“This was my favorite tour of the 9 stops we made on our cruise! Our tour guide, Armando, was super laid back, knowledgeable and fun. I went with my two teenage boys and we all had a blast. We ride the alpine coaster first and then headed down on our bikes. We stopped in multiple places to take in the beautiful views & take pictures. The roadside cafe/bar we stopped at for a drink had breathtaking panoramic views. I absolutely loved Montenegro and want to come back. I recommend this tour 100%!”
