Great experience - A full day of visiting some beautiful mountains, lakes and other features. It is a long tour (for us nearly 14hrs) but the experience was worth it.

Amazing wonderful trip. - Absolutely amazing trip. I would give six stars if I could. The three main highlights, the Tara River Canyon, Black Lake in Durmitor Park, and the Ostrog monastery were all incredible. The tour guide Vera was superb.
Go on this trip, you won't regret it.

Best North Montenegro Adventure - We had an amazing group trip exploring the stunning landscapes of North Montenegro! The itinerary took us through some of the country’s most breathtaking sights, including Durmitor National Park, Ostrog Monastery, and the incredible Tara Canyon.
Durmitor National Park was absolutely unforgettable — the scenery was straight out of a postcard, with its dramatic mountains, pristine lakes, and fresh mountain air. Our stop at the Black Lake was a highlight, offering just enough time to enjoy a peaceful walk and take in the views.
The visit to Ostrog Monastery was truly special. Set high in the cliffs, it was both spiritual and awe-inspiring. Our guide shared fascinating insights about its history, making the experience even more meaningful.
Tara Canyon didn’t disappoint either — the views from the Đurđevića Tara Bridge were spectacular! We also appreciated the chance to take photos and stretch our legs during each stop, which were perfectly timed and well organized.
A huge thanks to our guide, who was knowledgeable, friendly, and very attentive throughout the trip, and to our driver, who navigated the mountain roads with great care and professionalism. The whole day was smooth, safe, and thoroughly enjoyable.
Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see the wild beauty of Montenegro with a well-organized team!

This was a really great,... - This was a really great, all day experience. The guides were young, fun and made this an adventure.
I didn’t like the choice of our food stop because there was a guy smoking while the other was preparing the meals.

Ask ahead if the tour is... - Ask ahead if the tour is going to the monestary. For my tour the monestary is cancelled because of crowds (my tour happens to be on a Saturday). Otherwise a pretty pleasant tour with lots of information.

Eventful, but worth it! - The itinerary of this excursion excluded Ostrog Monastery, owing to a pilgrimage for St. Basil's feast day on the date we had booked to visit (so avoid 11th/12th May). We accepted an alternative destination, rather than cancelling altogether. However, owing to unforseen circumstances the day became prolonged owing to a road closure and other glitches. The whole group - 18 of us - were extremely weary with what was ultimately an excessively lengthy day by the end of it. Hence 3 stars.
That said, on the day, the guide, Vera, was marvellous! Jovial, supportive, concerned, supremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to meet. The driver was considerate, careful on tiny switchback roads and very accommodating too. At all times there were excellent communications between ourselves and 350 Monte customer services. We were also offered a prompt, partial refund of the experience. So for them there would be 5 🌟 if there was an option on this review. What we saw on the day was without doubt quite spectacular. Breakfast and lunch was delicious, and we met some truly lovely, interesting people. Whatever, we made wonderful memories and they outweighed the other misfortunes of the day.
