“Milija was the best !!! We went as a group of three, he was incredibly friendly, knew a lot about the place, and was very respectful. To prove my point, the roads were quite bad because of the rain the previous day. Still he took us through slush to give us the surreal experience of spotting WILD HORSES !!!! The wine tasting spot at the end of the tour was spectacular as well. For people visiting Montenegro for the first time, Podgorica holds more than just pubs, and the trip will take you everywhere !!!!!”

“This experience was one of the best excursions we have ever had. Our tour guide, Dragan, was one of the best guides we have ever had. We were on a Viking cruise, but chose to do a small group private tour and boy we were rewarded! First, the time of year was critical. We were there in early November so there was not a lot of traffic on the 25 switchback highway. We saw only 4 buses and none of those went toward Peter II's grave. Thus, the trip up took only about 1 hour with stops. Dragan showed us pictures in the busier season of literally a hundred vehicles…”
