Worth prioritizing - Our guide Dragan was very helpful and knowledgeable. We had a nice trip to his village where we got to taste the family's home-made hams, liqueurs and wine. Highly recommend this tour.

Travelling with a local…the only way to go! - Booking a trip with Dragan was our best decision on holiday. Dragan was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. We learnt so much in a short amount of time. Dragan is, rightly passionate about his country and it’s history. Nothing was too much trouble, we travelled at our own pace. We were made to feel welcome and special instantly, and this continued as we sampled prosciutto made in their family home.
We would have no hesitation in recommending spending time with Dragan. Book a tour today, you won’t regret it!

Hire Dragan and Golden Bay Tours to Experience Montenegro Culture - My wife, parents, and I hired Montenegro Golden Bay for tours on three out of the five days that we stayed in Budva, in addition to the transfer from Podgorica and the transfer to Mostar. Dragan and his crew provided excellent service and created customized tours based on our interests. This tour being reviewed was our favorite, as it showcased wonderful scenery of Montenegro as well as allowed us to visit Njegusi, a local village outside of the main beaches of Montenegro. Dragan provided many tales and insights about living in Montenegro and culture.

Wonderful afternoon - We were a party of four from a cruise ship and had researched this tour before we left and purchased this online. So glad we did! Our tour driver who is the son from the family that live in the village of Njegusi picked us up in a very comfortable van at the port. We then headed up the serpentine road to the top! All the way there he gave us the history of the area, himself and his family. We stopped for pictures along the way which were breath taking. Once we arrived in the small village we arrived at his fathers smoke house and distillery. A tour of the smoke house were they cure the most delicious prosciutto was very interesting. We sampled the prosciutto with homemade bread and their homemade moonshine ( what we call it in the states) and wine. The family was happy to see us and were very hospitable. The drive back down the mountain was as beautiful as the way up. You can't go wrong with this tour. It was one of our fondest memories of our cruise.

Great time with Dragan - Dragan did an excellent job showing us his community. He took us on a panoramic road trip around Boka Bay-25 curves-amazing photo opportunities. Family home where we enjoyed smoked prosciutto, cheese, homemade wine and rakuja (homemade brandy) Dragan shared fascinating facts about the lifestyle plus able to enjoy Montenegro countryside. Thank you Dragan for a wonderful tour of Njegusi.
