It was the best thing that I experienced in Montenegro for 2 weeks of my vacation! The trip to the rafting site itself was very attractive. We stopped at beautiful viewpoints, the route by Tara was fantastic! The guide Nina talked about Montenegro in an interesting and cheerful manner. The breakfast was huge and delicious. Rafting was an interesting adventure. We got comfortable and warm wetsuits. We sailed, among others downstream and we visited a small waterfall. There were no announced jumps into the water. However, it was the only company that organized rafting off-season. There was a big tasty dinner after rafting, we even took a takeaway part. From the skipper, the group could buy a memory card with photos and videos from rafting for 40 euro (our group did not want it). It would be better if the price of the tour included these photos. The logistics of the trip was very efficient, there was only an incorrect link to the meeting point in the application. A good link was in the ema

This tour greatly exceeded my expectations! We were driven around in an excellently-maintained comfortable minibus around the roads of Montenegro with a kind, insightful guide who made sure everyone was comfortable. I don't consider myself a nature guy, but I was blown away by the incredible sights that the driver took us. Because this tour was marketed by a nearby hostel, the tour has plenty of cool travelers who are great company and are now my new friends. I recommend this tour as a must-do for any traveler to Montenegro.

As someone who doesn’t do a lot of organized trips, this was definitely a positive suprize! The trip had a nice balance of activities, sightseeing, history, culture, food and good old fun. And even the long car rides didn’t feel that long at all. Our guide (Milos) was very knowledgeable and charming, and seemed genuinely passionate about the history and culture of Montenegro.

It was a great tour for first-time travellers since the trip served as introduction of all the amazing places in Montenegro. We spent relatively much time in the van and it was all worth it. The driver was excellent driving along the contour lines. I can imagine visiting the spots again in the future and spend more time enjoying the nature.

We had a fantastic time on our trip to the north of Montenegro. Stunning scenery and all the travel accounted for. Only slight issue is having to wait for other guests who are late and get lost..! Our tour guide Milos was fab and informative. Make sure you go on the zipwire!! We can’t wait to go back to Montenegro.
