Dimitrije picked us up from our hotel with a big smile and answered all our questions along the way and gave lots of information. He allowed us time to explore on our own as well and we found lots to talk about. The Monastery and Falls are definitely worth seeing and we would recommend this tour and company to anyone. We came away having had a great experience and will book with them again

Vladimir picked us up from our hotel in Kotor on time and was an amazing tour guide the whole day. He made our 2 hr trip to Ostrog feel like 30 minutes. He is so informational about his country.

Our guide was on time, informed us of the day, was knowledgeable and answered all our questions. He was patient with our groups pace (knee injuries) which was appreciated. Overall, good tour of the specific spots.

Had somewhat mixed feelings about giving this tour a five as was leaning towards a four the guide made that pretty clear. A few things why I thought it was not a five. While we had a private tour when it came to the boat ride it was not private, we had another couple join us. Also the "Niagara" was not really worth it as it added unnecessary time, as the trip to the Monastery is pretty long and was more of a point of the tour. The guide on the other hand was absolutely amazing and not to mention his driving skills and knowledge of both history and the surroundings.

The tour was excellent. We had a friendly tour guide that joked around with us, understood us and was very informative. Our needs were accommodated and we appreciate that.

This was wonderful. There was no other way for us to get a better local experience; and the destinations were wonderful. Guides were incredibly kind and knowledgeable.

We had taken trip of Durmitor National Park with this company and the owner had come himself to show us around, so to maintain continuity he took us on this trip too. Appreciate Mr Dimitri's professionalism and customer service. We felt comfortable despite the fact that we were travelling with our 1.5 year old. It's always interesting to learn about other cultures and histories and this monastery is a unique one ! The Niagara falls set in a serene setting is a very calming place and ideal for picnics, but since we went in winter wasn't the ideal time for it .

An interesting walk. The monastery is worth visiting. The waterfalls and the lake are impressive, although the incessant rain did not allow for full enjoyment.

¡Muchas gracias por su reseña!
Nos alegra saber que disfrutó del tour al Monasterio de Ostrog, las Cataratas del Niágara y el Lago Skadar desde Podgorica. El Monasterio de Ostrog es realmente uno de los lugares más impresionantes y especiales de Montenegro.
Lamentamos que la lluvia constante no haya permitido disfrutar plenamente de las cataratas y del lago, pero nos alegra saber que aun así tuvo una experiencia interesante y agradable.
Gracias una vez más por elegir Mont Travelers. ¡Esperamos darle la bienvenida nuevamente en Montenegro con mejor clima la próxima vez!
