Moraca canyon
Just 10 or 15 minutes after departure and leaving the city, we will immerse ourselves in another world, the canyon of the Morača river, which leaves you breathless with its cliffs and depth of over 1000 m. Driving for about 40 minutes with a couple of stops in the most interesting parts of the canyon, we will enjoy the view of the clear water of the river, and the canyon that the river have been carving through the limestone areas for centuries.
Moraca monastery
After around 1 hour from the start of the tour, we will reach one of the oldest and most interesting monasteries in Montenegro, the Morača Monastery. Built in the middle of the 13th century, for centuries a religious but also an educational center of a part of the country, known for its significant role in the liberation of Montenegro from the Ottoman Empire, it will tell us a lot about the history of the country and the way of life in these parts.
Built in a very interesting place, where the river flows, the stream, in the immediate vicinity of the waterfall, with a nice yard, surrounded by old forests is a wonderful sight to see.
And the interior of the monastery is a story itself. Frescoes and icons made by the best artists will bring you closer to the aesthetic scope of Byzantine artistic expression.
Biogradska Gora National Park
After visiting the monastery, we continue to the north of Montenegro, a region known for its high mountains, old forests, rivers, glacial lakes and the mountain lifestyle. We will enjoy a panoramic drive through the mountainous regions and along the banks of the famous Tara River until we reach the Biogradska Gora National Park and its pearl, Biogradsko Lake.
The park is particularly famous for its old forest, one of only a few larger intact forests in Europe, rich flora and beautiful glacial lakes. We will enjoy walking along the easy path around the lake, admire the impressive examples of woody flora, discover other typical representatives and breathe fresh mountain air.
The park is also a great place for a picnic or tasting local specialties in a nearby restaurant after a nice walk.
Kolasin
In the end, before we head back to Podgorica, it would be a shame not to visit and get to know the Montenegrin mountain center, the charming town of Kolašin, famous for its ski resort, Bjelasica Mountain, tango festival, significant historical role in the struggle for the liberation of Montenegro, but also for quality alcoholic drinks and delicious homemade food.

About Tour Guide Ninoslav M.
Hello,
Hello, I am Nino, licenced tourist guide from Podgorica.
I was born and all my life I have been living in Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro. For many years now I have worked in travel industry, having specially focused on hosting and showing my small but beautiful country to the foreign people. Thanks to all the jobs I did in the past I can say that I am very familiar with all Montenegrin hidden gems. Moreover, since I am very interested in music, nature and volunteering I organized many cultural events, music concerts, poetry nights…
My passion is also birds and learning about flora & fauna. It is my everyday hobby.
So I came to an idea to combine some of my experiences and to offer different and relaxing experience to my guests.
Welcome to Montenegro!

Thank you very much Slava. I am happy to hear again that you loved the tour with me. Thank you for sharing me about many things. Wish you all the best! Cheers!
“Сomplete reboot and a wonderful experience with a sincere person”
Many thanks to Ninoslav for a wonderful tour of the south of Montenegro. We had so little time that we wanted to see as much as possible. Our guide helped us adjust our routes, and we enjoyed beautiful views of the mountains, sea and ancient architecture, listened to stories about the history and life of the country, its heroes. I wanted to climb the mountains, and we succeeded! There were a lot of amazing photos taken and they warm my heart. He also suggested what we could visit another time. We spent the last half day in Podgorica exploring the surrounding area and the cuisine, following the advice of our guide. To be honest, it was a business trip, and I didn’t know if there would be another reason to come, but after two days I simply fell in love with this country. I'm going to find the books and movies we talked about. My son and I felt so warm and welcoming that we didn’t want to leave. We plan to come next year for a longer stay and wish Ninoslav all the best.
