I am licensed tour guide born in this beautiful country of Montenegro. I believe that all people, at least once in their lives, should visit Montenegro and it's beautiful nature. It is great for all types of travelers, whether those who like to travel full of adrenaline or those who like slow and easy days. Accordingly, I am ready to offer city tours lasting 2-3 hours, or extended city private tours by car, weekend gastro-wine tours, religion tours, or full-day tours in Montenegro. For more information about private tours don't hesitate to contact me here.

If no schedules are available for the selected date, please contact me. Maybe someone won’t come but didn’t cancel.
If you need to cancel your booking, please try to do so at least 24 hours in advance. Last-minute cancellations make it hard for other walkers who plan ahead and might miss out on the tour because of unavailable spots. Thanks for understanding!
The tour starts in the oldest part of Podgorica city, in front of the Clock Tower, on the side looking at the clock, at Becir Beg Osmanagic Square.
As we walk along the narrow streets of “Old Varosh,” you will see essential monuments and townhouses and learn more about the old part of the city, its medieval ramparts, and the old bridge at the confluence of two rivers.
I will tell you some exciting stories from the Ottoman period to the latest history.
The tour ends in front of the Fountain at Independence Square. The tour takes 2 hours and 15 min. And I stay some extra minutes for all your burning questions.
Additional Information:
The tour includes walking on stairs, but nothing strenuous. Choose walking shoes/sneakers that perform equally well in changing weather conditions. Also, don’t forget to bring water and a hat/sunscreen during summer. I’ll try to find some shade, though :)

The tour will be called off if a hailstorm or heavy rain causes street flooding along the route or makes it unsafe due to hail stones.
