Montenegro · OSTROG & MONTENEGRIN MONASTERIES
7 reviewed
Ostrog is cut straight into a cliff face and draws pilgrims from across the Balkans. These are the best monastery trips: which reach the upper church rather than stopping at the lower one, which add Morača or the Kom island churches, and what the long drive inland costs.

“Wonderful views along the road, a well thought-out your and great organization! Our guide Igor was amazing, shared a lot of interesting information with us while making sure that everything ran smoothly. I enjoyed every moment of the tour and would absolutely recommend!”
Guided boat tour from Virpazar to Kom Monastery in Skadar Lake National Park, with birdwatching, lily pads, wine, and a lake swim.
“We had an absolutely fantastic time. The boat tour was amazing, the lake is so beautiful. They give you a leaflet that explains everything and provide you with donuts from Montenegro and local wine (lots) which was delicious and you could just help yourself! It is one of the best £13 we’ve ever spent. Plus Braki (our wonderful tour guide - not sure if that’s how you spell it) was the most wonderful person. He found us waiting for the bus and gave us a lift to the train station as the bus stop seemed non-existent. Him and his brother were such lovely people and really engaging. Once again, I…”

“We did the tour today with Moawiyah, he was terrific, very informative, kind, helpful to me (an old lady) was able to sweet talk the boom gates operators into letting us through due to my arthritic knee, (I have no cartilage between the bones) organised breaks and lunch. We would definitely book with him again and also recommend him to family and friends.”

“Vladimir picked us up from our hotel in Kotor on time and was an amazing tour guide the whole day. He made our 2 hr trip to Ostrog feel like 30 minutes. He is so informational about his country.”
Private day trip from Podgorica to Ostrog Monastery, Doclea Roman ruins, and Zeta Nature Park, with pickup and an English guide.
“Amazing views of a different part of montenegro and our guide was very helpful and informative. Very considerate and checking everything was okay. We enjoyed the monastery and views of lake and visit to Montenegrin family. Nice cake, wine, juice. Only criticism would be that some more walking in the beautiful nature park and along the river would make it even better. Such a calm peaceful area and we were yearning to do a good walk.”
