St. Vasily Ostroški is known as the Saints Wonderman. Believers of all religions from different parts of the world visit this monastery in large numbers, and for the citizens of Montenegro, it is the greatest sanctuary.

Today it is a women's monastery. Not far from Podgorica, on the road to Bar, in the caves that have been built for many years, merging with the natural environment and hidden from the eyes of passers-by, is the monastery Dajbabe, dedicated to the Assumption of the Virgin.

Budva is a must see for anyone traveling in the region. Its an "old town" with a wonderful past. The night time entertainment in the city is great too but start your day with a city tour. Its worth the cost and will blow your mind...or just boggle it.

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.

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!

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!
