Fantastic Private Tour with an Outstanding Guide! - We thoroughly enjoyed our Podgorica Historic, Safari, and Winery tour at Skadar Lake and River Crnojevica. Our guide, Milija Cabarkapa, made the experience truly unforgettable. Milija accompanied us throughout the entire day, driving us comfortably around Skadar Lake. He introduced us to stunning locations such as the Niagara Waterfall, fascinating historic sites including the relics of the family that once ruled Montenegro, and breathtaking viewpoints, especially the spectacular panoramic view at Pavlova Strana. We also visited charming municipalities around Skadar and enjoyed delicious local wines and tasty regional cuisine at a welcoming winery. Milija’s deep knowledge of Montenegro's rich history and culture significantly enriched our tour. Most impressively, I accidentally left my mobile phone in his car after the tour and immediately panicked. Thankfully, with the quick help from the Tripadvisor team, Milija promptly returned my phone within just 30 minutes. I am incredibly grateful for his kindness and professionalism. I highly recommend this private tour - especially with Milija as your guide - for anyone wanting an authentic and memorable experience of Montenegro. Thank you again, Milija!

Podgorica must do - It was our pleasure to be on this tour of Podgorica. Marko was one of the funniest guide we have had so far. Best part of the tour was Mrkan Winery. If you are coming to Podgorica, we recommend you do this tour.

Best way to spend a day in Podgorica! - We ⁇ this trip. We had a great and knowledgeable guide who made the trip interesting and who always made sure we had a good time. We got to see many wonderful places and a majestic landscape. The end of the vineyard was truly an adventure for itself - delicious flavors and real hospitality. We recommend this trip to everyone!

AMAZING TOUR! - This tour has exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide, Milija, has given us insights into Montenegro's history and current events! He has taken us to see beautiful views from fortresses and rivers, unique spots that are not on the typical tourist route. He has also brought us to a gorgeous winery owned by a lovely couple and made us appreciate wine a lot. Our tour guide was easy to converse with and has made our experience more fun. Overall, this experience was truly unique! I highly recommend this tour!

Podgorica's hidden gems !!! - Milija was the best !!! We went as a group of three, he was incredibly friendly, knew a lot about the place, and was very respectful. To prove my point, the roads were quite bad because of the rain the previous day. Still he took us through slush to give us the surreal experience of spotting WILD HORSES !!!! The wine tasting spot at the end of the tour was spectacular as well. For people visiting Montenegro for the first time, Podgorica holds more than just pubs, and the trip will take you everywhere !!!!!

Breathtaking tour - We were expecting a nice tour, but it was 100x better than we could've ever imagined. The scenery was absolutely beautiful. The guide was very good informed about the history and the stories were very interesting. We definitely would go again on this trip.

Worst Car Company at Podgorica Airport. Never take Car rent from this company. - Green Motion Car Hire: Seriously the worst car rental company you have. for security deposit you cannot accept Amex, or Visa debit. this was never mentioned anywhere on the web page while booking that Amex or visa debit cards are not acceptable. I had to pay €170.00 for additional insurance for what i don't know. The car was crap 111,115km already run. There was no fuel in the car at pickup time (20km left to go to petrol station). I returned the car with half tank full. Brake discs completely out of plane. whole car shakes while applying brakes. There was no water for windscreen wash water tank. while going out the parking, parking ticket was not available, parking guys asked for €30.00 without parking ticket. The tire pressure monitoring was not working. No pressure in the tires. Car was not cleaned, scratches all over the car. while returning, there was no one on the counter four other families waiting for flight time to return the car. Never ever again.
