★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,344 reviews · 3 hours · from $37Our pick

Review of Kingfisher’s 3-hour Skadar Lake boat tour to Kom Monastery, with wine, wildlife, frescoes, swimming, costs, tips, and drawbacks.

“Would highly recommend this tour. We were a party of 6 (including kids and grandparents) and had a private boat with a brilliant guide who was knowledgeable - just a young student who told us all about the birds, history and was so patient when we overran in time as we loved jumping in the lake so much at the end! Loved the local wine and breakfast doughnuts too! Great value for 3 hours.”

Review of Kingfisher’s Skadar Lake boat tour to Kom Monastery, with birdlife, water lilies, swimming, local wine, and practical planning tips.

“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…”

Explore Cetinje, Lovcen, Skadar Lake, and a family winery on a private Montenegro tour from Podgorica with guide and tastings.

“This was our third trip with Ms Ana, we saw the coast and also added on a customized tour of Ulcinje and Bar with her. We felt very comfortable with her and she understood exactly the kind of things we would enjoy. The wine tasting couldn't be organised due to technical issues at the winery so she took us to try local food for lunch. As for Lovcen it's definitely worth the climb of 400 plus steps to see the most spectacular views of Montenegro ! The weather God's were kind to us and so was Ms Ana as she diligently monitored the weather forecast to ensure we would go…”
