Brilliant day out with great guides and food! - Fabulous day trip out to explore Northern Montenegro. Our tour guide Vera was amazing, very knowledgeable and also fun & very down to earth.
I have to mention the food stops on this tour, they were brilliant! Usually you get low quality high price tourist trap restaurants, but the 2 places we stopped at were really great quality and huge portions. The goulash lunch was delicious, although I had food envy looking at the lamb dishes!
There was plenty of time to hop on the zip line at the Tara Bridge & walk to the Black Lake in the National Park.
Highly recommend this trip with 360 Monte!

An awesome tour! - This was an awesome trip. The weather was perfect and the scenery was beautiful. Miley, our guide was great! He gave us great information and had a humerous and friendly personality which made the trip fun. The national park and black lake was sp peaceful and majestic. We were not rushed and had plenty of time at each stop. A must trip to see the beauty of Montenagro.

see 1/4 of Montenegro! - Great way to see montenegro plus our guide was just awesome! Having the breakfast and lunch preplanned during transit times helped a lot to maximise the more important parts of the tour

The other side of the bay - Sensational tour. Tour guide was experienced and delightful. Driver was fantastic. Loved the breakfast and lunch stops. Bucket list seeing and walking across Tara Bridge. Black Lake was fab and Ostrog Monastery (and the road up) was a huge surprise. Highly recommended.

No regrets. Do it. - As others have said, the 13 hours are quite daunting but the day absolutely flew by.
Milosh (apologies for spelling error) was our guide for the day and was excellent. He was so knowledge and passionate about his country and kept us all very entertained for the day with an amazing sense of humour.
We were a group of 17, with a huge variety in nationalities and we all bonded really well.
I am a “picky” eater and struggle a lot with anxiety about food but the options at breakfast and lunch were varied and I ate really well with a few snacks in between that I took myself.
The longest section of drive with no stops was approx 1hr 45 but the winding roads of Montenegro mean there is no way around this if you want to see the North. Our driver was incredible navigating the very narrow and steep roads in the mini bus.
Milosh was excellent at telling us which part of the drives we can nap in which was well needed after the 6am start.
I am so pleased I did this tour and have come away with memories and pictures to tell all my friends and family.
Do it. I promise you it’s worth it.

Just what I wanted - This was a great trip to see beyond the coast of Montenegro and did not disappoint. The natural beauty of the Black Lake (which was a gorgeous greeny-blue) and the Tara canyon was stunning. It was a privilege to arrive at Ostrog Monastry when a service was being held. We also really enjoyed breakfast at a lovely spot surrounded by fruit trees. The whole trip was brought alive by our excellent guide Nada (pronounced Nadja) who taught us so much about Montenegrin culture and the sights we were seeing. I learnt a lot and it really added to our experience in Montengro. Thank you!!!

Amazing viewpoints and places - I was part of a group who went to, durmitor national park, the monstary and other key look out points. We also had lovely local food that was really nice. I enjoyed visiting these places and our guide was very engaging. Even when it came to events that were out of his control (heavy rain and thunder, and accidents on the road), our guide made sure we were all looked after.
I would say though, be prepared for spending most of your trip in the mini van traveling from place to place.

Good day out - Got to do the Zip line at Tara with no effort and the drive was long and awkward. Other excursions good too so all in all worth the full day and money. Guide was entertaining and useful although would rather they not use mobiles when driving and should wear seat belt at all times not just when passing check points.
