A delightful journey sets off first to Zabljak Crnojevica, where we’ll explore the abandoned fortress of the Crnojevici royal house. After, our expedition leads us to discover wild horses and soak in the splendors of the Bisevina savanna. We then carry on to the hamlet of Virpazar and Fort Besac, relishing a coffee whilst admiring picturesque Skadar Lake within the Fort. Our journey proceeds along the scenic route surrounding Skadar Lake, taking a brief halt at the Macalov Brijeg viewpoint. Not too far from here lies the age-old Montenegrin settlement of River Crnojevica village, distinguished by its Old Bridge, symbolic restaurants and historic past. A brief stroll around the village ensues, after which we move on to marvel at the River Crnojevica from Pavlov viewpoint, known as one of the best viewing spots the nation offers.

Wonderful trip - fabulous scenery - Wonderful day out with Ivan. Learnt so much and saw the unseen parts of Montenegro. Highlight was the winery - the owner spent a lot of time explaining his wines and they tasted amazing! Great scenery at every corner and just a really interesting trip.

Fabulous tour - Marko was absolutely fabulous and very accomodating. The tour was great, and the viewpoint that we got taken to was breathtaking. The winery that we visited at the end of the tour was beautiful and was owned by the loveliest family. Overall just a great tour, we saw so much and learnt so much about Montenegrin history and culture. Would absolutely recommend, this tour was must.

Hidden Montenegro - Great locations, many of the places we went to we wouldn't know about. The guide Marco was very knowledgeable and spoke very good English.
