We were so pleased that our tour operators Vlad was eager to tell us lots about the montenegrin history, and he also showed us some place that since me and my wife are nature lovers we loved them. Such as the tara bridge (i did the zipline, my wife was afraid to do it), the black lake(an alpine lake that has a really beautiful restaurant and really good food). I recommend this tour to everyone, and don't forget to…”
