Violaine quickly put together a wonderful itinerary for a first time visit to Albania and Montenegro. Her knowledge of the countries, the driving conditions, the available accommodations and unique activities was a huge plus. She patiently priced out several options for us to consider and thoughtfully responded to our feedback. Communication was professional, prompt and detailed. We were well-prepared in advance of our departure.

Upon arrival, we were met in-person by Armada who was a great resource throughout our journey. All of our questions were answered in a very timely manner. It was reassuring to know help was always available if need be, including assistance with a parking ticket. When a small and unforeseen issue arose with a local guide, Violaine went out of her way to make things right.

We had an amazing time in no small part due to the detailed preparation, expertise and execution of Violaine and her team. Many thanks.

Nice location. Close to beach and promenade. Clean, well-appointed rooms. Blackout shades to curb heat very much appreciated. Super helpful staff who translated complex process for paying parking ticket. Certain common areas lacked air conditioning.

A unique experience in the southern mountains. Local staff extremely helpful and attentive. Very good food. Views from rooms outstanding. Special kudos to our hiking guide Mujo who was exceptionally kind and patient when path proved very strenuous for me. Thanks also to Astrid who arranged a gift of local specialities for my sister to celebrate her birthday.

Thank you so much, Patrice, for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review! I’m really happy to hear that your first self-drive adventure through Albania and Montenegro was such a success and that you felt well prepared and supported throughout the journey.

It was a real pleasure working with you to create the itinerary and adjust the different options along the way. I’m especially glad that the combination of accommodations and experiences allowed you to discover so many different sides of both countries, from Nivica and Berat to Lake Skadar and the Bay of Kotor.

Thank you as well for your lovely words about Armada and the rest of our local team. Knowing that you felt you always had someone available to help when needed is very important to us.

I’m also delighted that the little birthday surprises for your sister made the trip even more special! 😊

Thank you again for your trust and for choosing us to organize this adventure. It was a pleasure accompanying you both, and I hope you came home with many wonderful memories of Albania and Montenegro!

Warm regards,
Violaine

My Montenegro vacation was just perfect! I did miss out on the initial hotels I had liked but the substitute ones were good too and I enjoyed all the 3 base towns and the stays and of course the driver and car at disposal was a blessing without having to worrying about anything. Even for supermarkets or dinners I was able to easily commute without having to worry about local transport. Perfect balance of mountains , old towns and the beaches of course. Thank you to all who helped me plan this and live this vacation. Violaine and Ivan and everyone.

Ullas,

Thank you for your feedback!

I'm very happy to hear that you enjoyed your trip and that the balance between the mountains, old towns, and coastline was just right for you. I'm also glad that the private driver made the experience comfortable and hassle-free.

Thank you for your trust, and I'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Ivan and the rest of the team.

Hopefully we'll have the pleasure of helping you plan another trip in the Balkans, or elsewhere, in the future!

All the best,

Violaine

We loved Montenegro and the itinerary planned by Nikola and Antonia made it an exceptional vacation for my sisters and myself. Our guides Anna Maria, Igor and Dajan were knowledgeable and a great fit for us. They not only informed us of the rich history of the area, but also so much about modern life and culture. Milos was our driver on 3 separate occasions and was a master on the serpentine roads and great fun to talk to. Highlights of our trip were the old towns of Kotor, Budva and Cavtat, Lake Skadar, Ostrong Monastery, Lovćen National Park and Durmitor National Park. All our accommodations were wonderful. Everything went so smoothly and Nikola was communicating with us every step of the way. Thanks Kimkim for a memorable trip!

The Jeep Tour Through Durmitor National Park was absolutely wonderful. The park itself is beautiful, and even though it got a bit cloudy and rainy later in the day, we still had a fantastic time. Our guide Dejan was knowledgeable and we got along really well. A beautiful day in a stunning park.

The Guided Tour of Skadar Lake with a Traditional Boat Ride was great. The guide was nice, although not as dynamic as some of the other guides we had. We especially enjoyed the boat ride and the lovely scenery.

The Day Trip to Cetinje & Lovćen was a mixed experience. Our guide Igor was wonderful and Lovćen was incredible, a true highlight with beautiful scenery. However, Cetinje just didn't impress us as much as we thought it would. If someone asked me, I'd say it's okay to skip it if you're short on time.
