One of the best experiences ever! - Nino is a so good guide and an remarkable polite person. He has offered us a lot of interesting stories and so many places with terrible panoramas in this private day tour in Durmitor National Park and Tara Canyon. We have appreciated his high level of education and kindness. We had also a private half day tour of Skadar Lake, with a very fine wine tasting in a wonderful old village. Our hosts were very nice family and we liked very much their excellent wine. Made with soul!
We highly recommend Natour Montenegro travel agency andhis great owner. Thank you, Nino!
