A must do in Bar. Shore excursion

5.00We booked this as a tour excursion from a cruise ship landing in the port of Bar. We took a 30 minute cab drive through the mountain to get to the charming Village town of Virpzar. There’s a beautiful hotel at the top where you can go to the rooftop bar and take in panoramic fuse of Skadar Lake. You can also enjoy a really nice lunch and wine and any of the restaurants in this small town. The people are very welcoming and nice. I loved booking with King Fisher. They were very professional and put together. Our tour guide, Baki, a very friendly and knowledgeable young man who showed us all the beauty of Skadar Lake. He took us to the small fishing village two hours out. We climbed to the top for more views of the lake. On the way back, we stopped to swim. I would recommend trying to get more time for swimming as the water is wonderful. Very peaceful. Highly recommend booking this tour if you are on a shore excursion. Plan your time wisely. This takes a long time. Arranged with a cab driver to come back and get you. Cost should be about $100 round-trip.

5.00Fantastic day out on Lake Skadar on a private tour with Dragan our local guide. The desk staff were extremely helpful and brought the tour time forward to fall in line with our return travel arrangements, they even arranged a taxi to get us back to the railway station. Dragan was a super guide and was very attentive but not intrusive. He was happy to answer questions and slowed the boat when he saw us wanting to take pictures or if we spotted some wildlife. The lake and scenery were stunning. It was a great way to spend four hours. And the wine was good as well. Can't recommend this tour any more highly.
An absolute must-do!
