Welcome to our Private Great Montenegro Tour!
We will drive you to the top of Mount Lovcen to have a traditional breakfast in Njeguši hamlet and breathtaking panoramic views of the Bay of Kotor. The next goal is to ascend the magnificent 1.700-meter Lake Peak and see the resting place of Petar Petrovic Njegos II. Take a lovely boat trip on the Crnojević River, have lunch, then drive to the Old Royal Capital, Cetinje. We pause after the day to take a picture of Saint Stefan, the most well-known island. The entire day was filled with incredibly memorable moments.
See you on the Great Montenegro Tour!

Our Private Great Montenegro tour is customized according to your preference, but we suggest starting in the morning around 08:00 a.m. as we have many highlights to visit, and the day will be long. And we promise getting up early will be worth it!
You might think that leaving the touristy and crowded coastline and going to the mountains is the best part of the tour, but wait to see the views as we drive along the Old Austro-Hungarian road, specifically curved by “special hand technology” in the 19th century.
Two photo stops and 25 serpentines later, we are reaching the village of Njeguši, known for the best prosciutto in Montenegro! The local family serves traditional breakfast, and they don’t even think of skipping the famous shot of rakija (very, very strong brandy) to brighten up the morning!
The next stop is conquering Lovćen Mountain! Walking up 461 steps may be something you would rather skip, but your tour guide would never agree with that, and this is why:
A visit to the highest mausoleum in the world, a lavish monument with a 20-ton heavy statue of Peter II Pertović Njegoš and 18 kilograms of gold sparkling from the ceiling, might be enough reason, but adding a jaw-dropping view of almost the entire Montenegro from the top. You’ll be sure that the only way to go is up!
A drive down towards Cetinje through Lovćen National Park gives an exciting insight into Montenegrin limestone terrain and reflects a unique admiration for this dry “sea of rocks.”
Old Royal Capital stays “frozen in time” from the era of Montenegro being a Kingdom. The town is relatively small, but it exudes history in every corner, every window, and every building. To understand better why these locals care so much about keeping everything as it was, follow up with the story from your tour guide along the walking tour.
Enough with history; give us food and wine!
That being said, we drive down to the River of Crnojević, part of Skadar Lake National Park (the inevitable “horseshoe bend” river view on every postcard of Montenegro).
First, we recommend a lunch stop by the water and some local wine to refresh from the altitude change all day.
A short break doesn’t mean the tour is over, as now the real fun starts!
Join us for a relaxing (well-deserved) boat ride along the river to the middle of the “horseshoe bend” itself, and do not hesitate to jump in to cool down in the hot summer months.
Leaving this natural vibe, lush vegetation, and birds chirping is always tricky. Still, we have one more stop before finishing the tour – something opposite, the most expensive place to stay in Montenegro – its majesty, St. Stefan peninsula!
The town emerged in the 15th century for the first time as a fisherman’s village, and who would ever think that this place would now cost up to 5.000 euros for one night and be visited by the most famous people in the world? Real WOW.
Long but very diverse days end up in your hotel around evening hours, and we leave you, to sum up your impressions and brag to your friends about how incredible the experience in Montenegro is.
