Ganztägige Gruppenreise der Küste Montenegros von Dubrovnik aus

Wir fanden den Trip sehr interessant und vor allem Mostar sehr beeindruckend. Die Reise haben wir bei Ivana gebucht, die Orga hat perfekt funktioniert. Inklusive war auch eine Führung in Mostar, in der wir persönliche Erfahrungen aus der Kriegszeit berichtet bekommen haben. Wir haben den Trip als tolle Bereicherung des Urlaubs empfunden.

I don't want someone to end up in my situation so wanted to share my not so great experience with this tour group: I signed up with Deep Green Travel for this one day group trip to Montenegro from Dubrovnik. The tour company I wanted to use was fully booked (I had a great experience with them the day before to Motor/Kravice Tours was with Super Tours- which is EXCELLENT with NIKO), so I signed up for this one. I thought these tour groups were basically all the same but I was wrong. First, Deep Green Travel apparently bumped me onto another tour company's roster (Sombrero Tours?) so during pickup, I couldn't find them despite asking all the other bus tour companies that did pickups if I was on their list. After asking a woman Johanna 3x, she said I wasn't on her list, but she was wrong since my name was spelled incorrectly, so I was indeed with her tour. Let me preface that Johanna is lovely and a well meaning tour guide, however, not the best guide for English speaking group since the tour was given in both Spanish (her native language) and her English was not great for giving this type of tour. She had to read from a script the English descriptions of what we were seeing since she wasn't as familiar with the history. In regards to the bus, the Air Conditioning was NOT working so it was very hot and uncomfortable for most of the ride and the bus driver was cranky and arguing with the tour guide when folks on the bus started complaining. In regards to the bus pickups, they start earlier thatn the 7pm start time. I was picked up at 6:40 am and the bus was half full. We then had another 3 stops that took another hour so we weren't on the road for another 45 minutes or so. The border crossings were long and despite asking in advance how long it may take since i heard it could be over an hour, they did not respond. It ended up taking about 45 minutes going to Montenegro and almost 1.5 hours coming back...so instead of a 5 pm return we got back after 5:30pm. Plus for those staying in the Old City, they don't drop you back at the same location so you are dropped off about a 15-20 minute walk on a highway without clear directions. Luckily, someone knew the way in the group. So, defintely recommended going to Montenegro, but NOT with this Deep Green Travel.

My wife and I, both in our early 60s, took a Trip Advisor Tour of Montenegro in October 2024 with Deep Green Tours. The tour was good but we were delayed 1 hour at the Montenegro border on our way in and 30 minutes on our way out. Passports are required! Perast and Kotor are beautiful Adriatic towns located in the Bay of Kotor which has towering mountains surrounding them. Like Dubrovnik, Kotor is a smaller walled ancient city with many churches, shops, and restaurants. Our tour guide Hanna was very knowledgeable and informative. The bus was very comfortable. The only major difficulty is that we paid to have a return ferry (on the water) experience and we did not get what we paid for. Our guide offered, at the last minute, to pay for the boat ride to the Island of the Lady of the Rock but wld not pay for our entry into the church (3 Euro each) so we did not accept. They should have covered the full cost. I believe Trip Advisor owes us a small refund.
