“This was our third trip with Ms Ana, we saw the coast and also added on a customized tour of Ulcinje and Bar with her. 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…”
