★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 49 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $38

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…”

8.Explore Skadar Lake in Private 2 hour Boat Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 20 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $120

Review of a private two-hour Skadar Lake boat cruise from Virpazar, with birdlife, Lesendro Fortress, swimming, wine, and practical tips.

“Lake Skadar is the largest freshwater lake in the Balkans. We booked online with Victor - very easy. The meeting point description was precise. We were escorted by Ivana to our boat and Captain Boban. It was a beautiful autumn day with mild temperature, blue sky, and sunshine. Ivana spoke excellent English, but unfortunately the captain did not and Ivana did not accompany us on the boat ride. The boat was comfortable with seat pads (a nice touch) and a covered area if one wanted to be out of the sun. The engine was surprisingly quiet, which added to the enjoyment of the scenery. We saw lots of birds, but…”

Review of the private Skadar Lake and Virpazar trip from Podgorica, with boat options, mountain views, practical tips, value, and drawbacks.

“This was not your usual "dine & dash" experience - we were able to sip leisurely, enjoy some apps, and even had the wine master/owner sit with us and enjoy tastings of a number of wines and liquors. Dimitri, our guide from Mont Travelers seemed like he was one of the family and the afternoon ended up feeling like we were spending time with new-found friends. Dimitri himself had a solid understanding of the wine we were tasting, explaining the grapes and processes, and once we were joined by the winemaster we were consumed by his enthusiasm for his vineyard, gardens, and wines. The side trip for a river boat…”

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…”

Review of a Podgorica to Albania day trip with Niagara Waterfalls, Rozafa Castle, Shkodra, Lake Skadar, tips, value, and drawbacks.

“I’ll start with what went well: Our driver kept us safe and his car was comfortable and clean. He seemed like a nice person. The Razafa castle was super interesting. What was disappointing: Our “guide” Petar was more of a driver than a guide. He admitted he had only been to Albania one time before taking tour groups there. He shared nothing with us about Albania’s culture, history, customs. In fact, he rarely spoke. When he dropped us in Shkodra, he gave us no recommendations of what to go see or where to eat - nothing. He added no value other than driving us. If we’d known we’d have to…”
