Trip to Montenegro

Niko, our guide, was very helpful and knowledgeable. Montenegro is a beautiful place, Kator is amazing. The only bugbear was the border checks. This takes way too long and the EU needs to use more cameras and people to speed it up.

Day trip to meet Cats of Kotor

It was a nice day trip to Kotor, with just enough time to experience the essence of the old city. I enjoyed visiting the Cat Museum and meeting the many cats there. Whether you are a cat lover or not, I would recommend this tour. My tour guide, Nicolas, was fun and knowledgeable & strict about staying on schedule, but that helped us save time at the border crossing.
