“Ivan was an amazing local guide. He took us to interesting stops along the lake and explained the history of the region to us. It was nice to have a local take us around for the day. We stopped for an outstanding lunch at Besac, stopped in a local fishing villages and toured a fortress. We stopped by the famous photo spot on the lake for a few pictures.

Private Skadar Lake boat ride, Pavlova Strana views, Karuc fishing village, Montenegrin wine tasting, and a mini Niagara stop from Podgorica.
“Where do I start?! Tanja and Igor were both fantastic! Tanja contacted me prior to the tour via whatsapp to confirm food and timings. As I follow a vegan diet she arranged the most incredible lunch for me and my friend. The tour was so personal, Tanja was giving us her authentic experiences of Montenegro - which is so important when visiting another country and soaking up another culture. And as a bonus, she's hilarous too! So much to learn from her. And Igor equally - we went to Igors house on Skadar lake and had some fresh springwater - it was incredible to see the house he's building from…”
Private wooden-boat tour on Lake Skadar with birdwatching in Virpazar, historic Lesendro, a swim, and local wine in Montenegro.
“Lake Skadar is beautiful and worth the trip from the port. We enjoyed being out on the water in a wooden boat but unfortunately our guide spent most of his time on his cell phone. It was more like a boat ride rather than a "tour" - and we had to ask questions and then he would answer but rarely did he give us any information about the NP or the area on his own. That was really disappointing especially after paying more for a private tour.”
6-hour Podgorica car tour: Doclea ruins, Dajbabe cave monastery, Niagara Falls coffee stop, Sipcanik wine tasting, Old Town finish.
“The guide was fantastic he took us to some really cool places, acted as not only a guide but as a photographer too! He stopped where ever we suggested and after we asked for lunch which was not part of the trip took us to the most beautiful local restaurant for great food and wine. Can’t fault the whole day it was amazing! Would definitely recommend!”
The bay, the lake, the mountains — and the best of each.
