The people he introduced us to are all lovely people and the experience is beyond words. It was a memory that we will cherish forever. Thank you!

5.00This is a mist do activity if you are visiting! My adult daughter and I spent a few days at the coast. This was a great experience of local culture and history. Visiting the authentic home in the hills/country was more than we expected! Peter answered every question we had and taught us so much more about the history of Montenegro. The monasteries were enlightening and the small winery was run by a fabulous host. We learned so much about the everyday life of the locals.

5.00For those who don't like to follow the crowds and prefer an experience over a guided coach tour then this is for you. From the point of booking, Petar kept in contact to keep us informed of when & where we would be picked up (which was just outside our hotel) & was very accommodating in changing the date when one of us wasn't well enough to go on the date booked. From the point at which he picked us up late afternoon in his air conditioned car (small but comfortable & nippy on the mountain roads!) he delivered information in a friendly & informative way, happy to break off and answer any questions we had. Be prepared for a 10-15 minute walk to reach the fortress at the first stop on some uneven ground but this is offset in the knowledge that you are following one of the oldest trails in the country & the stop provides fantastic views over Budva. The monastery stop at an orthodox church is a haven of peace and tranquility & again stunning views. We then headed down to meet Rajco who is the ultimate host & while his English is limited, Petar happily translates to make sure that all are involved in the conversation, which flowed for the couple of hours we spent there. Rajco's obvious love for the land comes out in his own freshly produced smoked ham & the homegrown salad vegetables, red wine & raikje that accompanied it. A true taste of Montenegro hospitality at its' best, can highly recommend.
Wonderful evening!

5.00If you’re looking for something with a personal touch then this is an unmissable experience. Our guide Petar told us a huge amount about Budva and Montenegro. We visited two monasteries, unique in their tranquility and spirituality and arrived at Rajko's home. Rajko is a wonderful host and a truly lovely man. He provided a delicious meal with his fantastic red wine from his own vineyards. The conversation while watching the fantastic views and tasting Raiko's amazing rakia was wonderful. Thank you Petar and Raiko for a wonderful evening!
Authentic experience in the Montenegro Mountains

5.00We absolutely loved this tour through Montenegro’s stunning mountains, and it was truly an experience to remember. From the breathtaking mountain vistas to the serene monasteries nestled among the peaks, every moment was filled with beauty and tranquility. However, the absolute standout was the lunch at our guide Petar’s cousin’s home deep in the mountains. It was a rare and authentic experience — a feast of delicious, home-grown food paired with a local wine. Sharing a meal in a genuine mountain home, surrounded by stunning scenery and warm hospitality, made the day truly special. Experiences like this are hard to come by and truly make a trip memorable. If you’re seeking authentic Montenegrin culture, breathtaking landscapes, and heartfelt hospitality, I highly recommend booking this tour. It’s a wonderful way to connect with the land and its people — don’t miss out!
Exceptional tour- do not hesitate to book!

5.00This was the absolute best experience I had in Montenegro- and my trip was filled with wonderful experiences. Petar was so nice and friendly and the two monasteries he took me to were beautiful- especially the second one! I had such a fun time with Petar and Rajko at Rajko’s home and Rajko’s hospitality, food, and wine were exceptional. If you want a unique, authentic experience with delicious food and wine, and people who immediately feel like old friends, this is the tour for you! You will not regret this tour and I will never forget my experience. Thank you Petar and Rajko!!
