  • Ok tour but I wouldn’t repeat

    The tour was good and they brought us to beautiful places but it’s a LOT of driving for one day, especially if u come from Kotor. Also it felt very rushed cos they are trying to fit so much in one day. If you come from Podgorica it’s ok. Also it kind of felt like it was mainly a Russian tour they just sell it on Viator to fill up the spaces so just a heads up. Better if you stay in Durmitor NP to be able to spend more time there and do hiking.

  • A great day out in nature

    This was a brilliant trip and a great way to see some of the nature in Montenegro in a short space of time. It was great to have time at the Black Lake to walk around. The driver and guide were excellent, is was a long bus journey but the guide gave us a lot of interesting information about Montenegro throughout which was a great way to learn more about the country. One small improvement would be to update the intinery which says there will be a dinner with a view of Ostrog Monastery as we didn't do this.

    This is a good trip to do to see the north part of Montenegro and to get away from the beaches. We got picked up in Podgorica by the bus. The bus was already full as most people on the tour were already picked up at earlier stops. The bus first stops at a gas station just outside the city for people to use the restroom and get a small breakfast. Youre then taken to a historic monastery and let out for about 30 minutes. The monastery is beautiful and absolutely amazing. I wish more time was spent here. You’re then hurried back onto the bus and driven into the mountains were the bus makes one more stop at a small “wine” shop on the side of the road where you get 5 minutes to try and buy different local fruit wines. Back on the bus and you’re taken to a mountain lodge for lunch. The food is all handmade and is surprisingly good! You get to stop here for 45 minutes which is about all the time there is to use the restroom and eat. Back on the bus and you’re taken to Tara Canyon where you can zip line and walk across the bridge! Great views and an amazing experience! Loved this part of the trip. After about 30 minutes you’re back on the bus and headed to Black Lake. You get 1.5 hours to walk to the lake, have a quick swim (if you wish) and walk back. If you’re a fast walker, you’ll have about 30 minutes at the lake before you need to walk back to the bus. The walk/hike is beautiful and there are great views all around. The lake itself is amazing as well and I suggest going in for a quick dip. Back on the bus and we were taken back to Podgorica making one quick pit stop on the way back for a 10 minute break. Overall this is a good way to experience a different part of this beautiful country that is not the coast. The tour is very fast paced and a lot of driving. We felt like there was not a lot of time at each place to learn about it and to experience it other than taking pictures.

  • Very good experience

    It was all in all a very good experience,our tour guide,Natalia,was great. She even encouraged my mother to use the zip line with us. The swim in the black lake was very refreshing,although cold.
