Highly recommend this day trip. The sights were really stunning and I learned a lot from the guide. In Kotor, I hiked up to a fort on the mountain for a great view of the fjord, and I still had time to wander around the old town. In Budva, I walked to a beach and it was another great view. If you have lunch in Budva, you'll have the perfect amount of time in each place.

It was a great tour for first-time travellers since the trip served as introduction of all the amazing places in Montenegro. We spent relatively much time in the van and it was all worth it. The driver was excellent driving along the contour lines. I can imagine visiting the spots again in the future and spend more time enjoying the nature.

Excellent touristic service, Jelena has given one of the most energetic and fun tours I have ever participated in. Juan was also an amazing driver! 200% recommendable

beautiful place, not too far on the coach although passport control at borders were a very long time so be aware if your on a big coach

Great guide & Montenegro is truly a hidden gem! Loved every minute of this adventure
