We are wanting a private tour through Montenegro and Croatia finishing in Split. 2 - 3 days in Montenegro and 4 - 5 days through Croatia. Can you help?

We do operate exclusive group tours but they are based on an existing trip, itinerary and date and usually for groups of 5 or more.

Is there free time on the tour for swimming and exploring on our own a bit?

The first and last day of the tour are for your arrival and departure so depends of your flights` time you will have a free time. Also according to the program you have a short excursion on the Day 5 and then a whole day for exploration the town by yourself.

Can you please provide the detailed itenary and level of elevation hiked each day .Also what level of fitness is required for the hike?

What is the grade of the hike is it easy or medium ?

The main walk in Montenegro was great, hot but worth it, with great views on both sides from the ridge. Kotor Bay and Kotor town were lovely with relatively few tourists (much better than Dubrovnik). Korcula island was also a highlight. The sea everywhere was wonderfully clear (not like the UK!). It would have been nice to spend more time on Korcula though I'm not sure how this could be managed in the time available and with restrictions on boat crossings etc.Show more
