A private half-day from Kotor to Lovcen, with Njegos Mausoleum views, Njegusi prosciutto, cheese, wine, and local spirits.

“What a brilliant trip. Dragan was a fantastic host, taking us up into the hills to see the stunning Boka Bay and the Lovcen National Park and sharing his in depth knowledge of Montenegro. Stopping off for lunch was a highlight. He smokes his own prosciutto, procures goats and cows cheese from his neighbours and distills his own wine, liqueurs and local firewater. Being able to sit, eat and drink overlooking the mountains was beautiful. Thanks Dragan for a memorable trip.”

Kayak Skadar Lake with a private guide, visiting island forts, swimming at Pelinovo Plaža, and enjoying Montenegro without the planning work.

“Highly recommended! Amazingly beautiful views, great conversations and refreshingly active. It was so easy to communicate with Milija and his instructions were very clear. I really enjoyed hearing from him a lot about what life is like in Montenegro but also getting some historical context and information on the region. We kayaked on quite a wavy day (the previous day was very rainy) so it was physically quite hard, however on calm days I would believe it can be done by people in moderate shape as well. I highly recommend this activity!!!”
