Montenegro offers remarkable diversity in a compact territory: the fjords of Kotor Bay, the mountainous massifs of national parks, and centuries-old Orthodox heritage. Private tours allow you to adapt the pace to your interests, while small group travels with a maximum of 10 people encourage interaction and conviviality. Most travelers choose 10 to 15 days to cover the country's three main facets, sometimes complemented by an extension to Albania or Bosnia and Herzegovina.
