What To Expect
Shkoder
At the break of dawn, the tour begins our journey to the glorious Montenegro. We traverse the Northern region of Albania and make our way to the port city of Shkoder. This city is the beating heart of the North and proudly hosts the grandiose Rozafa castle, which stands atop a hill, embraced by two rivers and can be viewed in all its splendour during our coffee break before the frontier on the Buna River shores .
Sveti Stefan
Sveti Stefan is the enchanting islet of Montenegro located about 3 miles south of the city of Budva. Surrounded by the blue waters of the Adriatic and connected to the mainland by a thin strip of land, this is one of the most luxurious tourist resorts in Europe.

5.00We modified our trip to be let off in Kotor at the end of the tour, which was no problem. Our guide Skerdi was very friendly and told us everything we wanted to know both about Montenegro and Albania! Can definitely recommend if you want to experience southern Montenegro.
A lovely day in the beautiful Montenegro

5.00Our wonderful tour guide, Skerdi, was fantastic and showed us around the lovely cities of Kotor and Budva. He provided us with a lot of information about the places, recommended us a great restaurant for lunch, and was very accommodating with any needs/requests we had. A long drive, but I highly recommend this tour if you have the time during your trip.
LONG LIVE MONTENEGRO!

5.00Having to complete the visit of all European nations, Montenegro was one of the very few that were missing. I chose this tour starting from tirana to visit the most famous city, kotor, UNESCO city. The tour is very long, but my driving was impeccable. Kotor is a beautiful city, worth the trip. Budva has an ancient and intact old town. It is not easy to arrive by plane in Montenegro, starting from tirana was a great choice. The very good and professional organizers

Unforgettable Montenegro Adventure with Skerdi!

5.00I had a fantastic day trip from Albania to Montenegro, all thanks to Skerdi, my exceptional guide. Right from the start, Skerdi set a positive tone for the day by picking me up right on time at 7:00 am. The early start was ideal, as it allowed us to make the most of our day exploring the historic gems of Budva and Kotor. Skerdi was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the journey. His deep understanding of Montenegrin history, culture, and architecture brought each stop to life in a way that made the experience truly immersive. He knew just the right spots for photos and answered every question with genuine enthusiasm. You could tell he was passionate about sharing his knowledge. The whole itinerary flowed smoothly, with just the right amount of time at each stop, allowing us to experience everything without feeling rushed. Kotor, with its stunning views of the Bay of Kotor, was mesmerizing. Skerdi’s knowledge about its ancient walls and Venetian architecture made it even more special. Budva, although smaller, had a charm that was a refreshing contrast to Kotor, and Skerdi knew exactly how to showcase its highlights. The scenic drive between the cities was equally memorable, with breathtaking coastal views all along the way. In Kotor, we enjoyed lunch at a fantastic BBQ restaurant that served the most delicious platter of various grilled meats, pickled veggies, delightful dips (with just the right amount of spice), and chips. This day trip to Budva and Kotor is a perfect mix of history, culture, and scenic beauty, and with Skerdi as your guide, you’re in for an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

5.00I had Guilio as my guide. He was pretty cool, the tour loosely followed the itinerary and was filled with a historical lesson of Albania and the surrounding region. The weather was nice. He was punctual and got me back to Tirana on time. I would recommend this tour company and Guilio.
