The tour promises a panoramic view above the iconic Sveti Stefan, a sight that captures the essence of Montenegro’s coastal allure.

A review from November 2024 captures the essence of this experience:

Wonderful tour experience! Great photo ops! - We had a private tour with Tiho’s son Buk (or maybe Vuk?) He was excellent and drove carefully and told us much about the area. He was also extremely kind and considerate when I experienced a bit of a problem while on tour. He went out of his way to see to my comfort. I can’t express my appreciation adequately. He is a delightful young man and we wish him much success in the future. We really enjoyed our tour! (Reviewed at: 2024-11-06)

Lovely afternoon - We went with Petar. He was incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly. We had a great time learning a bit about the history of the area and the monasteries. I would highly recommend this trip if you have the time. He also took some great photos for us and sent us them. Brilliant for a keepsake of the trip. Well worth the money. (Reviewed at: 2025-02-04)
