Incredible experience! - Petar was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and his English is impeccable. The three monasteries are beautiful, but most particularly the one run by Nuns (hint - make sure you go into their shop, the hand cream is incredible). Such stunning views, and such great history of Montenegro, absolutely recommend this tour!

Perfect Petar 😊🎺😊🎺 - Petar picked us up from our hotel, from the 1st moment to the last he was a fantastic guide. He drove us to local monasteries, where we were able to buy locally made goods. The views were sublime, and Petar was able to educate us on all things Montenegrin. We were so impressed we took another trip later in the week with Petar. This was also superb!! These trips really made our holiday, and we would encourage anyone to take a trip with Petar 😊

Tour is strongly recommended! - I was a wonderful, peaceful, beautiful and a really interesting tour. If you want to see something really special and unusual this tour is what you need. These places are not mentioned in standard list of touristic sights, but perhaps they will tell you about Montenegro even more then the most popular sights. Guide is a talented storyteller. He also gave us a lot of advices and tipps about Montenegro besides tour.

AMAZING VIEWS WITH A GREAT GUIDE - I would highly recommend this tour. Petar is a brilliant guide. He provided us with an extensive history of Montenegro and all the wonderful sights we visited. He even tailor made a tour for us the following day which was incredible!

Not to be missed! - Beautiful, peaceful and interesting tour. Petar is a great guide, bringing the history and culture to life with his storytelling. The women's monastery was the highlight for me, absolutely beautiful and we received a warm welcome throughout. View stops on the way back were stunning.

Fantastic experience with Petar - Petar was an amazing guide. This was my first time in Montenegro and Petar provided a fantastic introduction to this beautiful country. I had booked for one tour, but ended up doing three tours with Petar.

Amazingly expected tour. - Petar was an exceptional host and guide. His knowledge of his country was outstanding as well as his passion. This was a worthwhile tour as he took us to not only the Petrozavodsk Monastery but to the Nuns convent. We met the nuns who were so humble and purchased some homegrown and homemade products too. Petar also took us to some fantastic viewing points to see Sveti Stefan. I would highly recommend this tour.

Memorable tour and experience - Definitely this tour was a perfect decision because it was the best way to discover places which otherwise I would never visit. So much history, culture and breathtaking views and nature. So much history which is hidden behind the scene. Petar was full of knowledge and gave me so much information about the location and about Montenegro in general. I am so sorry that I did not have more time to visit other places which he mentioned and which are the cradle of Montenegrin history. But, I hope I will in the future :)
