  • Self Guided Montenegro Hiking Adventure: The Bay of Kotor and Lake Skadar off the beaten path trails reviewer 1
    · October 29th, 2024
    Very well organised tour with attentive hosts and guides, and stunning beauties of Montenegro. I liked how all is well thought of - food, accommodation, routes, local experience… It is a stunning way to meet the mountains of Montenegro but at the same time - to meet the local lifestyle and habits. A warm recommendation from my end.

    If you're thinking about cycling or hiking in Montenegro 3e Travel Montenegro are the ones to go with. We did a last-minute hiking tour and we had a blast. The team at 3e was super helpful and kept us in the loop every step of the way. They customized the itinerary to fit exactly what we wanted to see and do, which was awesome. The accommodations were cozy spots with delicious breakfasts. We had a phone, maps, trail apps which made the trails easy to navigate. We also had on-demand drivers to help us out in case of any emergency. What and epic trip. Cheers to unforgettable adventures!

    Our recent self-guided hiking trip in Montenegro was a fantastic experience, and the logistics were flawless thanks to 3e Travel. The entire trip ran smoothly which was all due to the professionalism and attentiveness of the team. They were incredibly accommodating to all of our requests, making the adventure stress-free and thoroughly enjoyable. Dražen, in particular, was always there for us, offering help in many ways. We can't thank the team enough! Montenegro’s beauty was truly enhanced by their exceptional service. Highly recommended!"
