Montenegro Eco Tours

The itinerary was excellent starting and ending on the "big name" places of Kotor and Dubrovnik that everyone knows about, but in between we saw many facets of the Balkans and experienced wonderful scenery at almost every turn and learned a bit about the history of the area too. Most of us were however unaware that we spent over half the trip at 1000m+ in the mountains of Montenegro and Serbia and weren't quite as prepared as we might have been so a little more advice on that (especially for shoulder season itineraries) would have been of benefit. I'd also definitely recommend you spend a couple more days in Dubrovnik if you have the time as the walking tour was great but more time to properly explore is needed. Danielija our tour leader was excellent, thoughtul, helpful and great company. Her suggestions for dinner restaurants were always spot on and the guides she found for us were all first rate.

The accommodation was mixed in terms of comfort, breakfast and location. The itinerary was varied and interesting, comprising a blend of culture, nature and history, with beautiful scenery along the route.. Pity the transport was a bit cramped. The tour leader, Danijela, was exceptional, always smiling, knowledgeable and ready to help with anything. I would recommend this trip even if it only covers snippets of each country.

Loved the 4 countries we visited. Accommodation seemed below explore standards. In several places wifi did not work in room, although it did work in some place outside of room. Hotel Mecavnik was very cold in the room with no heating available. I did not do the optional boat trip on Skadar lake, there was nothing else to do apart from sit at a restaurant for the 2.5 hours while waiting for others to finish the boat trip, it would have been better if there was a good walking area while waiting. Apart from these details, the rest of tge trip was excellent. Daniela our tour leader made everything run smoothly and she really excelled at sharing her knowledge of the area.

A trip which included historical sites, beautiful landscapes and wildlife opportunities. There were many highlights, and a couple of downsides. Because we visited Sarajevo on Sunday afternoon and Monday many of the museums and sights were closed, so a fascinating city was partly unexplored. While we were aware that lifts would not be available, we didn’t know just how many places had many many steps, in particular the Küstendorff resort. But a very enjoyable trip. Already considering the next one

A very varied trip, including time in historic towns like Kotor and Sarajevo, time in the countryside, walks, boat trips and even a narrow gauge railway trip. The roads are good so although it looks like a lot of travel, it was easy going. Two things to note: take seriously the warning about no lifts in hotels. This proved to be true and many of them have lots of steps up and down! Also, it can be very cold up in the mountains in late Sept/Oct while still hot and sunny on the coast so bring clothes for all seasons.

Beautiful route for exploring the landscapes and cultures of Kosovo, Albania and Montenegro! You do need to be fit for these hikes, and even people without knee issues would benefit from the use of poles on some of the steep descents. Excellent transfers from trail to lodging, great guides, wonderful group members and a unique, magical hiking experience!
