Great day - We had a great day and the tour really takes you through 75% of the country. You must like bus tours though and not have motion sickness as Montenegro is very mountainous. Tour guide was ver knowledgeable and friendly.

Montenegro away from the beach - Lots to see, Montenegro away from the beach. Bit too much time on the bus. Good guide. Great for an overview of the things you can do in the National Parks

Good but quite tough trip - In general it is a good trip, but there are things that make it a bit tough: - it takes 13 hours (without taking into account another 2 hours as a pick up time) - the tour is bi-lingual, the guide is telling the same information twice, for me it was a bit too much - places for coffee breaks and lunch - I personally did not like them, would be nice to have stops with more options.

Limited options in Montenegro - The pickup was late (which seems to be a thing). Couldn't hear the guide over the bus and road noise most of the time. However, with limited options as a solo traveler in Montrnegro, this tour give you the opportunity to see the mountains. The mountain roads are scary - and I wouldn’t drive that myself 😂😂

Beautiful scenery, below average tour guide - This tour takes you to some beautiful sights in Montenegro but maybe tries to cram too many things over a wide area which results in a very long tour. Our tour was also made 2+hrs longer due to a road closure. The time on the bus outweighs the time spent at stops. We seemed unlucky with our tour guide compared to the reviews. He more interested in talking to the bus driver (who took multiple phone calls while driving). While knowledgeable about certain aspects of the tour it would have been good to hear more about Montenegro during the lengthy quiet spells. He was understandably very firm about being prompt on returning to the bus on time but failed to adhere to this himself and was 3-5mins late on at least two occasions. The stops were poor- there was insufficient time to queue for both the toilets and the food or drink and the quality was poor. The tour guide prioritised feeding and watering himself. Lunch was excellent although somewhat expensive (15 euro for pork and potatoes) Would not recommend if you have children- it was a fairly difficult travel wise.

Everything was nice only... - Everything was nice only ‎‏I wanted to make a complaint about the tour guide. When we arrived at the black lake, he told us to return at 3:50 pm. I was there before that time, I was there near the lake but I could not find anyone. I walked a little, then I returned to the same place, and there was no one so I tried to communicate with one of your staff to send me the tour guide number, I contacted him. He told me that we should have returned to the bus. I told him that I waited for you next to the lake and I did not find you, then he me the location was in front of me about 20 minutes walk and with all rudeness he told me that we can't wait for you because you are late ‎‏When I arrived, I told hi that you should make sure that all passengers were present. We should go back together to the bus he told me that you are supposed to go back alone to the bus. I told him the place is far away, and he told me to stay there then 😡 ‎‏he should be responsible and more polite to visitors if he wants to be tour guide because the thing he did it’s not professional at all

Beautiful Durmitor Day Trip, cut short - Don't get me wrong. The location is absolutely beautiful! The whole mountain park of Durmitor is really special. The mass tourism didn't catch it yet! I would visit it again when I am in Montenegro! Be aware of the roads, they are horrible. But that was not the reason of my 3 star review. The day trip promises 13 hours. On every location we were a considerably shorter time. Our day trip was around 10 hours. We didn't have a dinner with a view in Nikšić, we were at a weird souvenir station for 20 min and the Ostrog monastery was so far away it seemed as a white spot in the mountain. The guide was okay, especially as he has to tell every story in English and Russian.

Never again - The excursion destinations themselves were beautiful and worthwhile. Unfortunately, these were overshadowed by the fast and dangerous driving style of our driver. What a driver can do wrong, I do not want to mention at this point. If you book a tour like this, you should be aware beforehand how in the worst case the car is driven in Montenegro. For me it was a traumatic experience and we wouldn't go on a tour like this anymore. Our lives and the lives of everyone else on the bus are far too precious for that.
