This is a prearranged transport only to Budva for tour on your own, photo stop for Sveti stevan, then ride back to Kotor. Do not expect any information from the driver about any of the places you visit. The driver will meet you outside the port. I was disappointed no information was provided

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.

You are going to explore one of the most interesting adrenaline attraction in Montenegro. Canyon Skurda is hidden in the place that no one would expect. Tour starts from Old town Kotor, just behind Kotor walls. At the beginning you would have to hike for 1 hour to come at the starting position for canyoning. We would adjust your equipment and prepare you for abseil. In the canyon you would enjoy in spectacular shapes of rocky cliffs and waterfalls up to 25 meters. Canyon has a lot of challenges like crossing slippery rocks, jumping to the pools or swimming and rappelling down the rope. Canyon is available for passing all the time, in the summer the water stays just in the pools, but in rest of the year it has big waterfalls. Water in the pools is not much cold in the summer, so you need just light clothes, but when is a big water we give you neoprene suite. Passing trough the canyon is about 3 hours and it ends up just behind Kotor old town. This would be unforgettable attraction. 

Inclusions: Bottled water, Snacks, Helmets, dry bag, rappelling equipment and neoprene suite, , Photos and video , Canyoning guide

Everything was just perfect. The guide showed up right on time and was very friendly and knowledgeable, the tour covered every angle of the beautiful bay, lunch options plentiful, and the workout was great (nothing too difficult). At the end of the tour, you’ll feel like you’ve really gotten to know the bay well, and your body will say “thank you”!

Through centuries many empires came to Montenegro and many succeeded in conquering it. No wonder why there are still remains of different architectural styles standing today still. On this tour, we will guide you through stories and places that have that little “something”. Our first stop is the Old royal capital of Cetinje. It’s a living postcard with small houses, museums and a monastery from the 15th century. The next stop is, Budva old town, the simple must-see spot in Montenegro visited by all travelers but popular for locals also. Kotor old town is a medieval town with a history dating from over 1000 years B.C.Since 1979 the Kotor old town is on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. On the way back we will do a photo stop above St. Stefan island, the former fishing village situated on a peninsula today is visited by Holywood stars and Royal families Skadar Lake and visiting Virpazar town once was the main marketplace of the area but today the main spot in National Park Skadar Lake.

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 scheduled a private tour, as we came to Podgorica in the late afternoon hours, just checked in and rushed to the main square to meet our guide. Our friends told us not to expect much from Montenegro's capital. But this was a great way to get to know Podgorica! Ana, our guide was not only knowledgeable, but she also has a great personality and a huge sense of humor. It was hot, way too hot for September, we were told that Podgorica can be a frying pan in the summer. The tour explained many things from Podgorica's history and current life, but the real treat was to talk to Ana about her town, people, customs, religion, old ways and new ways... It was a two hours walking experience, as we had to stop and rest because of my cousin, and we had to sit and rest before continuing. At the end of the tour, we asked about nightlife, pubs, places to eat – and got a recommendation for the pub with craft beer, best traditional restaurants, and exquisite contemporary restaurant. The only regret – we found about the agency and Ana at the very end of our stay.

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.
