I was traveling with my girlfriend and we booked few days in Montenegro. As we didn't have enough time, we wanted to see as much as we could in one day shore excursion. Djordje our tour guide was fabulous.He was super concerning, told us a lot, fun, and an overall great tour guide. Tour of Cetinje was interesting with all that history and royal family, then food in the village, along with serpentine view, and Kotor was fantastic. I cannot recommend this enough. Hope to come one day.
