara over coffee. Being winter, it did mean that there were a couple of places we couldn't visit, but i don't think we missed out at all as we had longer to do the stuff we really wanted. It's a great tour and Tamara was fun and knowledgeable and a lovely guide to spend the day with.
