- Sveti Stefan - The first stop today is Budva in Montenegro, with a pause near Sveti Stefan, a historically fishing village on a small island by the coast. Although the island is now an exclusive residential resort and not open for visits, it remains a stunning sight from the coast, perfect for a photograph.
- Budva - The journey continues to Budva, a well-known tourist spot, celebrated for its beaches, beautiful nature, and historic architecture. The city is divided into old and new sections. New Budva features modern buildings, offices, shopping centers, restaurants, and bars.
- Saint Ivan Church - In Old Budva, the historical center offers many attractions, including the St. Ivan church, the small church of St. Mary, and the medieval wonders of the old town, all of which are part of this tour.
- Kotor - The second destination today is Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The city is a labyrinth of narrow, cobblestone streets designed to confuse invaders, now a defining feature. Many old buildings and churches display plaques with their construction dates and original purposes.
- Church of St. Luke - The tour includes a visit to Saint Luke’s church, which holds great significance for locals as a symbol of unity.
- Tirana - The tour will return to Tirana in the late evening, depending on traffic and border crossing times.

Great day trip -... - Great day trip - Montenegro is beautiful and I think this is a nice alternative way to visit it. While most people go to Kotor via Dubrovnik, this trip from Tirana also incorporates Sveti Stefan and Budvar. It is a long drive but the mountainous scenery and ocean compensate for the distance.
Klodi went above and beyond and was a great companion for the day. I particularly enjoyed his love for nature - he was always willing to stop for scenic photo opportunities and even suggested a few of his own additional stops.
A very memorable adventure, and highly recommended.

The most well deserved 5 stars! Perfection. - We went for a 1-day trip with Choose Balkans to Budva and Kotor and it was one of the best days we ever had. Toni is a very knowledgable tour guide, perfect driver and he has showed us amazing places, adjusting the plan to our needs and situation on the road. We absolutely recommend them as the organisation was flawless and great quality-price value. It was our first trip with them and for sure not the last one :)) Luca and Aleksandra

Kotor and Budva - Mentor, our tour guide and driver,was extremely helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable. He truly enhanced our experience, and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour thanks to him. We visited Budva and Kotor, and also passed through several charming smaller towns along the way. The scenic views throughout the journey were absolutely stunning.

Eraldo is an excellent tour guide - Eraldo is an excellent tour guide. We had a full day tour of Montenegro, including Budva and Kotor. Eraldo truly made the trip memorable with his extensive local knowledge, explaining everything very well. We also played some car games which made the long drive go so quickly. We had free time to explore as well, but we enjoyed his company so well that it felt like 3 friends travelling together. Highly recommend this tour and especially Eraldo who is an asset to the team. Best service, worth every penny!

Nice but many hours drive. - It is a recommended trip, but traffic makes it heavy and visiting times are reduced as it takes more than 5 hours. Geraldo our guide of 10. He did his best to make the tour enjoyable. It's obviously not in your power to avoid traffic jams.

19 hour tour was exhausting - This was an exhausting 19 hour tour. I'm NOT exaggerating. We returned at 2am & had to check out 10am from our airbnb. Everything we saw was great. The guide drove safely & was extremely knowledgeable. I never would have gone if I knew it was 19 hours. At age 69, it was just too much. This should be an overnight 2 day tour.
