Welcome to the best adventure tour for the last few years in Montenegro.
We will embark on an adventure that was created for true explorers who would like to learn about Montenegro's tradition, culture, history, and spectacular landscapes.

Personally, this tour is also one of my all-time favorites.
It's one of the most relaxing & easy-going private tours for this part of my beautiful country.
We will have the opportunity to explore multiple interesting sights both near the sea in the South, in Kotor, and in the highlands (Lovcen mountain) as well as the central part of the country in the area of Skadar Lake, in a relatively short period of time.

Some of the magical places we will explore on this tour:

Old Austro-Hungarian road with 25 serpentines,
Lovcen mountain with mausoleum,
Cetinje Old Royal Capital of Montegro,
Skadar lake with Pavlova strana & River town,
Viewpoint to Budva riviera and St. Stefan island & many more. . .
