Highly recommend - Great tour. Saw some beautiful spots. Could have skipped the church at the end as it was a long way up and only ok, but it does have important cultural significance so depends on your preferences

Go North in Montenegro! - This was an excellent way to get to northern Montenegro. Nadja was our guide, and she did an excellent job explaining the history of the country and details on all the places we were visiting. There is an opportunity to do a zip line, which is really fun, and good breakfast and lunch stops along the way. It is a long day, so be prepared for that, and also be prepared to pay with cash at various meal stops and the zip line. We were very impressed with 360 Monte

Amazing day trip to the north - We had a great day with Nadja the guide which was fantastic. Very friendly and professional and extremely knowlegable. She was awesome. The views were breathtaking and all the spots the tours stops at are great. Very much worth the long drive. Dormitor mountains are beautiful and the black lake too. Best thing to do in Montenegro.

Long day but worth it - Very well organised company.
You pay on the day at the office in kotor old town.
Our driver & guide was nadia , ( excellent driver).
She was very friendly & clear in her explanations.
It is a extremely long day but wirth it to see the black lake & monastery.
Just wished we had longer at the monastery as we got 30mins & was expecting 45mins , so i felt slightly rushed to take it all in , & have a loo break as well.
The company is professional & nadia is amazing guide & outstanding driver especially on those mountain roads.

Don’t sit on back seat! - A long day but great to see north of the country. The back seat of the minibus had no side windows so couldn’t see much of the countryside. Guide was great but difficult to hear over the noise of the engine and air conditioning. Would be better if he had a microphone

Tour experience 22/10/2025 - Positives:
Comfortable mini bus with USB charging points too.
Ostrog monastery is a very good place to visit.
Journeying through the North Montenegrin countryside and mountains was a good experience.
Black lake was so beautiful, in the backdrop of the mountains and the coniferous trees, and the mist in the air. If only there was more time to explore it.
Negatives:
The guide Slavos didn't really seem interested in being as descriptive as another guide Davor (who does the Great Montenegro tour with the same tour company). Didn't seem too keen to answer questions about the places. Seemed as if he was doing us a favour by doing so. And he would turn his face away and answer in monosyllables. Very insulting. He should take a leaf out of Davor's book and be a bit more proactive about the rich history of the country, especially for foreigners visiting the place for the first time. For the lady of the rocks viewing and some bits of the Ostrog monastery- information was given AFTER visiting the places. Instead, he could have given the relevant information (including when was the monastery built, which we had to ask him) about the places just prior to arrival.
Could have spent more time/arrived early at the black lake (in Durmitor national park)- only the larger part of the lake could be covered, not the smaller, deeper part. No other site is covered in the park. (Taro canyon was covered before entering the actual park). Only 30 minutes were given for exploring the lake. The remaining 30 minutes were for lunch. Something for the tour operator to ponder about in the future. It doesn't make sense to separately pay the entry fees to the national park (5€ per person) and just spending 30 minutes exploring one location only.
The guide mentioned that the time for the monastery would be 20-25 minutes (tour description said 45 mins). Everyone got back on time on the bus, and we only left the place after waiting 10-15 minutes in the minibus (while he was talking on the phone). Could have instead given more time at the monastery.
Overall, I would suggest that if you do wish to do this tour with the 360 Montenegro company, please clarify who shall the guide be on the day; and preferably avoid the tour if Slavos is going to be your guide (to have a knowledgeable experience).
