We had a fantastic tour with Miloš. He was a fantastic driver who was informative, interesting and friendly. We never felt rushed and saw some fantastic sights. A really wonderful addition to our few days in Podgorica. Would definitely recommend this tour operator, communication was fantastic and they genuinely care about giving clients a good experience.
Wonderful short trip to Shkoder and Lake Skadar on the Albanian side! The weather was fantastic, the hospitality and food were excellent, and we didn’t face long waits at the border. Our tour guide was outstanding—thank you!
We wanted to visit 2 countries in a short period so we took a few tours in Montenegro and one day in Albania. This was a great experience since we managed to taste a bit of Schkoder. We waited a few minutes on the borders , so we had a lot of time to enjoy . We especially liked the food. We learned a lot about Balkan . We are for sure going to return back.
If you're looking to explore a bit of Albania while you're in Montenegro, this tour is a fantastic choice. Tanja, our tour guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and made the experience even more enjoyable. The views from Rozafa Castle were breathtaking, and Skadar Lake was simply stunning. We also had a lovely lunch, which added to the overall wonderful experience.
Tarja our guide was excellent, super friendly and very knowledgeable. She bought us some Montenegro snacks and drinks which was a lovely touch. She gave us all the information needed and plenty of time at the stops and for a lovely lunch on the lake. Thoroughly enjoyed the day and would recommend this trip.
Nice one day trip with knoweable tour guide. No waiting on a border. This part of Albania is very different comparing to Montrnegro. Food and hospitality are super good. Recommendation if you want to visit one more country till you are in Podgorica.
Lovely day trip from Podgorica to Schkoder . If you want to taste the spirit of Albania this is the right way. We hear interesting stories and have a very funny and nice time.
