• Disappointing, misleading description. Scenery on the ride was amazing and Budva is worth visiting.

  This trip description was misleading. The scenery on the van trip was stunning, and the guide was very knowledgeable. However, if you want to go into the museum at Budva you must pay extra. The same happened in Stari Bar. While we could walk up to the site (among trinket shops and cafes), it cost extra to actually get in. We also thought we were going to a national park where we could walk around and view the lake. The suggested boat ride was "optional" but if you didn't pay the 20 euro to take the ride, there was no way to even see the lake nor were there any trails or anything to do. Once again, a few tourist shops and small cafes. The boat trip should be part of the excursion and the cost included in the overall price, or it should be mentioned that you will be left for an hour with nothing to really see or do, if you don't take the boat ride. "Admission ticket free" was not totally accurate for all the experiences at the listed locations.

  Tour Review: Day Trip from Bar, Montenegro I took a day tour from Bar, Montenegro, expecting to see Shkodra Lake and Budva. While Montenegro’s landscapes are beautiful, the tour itself felt rushed and poorly planned, with not nearly enough time at each stop to actually enjoy or explore them. The guide arrived late, and there was little overall organization or communication. Restroom stops were never clearly planned or announced, so we had to ask on the spot, which added to the chaotic feel. The vehicle was an older, squeaky van that was overloaded and had no seatbelts. This was noticeable on the winding mountain roads to Shkodra Lake, where long stretches had no guardrails. Safety-wise it was okay, but the ride wasn’t comfortable. At Shkodra Lake, if you didn’t pay extra for the boat ride, there was essentially nothing to do — just a quick look around before getting back on the van. The stop felt pointless without the optional activity. Budva was the biggest letdown time-wise. After rushing off for a restroom, we had only a very short window (maybe 15–20 minutes) to walk through the old town or look at souvenirs before being called back. We barely scratched the surface. The tour also skipped the advertised photo spot entirely — the driver simply passed it by without stopping, ignoring the itinerary. Overall, the tour gave a surface-level glimpse of some nice places, but the lack of time at each location meant you couldn’t really experience or enjoy them. Better planning, a more reliable vehicle, and realistic stop durations would make a huge difference. I wouldn’t choose this operator again.

  We had the most amazing tour around Montenegro with Andro. From Budva to a boat trip around Lake Skadar and Stari Bar, every stop was fascinating, beautifully planned, and full of history. Andro was the most knowledgeable guide we have ever had, and his warm, professional approach made the day feel truly special. The car was extremely comfortable, and his restaurant recommendation was outstanding… we absolutely loved it! We couldn’t recommend Andro’s services more highly for anyone looking for an unforgettable way to experience Montenegro. 😊

  

  

  

  

  

  

• The stay at Lake Skadar...

  The stay at Lake Skadar is not long enough as the boat trip is around an hour, but the stay is only 75 minutes. This does not leave enough time to walk from the bus, buy tickets, take the trip and return to the bus. This then reduces the time to spend in Stari Bar. Otherwise a good trip. Would recommend Budva for a visit.

• Great small group private tour

  Our day with Royal Services Montenegro was fantastic. Our driver and guide, Dejan Golubović, was highly professional and knowledgeable, making our private tour from Bar to Budva, Skadar Lake, and Stari Bar completely seamless. It was a fun, worry-free experience for our group of four, and we’d definitely recommend Dejan for anyone visiting the area.

  Our guide, Jelena, offered an excellent tour of Montenegro, showing us the history, nature and culture of the country. We had ample time at each stop to explore, and Jelena offered alternative activities at each location.

  Was ok, but not enough time at the first or last stops, felt too rushed. At the middle stop for the lake there should be an alternative to going on the boat - maybe arrange a wine tasting with the restaurant that advertised their wine cellers? There is no time to eat and see the attractions - if you eat at old Town there is not time to actually walk up and see the ruins. It is give a nice overview of the islands geography.
