Reviews of Small Group tours to Montenegro
- Montenegro Road Trip Nature and Alpine Peaks 5 Days Adventure
I went on this tour with my family using the Indie4x4 app and it was so much better than I thought it would be!! The app is really easy to use and the sights were incredible. Thank you Medraft so much for such a fun tour!
- Semi-Private Day Tour of Montenegro: Budva & Kotor from Tirana
This trip was really great. Eraldo, a skilled and friendly driver, made it even more enjoyable with his social and happy demeanor, turning the journey into a fun experience despite the traffic and steep roads. Budva and Kotor are stunning, with beautiful mountains and picturesque landscapes. It was truly an amazing trip.
- Comfortable Montenegro Discovery
Montenegro was a beautiful country and having a private guide was an awesome way to experience many parts of it. Bogdan was a calm and competent driver on the steep and winding roads, and shared restaurant recommendations and anecdotes about the country, as well as some laughs with us. We had the good fortune to accept an offer to switch our last two nights to Cetinje, a beautiful town that it was great to explore as it was very different from Budva, which we also very much enjoyed. There were too many beautiful parts of the tour to list and if anything, the agenda is overly ambitious, but we were able to discuss and scale back and make sure we still saw what we most wanted. The one thing I'd mention that was a surprise to us was how unbelievably crowded Kotor and the Ostrog Monastery were. All our other adventures were MUCH more relaxed.
