Amazing trip, beautiful monastery, very knowledgeable local guide, lovely restaurant in mountains & a short walk to a cold & beautiful waterfall to swim in - very refreshing. Thoroughly recommend this trip - nicest that we did.
This was such a joyful experience. Petar, our guide, was an absolute star; knowledgeable, humerous, enthusiastic, well spoken and with perfect manners, especially given the average age of group was 73, nothing was too much - we wished we had bookeda longer tour with Petar. We so enjoyed visiting the beautiful peaceful monastery just above the Town of Budva , transversing the Black Mountains above to visit Krapina, an oasis away from busy days, offering superb local produce food, wine & rakija, followed by a walk to the canyon waterfall, with a deep pool if you fancy a swim. We came away with the local honey as a reminder of a perfect, peaceful trip. I would absolute recommend Petar Golubivic as a guide when in Budva, his passion and pride in his beautiful country is omnipresent
