Wonderful day exploring mountain towns, stunning lake and drinking delicious wine!

Our day with Alexander began on the serpentine road, where he proved right away what a responsible driver he is. He was punctual, informative, and fun throughout the tour. Next came Lake Skadar—stunning, enormous, and wonderfully peaceful, with floating lilies across the water. We boarded the cutest little boat and were welcomed with wine, juice, and traditional “donuts” What a way to see the lake! Afterward, Alexander took us to historic Rijeka Crnojevića, a small riverside settlement with a fascinating past.. The town’s stone bridge, built in the nineteenth century during the reign of Prince Danilo, is one of its most recognizable landmarks. Together with the old houses, river, and surrounding mountains, it gives Rijeka Crnojevićan a worthy stop. Another tour guide later heard we’d visited and told us how lucky we were to have seen it! We finished at a charming winery that has been in the same family for seven generations and has won multiple awards. We ate figs straight from the tree, enjoyed a generous charcuterie board, and sipped delicious wine. Alexander made the whole day easy, interesting, and full of fun. We loved it!

Lake Skadar & Wine Tasting

Spent a fantastic day with Dino doing a tour of Lake Skadar and Cetinje, including Wine Tasting & a lovely mezze lunch at a local winery. He was a great host for the day, really friendly with a fun personality & deep knowledge of Montenegren life & history. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole day & it was certainly one of the highlights of our trip to the country. After our initial online enquiry, his communication was great & allowed us to organise a bespoke day based upon the things we wished to do & see. Based upon our experience, we would thoroughly recommend Dino & Caeli Travel if you wish to organise a trip whilst in Montenegro.

Operator response

Dear Robert, Thank you for such a lovely review. There's no better compliment than hearing that your day with Dino was one of the standout moments of your trip. He loves sharing the country he calls home, and we're glad that his stories, local knowledge, and easygoing nature helped make the day both fun and unforgettable. It was also a pleasure helping put together a day that matched what you wanted to see and do. Some of the best tours are the ones built around our guests' interests, and we're thrilled that the mix of Skadar Lake, Cetinje, great wine, and local food turned out to be just what you were looking for. Thank you for your trust, your kind words, and for choosing to spend a day exploring with us. If Montenegro ever calls you back, we'll be here with a few more stories, a few more hidden gems, and maybe another glass of wine waiting for you. 😊 Warm wishes, The Caeli Travel Team

Unforgettable experience !

We had an amazing day that exceeded our expectations! Dino picked us up and first drove us around Podgorica giving us many interesting facts and then we he surprised us with a trip to the Lipa Cave and then a trip to the old historical capital town which we loved. We then headed off to the lake and had a beautiful trip out on Skada with lovely fresh food and local wine. We then went to a gorgeous local winery and got to meet the lender and sample lots of wine and home cooked food. Dino was fantastic and even devised a whole itinerary for us to cover the next 10 days we had in Montenegro, we did lots of his recommendations and it really made the trip so special. Thanks Dino and we would recommended this trip to everyone!

Operator response

Dear Joseph, We really enjoyed reading about your day with Dino and everything that followed afterwards! We especially loved hearing that his recommendations didn’t end when the tour did. The fact that he sat down with you and helped plan the next 10 days, and that you actually followed many of his suggestions, is such a nice part of this story. That is exactly the kind of care Dino brings to his tours, and we know he’ll be very happy to hear that it made the rest of your holiday in Montenegro even more special. From an unexpected visit to Lipa Cave to Lake Skadar, local food and plenty of Montenegrin wine, you certainly managed to fit a lot into one day! Thank you for trusting Dino’s recommendations and for such a warm recommendation of your own. We hope those 10 days left you with plenty of reasons to come back to Montenegro again! Warm regards, Caeli Travel Team

Amazing 2 days in montanegro by caeli travel with sanja

I had an amazing private trip to magical Montenegro with the stunning, charming guide Sanya, who gave in-depth and interesting explanations about the places we visited, the history, the stories and the legends. Without her it wouldn't have been the same!! I highly recommend and of course I will come back again, there are more interesting places and things to see and experience.

Operator response

Dear Ofer, Thank you so much for these beautiful words! I have to admit, “stunning and charming guide” made me smile. 😊 I really enjoyed our tours together and all the conversations we had along the way. Montenegro has so many stories, legends and layers of history behind the beautiful views, and I’m happy that you were curious to hear about all of them and experience more than just the places themselves. And yes, we definitely didn’t manage to see everything! I’ll remember that you said you’re coming back, because there is still a lot of Montenegro left for us to explore. Thank you for choosing Caeli Travel and for such a warm recommendation. It was truly lovely having you here! Warm regards, Sanja & Caeli Travel Team

Good times with Sany

I booked a boat tour in boka bay with Sanya through instagram and i had the best of times. She was very engaging and she told us some fascinating stories about Montenegro that you cant read online. My daughter and i were mesmerized by the experience and at the end lf the trip it felt like watching a very good movie that left you wondering if there was one more just like it.

Operator response

Thank you so much for taking time to write this review! Your words mean a lot to us! Boka Bay trip is definitely one of the best excursions we have! We are looking forward to seeing you again sometime! Kind regards, Sanja

Montenegro's trip with Caeli

Visiting montenegro was one of the best trips I've ever had in my life. Such a unique experience in the balkan area. It has everything (sea with beautiful warm beaches, lakes, rivers). Further more, going with caeli travel makes it special as they plan everything to you in advance and save the hassle if you're going for the first time. And special thanks go to Sanja who explained everything about the ancient sites and enlightened us about the history and events and was the perfect and honest guide during our staying since we landed until we left the airport.

Operator response

Dear Aldaawi, Thank you for sharing your fantastic experience in Montenegro! We're so happy to hear it was one of your best trips ever. We're glad you enjoyed the beautiful beaches, lakes, and rivers. It’s wonderful to know that Caeli Travel could make your visit hassle-free, and Sanja’s exceptional guidance made your stay even more special. Your kind words mean a world to us and we look forward to welcoming you on another adventure soon! Best regards, Caeli Management Team
