Itinerary
We start from our meeting point at 9:00 am. To reach the amazing views of the Bay of Kotor and conquer Lovćen Mountain we will take the Cable Car, overlooking the famous Old Austro-Hungarian serpentine road from 1884 offering spectacular views of Kotor and Tivat Bays - an unforgettable start to an amazing day!
Due to windy weather, Cable Car ride can be canceled and instead we will take an old Austo-Hungarian road to reach the Njeguši village.
After admiring the magnificent Bay of Kotor, we continue our Great Montenegro tour over the slopes of Mt. Lovćen to reach the most famous village in Montenegro - Njeguši, where the best prosciutto (smoked ham) in the region is produced. Along our winding road path we pass a number of original 300+ year old Montenegrin stone houses. Don’t be surprised to see cows and goats grazing, resting, running around or even blocking the road in the surrounding fields and slopes. Around 09.30 am everybody should be ready for a short breakfast/snack at the oldest restaurant in Montenegro - first opened in 1881. But before you grab a bite, your guide will invite you to enjoy a free traditional RAKIJA shot (strong local brandy), just to start your day off better * Pre/post high season only
After a short rest and excellent traditional food, we’ll be ready to continue our Great Montenegro tour towards the Lovćen peaks. To conquer this "Sea of rocks", we’ll drive through the National Park of Lovćen and reach the well-known Lake Peak located at an altitude of 1.660 meters.
On top of the second-highest and imposing peak of Lovćen sits the officially highest mausoleum in the world - where the greatest Montenegrin ruler and poet Petar II Petrović Njegoš rests in peace.
During the walking tour, the guide will lead you through the most important monuments that are distinguished by their beauty and historical relevance - Monastery of Cetinje, King Nikola’s Palace, Court Church at Ćipur, and Biljarda (residence of Peter II Petrović Njegoš) where we enter to see concrete relief of Montenegro built by Austro-Hungarian army during WWI.
We continue towards the Crnojević River for some astonishing photo shots, a scenic boat ride, and, a timely lunch break! Here we are about to enjoy our scenic and relaxing boat ride. As the Crnojević River contributes directly to Skadar Lake, we’ll get the sense of the similar lush vegetation, water lilies, and dynamic birdlife as if we were at the lake itself.
The big attraction on the Riviera of Budva is Sveti Stefan. The former fishing village situated on a peninsula became an exclusive luxury hotel-town 50 years ago where non-guests are not allowed to enter. We have just enough time to enjoy the beauty of the island and to caption it in a photo from a *viewpoint above* the island. * pre/post season only*

Nina was an excellent guide—professional, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated throughout the tour. She described herself as a "tough" Montenegrin woman, and she absolutely lived up to it. Her confidence, responsibility, and great sense of humor made the trip both enjoyable and memorable. Thank you, Nina!
Great day with tour guide Nina, who was very knowledgeable with a great sense of humour! It’s a long day but with a great driver in a comfortable air conditioned bus and just the right amount of stops to showcase some amazing places in this beautiful country. I’m sure I won’t remember all the facts about the history of Montenegro but found it fascinating nonetheless. Thanks again to Nina who was a truly exceptional guide
Very good experience with Milo who did he best to show us the country and made us comfortable throughout the day. The group in my tour are also awesome. We became good friends in the end.
My husband, our eight-year-old son, and I took the Great Montenegro Tour with 360 Monte, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. This full-day excursion (about 12 hours) offers the perfect balance of breathtaking scenery and fascinating history. We visited stunning national parks, enjoyed a relaxing boat ride on Lake Skadar, explored Montenegro’s historic old capital, and made several other memorable stops along the way. Our guide, Milo, was truly exceptional. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared the history, culture, and traditions of Montenegro with genuine passion and pride. His enthusiasm was contagious and made us feel deeply connected to the country and its people, turning an already beautiful tour into a truly meaningful experience. If you’re looking for an incredible way to experience Montenegro, I can’t recommend this tour and tour agency enough.
This is a fantastic tour. So much included and really well organised. Nina our tour guide was probably the best tour guide we have had. I can highly recomend !
We booked this tour based on the reviews on Viator and it di not disappoint us. Tour guide was amazing and he did make changes because of the high heat which was very mindful. All the points were covered and worth visiting. We could not see lotuses though but some birds and some air made our boat ride worth it. You can swim in the water but it was warm and full with tiny fishes. Do not forget to take photos/videoes while going up via gandola as your next journey starts in car/bus from the top. Lovcen NP has 460 steps but view from the top is stunning !
Excellent tour, guide was wonderful. Shot provided at breakfast was not offered or even mentioned so slightly misleading advertising.
It is a long day. Highlights included Cable Car, Citinje, mausoleum. Best was swimming in the river surrounded by amazing bird life. Danny Drinkwater could do with taking a course on Bird spotting 😂 but he was an exceptionally talented guide. Remember to Take plenty of water.
The tour was really fantastic. It is very hot here at the moment but our bus had a lovely air conditioning. Our gifs Milos was excellent. Hi talked enthusiastically about his country and all the sights. We were also allowed to ask questions about everything we wanted to know about the culture, good food places, sights, music,... I even searched with me for traditional music. The different sights were hugely beautiful to see and everywhere we got plenty of time to take pictures or look at things. Milos adjusted the order of the tour a bit because of an approaching thunderstorm and that was the best decision. So it is a guide who does this with heart and soul. You'll be gone all day, though. We left at 9am and were back in Kotor at 7.30pm. I would do this right back!!!
Nice tour of Montenegro in a day with coverage of main main places of interest including boat tour and cable car
