“We did the jeep tour to the hidden stone village. Luka picked us up from the hotel and took us on a scenic drive around the coast, we then went off road up to the village. The off road drive was exhilarating and Luka is clearly very experienced in traversing the rough terrain. The views the from the village were absolutely stunning and we were given an abundance of national foods to try. The tour to the village felt very exclusive as Luka explained no other tour operators have access to it! We then visited a museum and were treated to a coffee! Would definitely recommend this trip - Especially…”

We felt very comfortable with her and she understood exactly the kind of things we would enjoy. The wine tasting couldn't be organised due to technical issues at the winery so she took us to try local food for lunch. As for Lovcen it's definitely worth the climb of 400 plus steps to see the most spectacular views of Montenegro ! The weather God's were kind to us and so was Ms Ana as she diligently monitored the weather forecast to ensure we would go…”
