Montenegro · PODGORICA TOURS & EXPERIENCES
The capital is a base rather than a destination: Ostrog, the Moraca canyon, Skadar and the north are all inside a day’s drive. These 15 use it that way, with pickup points, drive times and prices.
A 2-hour Lake Skadar wooden-boat tour from Virpazar, with wildlife stops, time to swim, and wine included in a small English group.
“Amazing tour guide, great fun! Loved being able to swim in the lake, knowledgeable guide, informative.”
Nevidio canyoning near Niksic, Montenegro. Gear, lunch, insurance, and waterproof photo/video are included on a 6-hour adventure.
“We went canyoning today and had an amazing time! The guides were incredibly helpful and understanding, making sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. The route was stunning – set in a beautiful gorge with sections to climb, slide, and swim through. There were some fun jumps, but nothing too extreme. Overall, a fantastic experience in a breathtaking location, with guides who made it even better!”

A 3-hour guided boat trip on Skadar Lake to Kom Monastery, with bird sights, lily pads, wine, and time to swim.
“We took the 3hr trip to Kom monastery. It was the most peaceful trip I've ever been on, it was heavenly. Our guide pointed out various things on route, had warm donuts for us as we boarded (hubby loved that!) and looked after us well. We had plenty of time to swim in the lake on the return leg, the lake was surprisingly very warm. We had a great trip and would definitely recommend”
Private transfers from Podgorica Airport or the city to Budva with punctual drivers, clear communication, and a stress free ride for up to 4.
“Great customer service from start to finish. Would definitely recommend! Smooth trip from the airport to Budva.”
Private Durmitor and Tara River canyon day trip from Podgorica, with Black Lake, Đurđevića Tara Bridge, optional zipline, and possible Ostrog Monastery.
“There is a lot of driving involved relative to the time spent at the main sights and the Tara Canyon was a little disappointing as all the books tell you it’s the second deepest in the world but the bridge is nowhere near the deepest part, which is essentially inaccessible to all but mountaineers. However, you do see a lot of the country. The reason for the five stars is our guide, Vladimir Markovic, who was excellent. As well as being a good guide with perfect English, he was a great travelling companion and we ended the trip as good friends.”
A guided half-day from Podgorica to Skadar Lake, wildlife stops, and a full Mrkan Winery tasting with local food included.
“Our tour guide Milija was excellent and very knowledgeable. Enjoyed every bit of our tour listening to his excellent explanation.”

Lake Skadar boat cruise with swimming, wine and rakija from Virpazar, plus bird spotting and water-lily views in about 3 hours.
“Beautiful scenery a must if you are in the area. Our driver was great with lots of local knowledge. Download the Merlin Bird ID App (free) to tell you about the birds. We had a private tour which was great so we could get in and swim as a family but I did think it was a little pricey at €170”
Small group Montenegrin wine tasting in Godinje with 3 wines, snacks, fruit liqueur, and a walk through heritage village ruins.
“Had the best wine Tour last saturday! We were the first guests of the season, had such a warm welcome from Misko and the family. Really good wines with delicious food. Good conversations and good company. I would definitely recommend this tour. Greetings from Holland.”
A private, English-led trip from Podgorica to the rock-hugging Ostrog Monastery, with scenic driving and Dragan’s detailed stories.
“What a beautiful experience with a stellar guide/driver, Dragan. I was the only participant and so it felt like a private excursion. The drive to the monastery is scenic and not too far from Podgorica. Dragan provided context about the area and its historical settlements and cultural norms. Once at the Monastery he not only provided details about the history he also shared some of the sacred narratives associated with the remains of Saint Basil. The entire experience was peaceful and informative as well as beautiful as the setting is something to see. The coffee afterwards was the the perfect way to end an amazing morning. I highly recommend booking.”
