Amazing tour

It was the best tour ever, amazing 4 days! We liked Budva and Kotor, but the most beautiful places for us were Skadar Lake and Black Lake on Durmitor. Wild beauty in Montenegro is really amazing! For sure, we will come again. Of course, we had excellent tourist guide (Nikola). See you soon again.
