Beautiful monastery

Joanne_S, Oct 2025
We really enjoyed this trip. The scenery in the mountains was stunning and the monastery was absolutely beautiful. Our guide was great, a lovely guy, and very informative.... and an excellent driver up the steep windy roads to the higher monastery.

Unforgettable trip

Me and my friend had amazing private trip to Ostrog monastery. If you in Montenegro you must to visit this spiritual place with amazing views to explore beautiful nature and unbeatable architecture of monastery. Separately I want to say big thank you to our guide Vuk. He was so professional, informative and helpful all day. We felt very safe. So much information he gave us, answered all questions, managed to take us straight to monastery without long walk up to cliff. He did everything with passion and enthusiasm, nothing too much for him. After we visited impressive monastery we had lovely lunch at Koliba konoba recommended by Vuk. Food just melted in the mouth. On our way back to Kotor was accident on the road but Vuk found options how to take us to hotel safely without waiting for three hours on the road. Thank you so much Vuk and your company for amazing day. Highly recommend to take this tour. You will be looked after very well.

We were again with Vuk...

We were again with Vuk today, and we were very pleased. Again his knowledge of the trip today was immense. Vuk was very good and experienced on the topic we were visiting. Thank you and we hope to visit Montenegro again and hopefully Vuk will be on hand to assist.

Great experience

We had a great excursion to Ostrog, guide Vuk was amacing, drove carefully, and had so much knowledge of history and other things we talked about during the day.

Fantastic trip to the stunning Ostrog Monastery

Fantastic trip that I would highly recommend. Ostrog Monastery is stunning in its location, architecturally incredible and also humbling as a site so important to Orthodox Christianity within the region. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared great insights and information that helped to make the trip even better.

Amazing and Tranquil

It was an amazing experience visiting Ostrog. Such a beautiful and peaceful place high in the mountains. Journey was really awesome. Erik our guide was really good, informative and also a gem of a person. We had really good journey, an amazing lunch at koliba organised by Erik. I would highly recommend Nikola and Erik's team here for this amazing tour.

Wonderful experience, fantastic tour guide

This is tour is a must if you’re staying in, around Kotor. Nikola our guide made the day so brilliant. He was friendly, chatty, knowledgeable of the places we were visiting, nothing was too much trouble for him. Picked up for our hotel at a time we chose, stoped for Turkish coffee on route, and told all about the monastery and the area from Nikola. Great views for the bay from high up in the mountains! We had a brilliant day and cannot recommend Nikola or the service enough. Even if there was some fog that slightly blocked our view from the bay, was all still brilliant!

Amazing tour and tour guide.

This was such a great day. We ended up getting stuck for more than an hour in road construction so this became a much longer tour. Ostrog was beautiful. Make sure and wear pants or something to cover your knees. He ended up being able to drive us to the top instead of us walking, since we were so delayed in traffic. We came home a different route so we would not have to wait in construction again. It was a beautiful route down the mountain zigzagging through switchbacks. Our guide was knowledgeable, funny, knew history of the areas we traveled through, pointed out different landmarks, knew where to stop for photo opps, what restaurants to eat at in Kotor. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Would recommend this tour & company.

This was a great day with a wonderful experience and I would recommend this company. Very friendly & helpful & our driver Luka was a pleasure. Thanks

This was a fantastic tour...

This was a fantastic tour with the right balance of a relaxing pace while at the same time seeing a lot. The trip to the Monastery was great with a lot of suspense as we drove higher and higher in the mist only to find the clouds and rain clear up for our arrival. We had a leisurely trip back to kotor stopping at a picturesque restaurant with a terrace overlooking the hills for coffee and also a stop in Perast. Our tour guide, Milan, was very friendly, helpful and entertaining throughout.
