  • Self Guided Cycling Highlights of Montenegro – From the mountains to the sea reviewer 1
    · November 3rd, 2024
    I was looking for a self guided cycling tour in Montenegro and I found 3e Travel. Traveling with a group of friends it was such a seamless experience. Borislav, the owner, was so easy to communicate with, making sure our trip was tailored to our preferences. From email exchanges to Skype sessions, he ensured every detail was covered, including airport transfers. Our driver was top-notch, going above and beyond to make our journey comfortable and safe. All the accommodations exceeded our expectations. We are planning more Balkan adventures and we are for sure going to use 3e Travel again and we would recommend them to anyone who is planning cycling holidays or a family vacation in Montenegro.
