Stunning Lake Skadar. Fantastic! - Spectacular lake & scenery. We had Nikolai as our captain. He was knowledgeable, gave us lots of facts about what we would see & pointed things out to us. He also gave us historical facts. The wine on board was good too, also had soft drinks & water. We stopped for some brave souls to take a dip in the lake. We were also lucky to see some pelicans. Highly recommend the tour, & Nikolai was great!

great way to spend a few hours on the lake - lovely quiet boat with a very nice captain/guide. His English was excellent (Nicholas) and he was very friendly. Talked about history and wildlife, pointed out birds for us to see. Unlimited wine, water or soft drinks.

Great time - We took this boat ride, we had a skipper called Baki, he was very friendly and constantly smiled and had a lot of knowledge and knew how to answer every question we had. The trip is pretty, chill and very nice and includes some wine and soft drinks. Very recommended.

Lovely company and lovely experience - Lovely cruise experience, very nice wine and the views, the captain was really nice he gave us good information about the wildlife and the landscape and the history. The operator company was really helpful and we had a problem with the arrival time and the they helped us through it after Viator customer service were saying they couldn’t do anything to help because of the 24h policy.

Very nice discovery - Very nice walk on the lake, lots of vegetation and birds. English speaking guide but very nice. He offers refreshments (alcohol or soft) and takes pictures of us. Well you park opposite on the improvised "parking" and go under the road (passage created for pedestrians). Watch out for Virpazar's entrance of the not very friendly solicitors. Parking is free you have nothing to pay except the boat within 15 euros and the entrance to the national park of 5 euros (control on the lake).

Our guide Nickoli was super nice and knowledgeable about the area and the different types of birds we were seeing. He also took some nice photos of my friend and me! Definitely reccomend this tour.

Beautiful - Beautiful tour and good value for money. There are drinks included and the guide left the bottles of wine open for anyone to have more. There is an additional 5 EUR park fee which we were not aware of and can only be paid in cash.

Oh dear - but it could probably get worse - The tour on the lake to the water lilies was very nice. It was a great pity that the young skipper barely spoke English and only spoke 5 sentences during the 2 hour trip. We learned more from the prospectus. In addition, he was dressed absolutely unsuitably, bathing slippers with socks and stained sweatpants, such a thing is not possible - nowhere in Europe. Too bad...
