Worth, worth, worth - From the moment we contacted the tour operator, we felt in great hands. Even though we were not able to take the tour due to a personal, tricky situation; the tour operator and his team focused on helping us, total strangers and foreign to their country, to solve the issues with peace of mind. This immediately lets us know, we can trust this operator 100%. Do not hesitate to book the tour. You are in great hands. We are looking forward to coming back to take this tour.

The Guide was fluent in English. - I participated alone from Japan. The majority were Westerners, and from Asia there was a Hong Konger, a Chinese and a Korean. Basically, I participated alone, and everyone was quite fluent in English. The Guide was fluent in English and had a lot of care. We went around all the sightseeing spots we planned. It's an English tour, so if you don't have confidence in your English, it can be tough, but the tour is highly recommended as it allows you to travel efficiently in one day to sightseeing spots near Kotor.

Awesome all day tour - This tour is a great way to see many places in a single day! It was a great way to escape the coastal heat, too. So, be prepared to ride in the car for many hours throughout the day. The scenery is beautiful and not having to stress over driving or navigating was so worth it! There are stops for breakfast and lunch at restaurants so plan to spend about 6 euros on breakfast and 20 euros on lunch. Also, bring 5 euro in cash for entry to the national park and 30 euros if you want to zip line. Everything was worth the money we just weren’t expecting to have these other costs especially needing cash for them. Our tour guide Vania was great!

Montenegro snapshot - We were iniatially a bit daunted by the 13 hour time frame for this bus tour but time just flew by. The day was great and so diverse in what we did and saw and were ably guided by Vania in our comfortable 22 seater bus (there were 18 passengers on this day). Vania included a good hsitory lesson about her country along with rlevant music interludes. I did the zip line across the gorge at Tara River Canyon, a short ride time but exhilarating. Had a swim in the Black Lake in Durmitor National Park before heading up to Ostrog Monastery. The monastery was well worth the visit along with views along the twisty road getting up and down from it. Overall we had a fabulous time.

Amazing experience - The trip was amazing. Everyone was so friendly and our guide Igor was enthusiastic and kind. It is a very long day but the views are worth it. We got a taxi from the meeting point in Herceg Novi which took us to Kotor where the 360 monte office is, we then met with others on the trip and got on the mini bus. From there we climbed up the mountains which gave us beautiful views across the bay of Kotor and were able to stop for photos. We then had a lovely breakfast before going to the Tara Canyon. We were able to zip line across the canyon for €30 which I would definitely recommend doing as the views were incredible! After this we went to the Black Lake which was very serene- so so pretty and very relaxing. The lake and mountains surrounding are just amazing. We then had some lunch and went to the Monastery which is fascinating to look around. Would definitely recommend if in Montenegro or even as a day trip from Dubrovnik!

Great Tour company, but too long tour - Our guide, Igor, was very friendly and a great tour guide. The stops at Tara Canyon, Black Lake and Ostrog monastery were great, but a little short. They had to be short, because the trip is so long, and if we spent more time we wouldn’t be back in town until very late. Unfortunately that means that most of the time on this tour is spent driving. Thankfully, the airconditioning in the minibus was great and the driver was good as well. All in all I had a good time, but if I could choose again, then I would probably choose the same company (360Monte) but a different tour.
