Montenegro Small Group Tours
Imagine sailing from spots like Bigova and Trsteno along Montenegro's coast, then heading inland to Kotor Fortress and Durmitor National Park's mountain peaks. The Bay of Kotor's fjord-like inlet contrasts beautifully with Durmitor's alpine terrain. This Adriatic country packs medieval coastal towns and mountain wilderness between coast and interior where fortifications meet serious peaks.

Reviews of Small Group tours to Montenegro
- 8 Days Montenegro Sailing Tour
I think my most memorable moment would be when we sailed on the gulet, and stopped by a small beach on one of the many bays in Montenegro. The water was so blue and the beach was so clean and sandy.
- Comfortable Heartland of Montenegro Trip
Montenegro is an underrated gem! The tour was perfect even though the weather wasn't at all times, but Borislav, our tour escort made sure we plan our day such that we make most of the sunny days as well as enjoy the rainy ones. The tour was well organized, well paced, communication was great and we were well taken care of at every step. We'd love to visit again someday cause 8 days isn't enough to explore this beautiful country!
