Full description
You will begin your tour by visiting the most famous waterfalls near the capital, Niagara Waterfalls. On the way to the falls, you will be able to see the Cijevna River Canyon, which was formerly the border between Montenegro and the Ottoman Empire until 1912. The waterfall was named after the Niagara waterfalls in Canada. Being much smaller, the waterfall is a great attraction for "Podgorica", and a place to rest on hot summer days.  Sometimes during the summer, the waterfalls dry up, so you get the opportunity to visit Virpazar or the lookouts above the river Crnojević, both part of the Skadar Lake National Park. These options are always available at the client's request. Kayaking in Virpazar can also be organized for an extra fee. After visiting the waterfall, the road will lead you up to the Ostrog Monastery. The beauty of this monastery, made by St.Vasilije, was written by Napoleon’s colonel and French commander Viala de Somier, who visited the monastery in 1810. He wrote a book about Montenegro before published it in Paris 10 years later. Ostrog Monastery also has relics of a boy named Stanko from Podvraca Village, who was killed by the Turks in 1714. From the terraces of this monastery, there are beautiful views of the Bjelopavlic plain and the Zeta River. In the Upper Monastery, all believers are provided with a bottle of holy water and oil. The monastery complex consists of a church, a large conch, and a series of ground-level buildings that once served as classrooms. The whole complex is surrounded by a high stone fence. At the conclusion of your tour, you will be returned to your point of origin.

    The trip was very well organised. It was very convenient that the guide picked us at the hotel. The guide was very informative, explained for us history of the points that we visited. All stops were very beautiful. The guide was very kind , we were able to ask about anything we need. He gave us hints how to spend free time and what to eat. It is really worth for money. Thank you Dimitrije for the nice trip. It was beyond my expectations !

    Mein heutiger Tourguide war die fabelhafte Sladjana. Die Tour wurde vollständig auf Englisch durchgeführt. Sie hat mir auf den Fahrten zu und zwischen den Ausflugsorten eine Menge Infos über Montenegro und die Umgebung von Podgorica mitgeteilt. Zudem bot sie oft die Möglichkeit anzuhalten, damit ich Fotos machen konnte. An beiden Orten angekommen erzählte sie mir außerdem alles wissenswerte zu dem Kloster und den Wasserfällen. Bei Fragen meinerseits hat sie stets zufriedenstellend und motiviert Antworten gegeben. Eigenständig hat sie angeboten von mir an tollen Kulissen Fotos zu machen, was ich sehr zuvorkommend fand. Perfekt abgerundet wurde die Tour durch ein Besuch und eine kurze Rast bei dem Lokal an den Niagarafällen. Die Agentur als auch den Guide kann ich vollsten empfehlen! Buchung und Organisation haben problemlos geklappt und die knappen 5 Stunden, die ich unterwegs war, haben nachhaltig Impressionen und Eindrücke verschafft! Lieben Dank für die tolle Zeit :-)

    Fantastisk tur og ostrog kloster er så smuk. Min guide havde enorm meget viden og delte med glæde ud af den. Alle spørgsmål jeg havde kunne han svare på eller fandt hurtigt ud af svaret. Jeg spurgte min guide hvad man ellers skulle se i Montenegro og han gav et godt tilbud og kørte mig rundt til de smukkeste seværdigheder i Montenegro. Kan varmt anbefale denne tur til alle
