It was a wonderful trip. Thanks to Marko for showing us
It was a long day, but well worth it. The guode never stopped talking and giving us information about Montenegro, she clearly loves her country. Shame we couldn't spend longer at some places though. 1hr at the lake is a bit misleading, the coach parked, we had a 20 mins walk to the lake, a 20 mins walk back, leaving 20 mins to swim and dry/change.
This is a fabulous way to see a good part of the country. It’s a long day but with lots of stops, it doesn’t feel too bad (until you hit the Budva rush hour traffic on your return). The lunch is really nice but at 20 Euros it’s quite a lot on top of the trip price and there are no alternatives (bring sandwiches). Liliana was a lovely guide with interesting historical tales. Loved the black lake swim! I feel we didn’t need the last stop but probably the driver did after a long day.
Although the price may seem unfair at first, it is an excellent long day with the right stops and the most perfect scenic journey. The views in the park were magnificent. Even more so was the excellent guide, Liliana, who did not miss a single detail. It was clear that she is very proud of her country and it made us feel proud of it too. She talked about history, geography, culture, and a bit of politics as well, most importantly she did it with enthusiasm!
A fab trip, with a long bus ride, but totally worth it. The tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable and funny!
This is a great way to see a lot of the beautiful country of Montenegro. Our guide Anastasia and our driver Nicola were great. I wished we had more time at the lake and some of the stops like the “breakfast” stop and the last coffee stop seemed unnecessary. I also wished that our guide had talked a little more about some of the history of Montenegro, particularly about the time of communism/Yugoslavia.
We went with Gardasevic and have to say the whole day was wonderful, guide was extremely informative driver was really good, good valve for what we see would recommend.
An excellent tour covering many highlights of Montenegro. Our guide Lilliana was brilliant, we gleaned so much information and knowledge from her about Montego, its people and history. In spite of it being a long day, we learnt so much from and our guide was fantastic.
It was very nice. The tourist guide was very informative and friendly. Like the bus driver. A very nice trip to the beautiful nature. Big thanks to them.
The tour has been very good, the guide, Viviana has been amazing, lots of information about the points travelled and Montenegro in general. I recommend the Park, the tour. It's very worth it.
