The guide was excellent, the bus driver got us there and back safely. Those were the two positives. Traffic was a nightmare. There is a single two lane highway so any car crash, slow truck, wild fire emergency will slow everythjng down. Took 6 hrs instead of two to get there. Someone needs to start summer ferry service from Albania to Montenegro.
Long drive to Budva and back, even longer if you don't depart from Shkoder. But the Old Town in Budva is very beautifull and worth a visit. 3 hours there is not long enough so I would suggest you say there or do the trip yourself. Prepare for Pricy European prices.
It was a great day. The tour saves you time and money and lets you check some of the best spots on Montenegro's coast. Valeria was a great leader, always trying to cheer the group and sharing interesting facts and tips. She even shared the live location of the bus to let me know when they were getting to Shkoder and even played some games on board the bus and let us choose songs for the Playlist. She also organized a boat tour ro let us swim and check some of the beautiful coves.
Super experience, guide adorable et acceuillant! Super visite du Montenegro. thank you so much Mentor. The girl French 🇲🇫
