Above the confluence are the barely visible ruins of the Ribnica fortress, known as Nemanjin grad, where Stefan Nemanja, the founder of the Nemanjic dynasty, was born. The tour will cross an old, charming stone bridge on the way to Stara Varos, the oldest preserved district of Podgorica, dating back to the Ottoman era.

Experience was great but ended quickly. I wished the tour was longer - The tour guide was very knowledgeable and a historian. He knew key historical facts about the people being discussed and artifacts.

Fantastic Private Guided Tour - Ana was a phenomenal guide and I learned quite a bit on this enjoyable walking tour. The meeting point was clearly communicated and Ana held a sign, so it was easy to locate her at the start of the tour. The tour route included several different parts of town and gave a fairly comprehensive overview of the city's history and culture. Ana was very knowledgeable and gladly answered my many questions. I also had many opportunities to take photos and we even had a chance to stop to taste rakija along the way. At the end of the tour, Ana provided several helpful recommendations for places to eat and other sites nearby I might want to visit. I would highly recommend this tour.

Walking Tour a must to appreciate Podgorica - We were not impressed with Podgorica as a town until Ana Zaric helped us appreciate Podgorica's buildings and history. She is an excellent guide with perfect English and we valued her local perspective. We would very much recommend this visit, even in the rain.

Very pleasant stroll around the capital. - The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and even though the city doesn’t have as many points of interest as a big city, it was a very pleasant tour.

Great tour with an amazing guide! - We scheduled a private tour, as we came to Podgorica in the late afternoon hours, just checked in and rushed to the main square to meet our guide. Our friends told us not to expect much from Montenegro's capital. But this was a great way to get to know Podgorica! Ana, our guide was not only knowledgeable, but she also has a great personality and a huge sense of humor. It was hot, way too hot for September, we were told that Podgorica can be a frying pan in the summer. The tour explained many things from Podgorica's history and current life, but the real treat was to talk to Ana about her town, people, customs, religion, old ways and new ways... It was a two hours walking experience, as we had to stop and rest because of my cousin, and we had to sit and rest before continuing. At the end of the tour, we asked about nightlife, pubs, places to eat – and got a recommendation for the pub with craft beer, best traditional restaurants, and exquisite contemporary restaurant. The only regret – we found about the agency and Ana at the very end of our stay.

Marvel in Montenegro - A swift walk around the old & new streets of Podgorica, with details of the history of Montenegro. It was very easy to talk to the man with the great beard - Slavko, he was great company, very knowledgeable. Tour ended at local restaurant ‘Lanterna’ where I tried out some local dishes.
