“Christina was AWESOME! My friend and I loved her personality and how raw she was in sharing the history of Croatia, Bosnia, and Montenegro. It was great to chat with her, and we truly enjoyed all of the places she showed us, whether historic or little hole in the wall spots to grab a bite or coffee. 10/10 experience.” - Reviewed on 2025-02-19

That was an unpleasant bus tour, but the private tour with Cruiser Taxi is definitely the way to enjoy and get the most out of Montenegro. Personalized to your desires, avoiding the stench and crowds of a tour bus! Highly recommend this.” - Reviewed on 2024-10-10
