Tours to Montenegro from Almaty: prices from 731,000 ₸

Алып-ұшып, емханадан жан-жағыма қарап, бірден агенттікке кірдім, әжемнің туған күніне теңіз көрсеткім келді, сондықтан Черногорияны таңдадық. Бар қалашығы кішкентай екен, бірақ жағажайдан қалаға жаяу баруға ыңғайлы, ал кешкі ас кезінде үстел үстіндегі шамды жел сөндіріп тастады — сол сәтте ерекше жылулық сезіндім, бағасы да әжемнің зейнетақысына шамалы ғана ауыр тиді, жалпы риза болып қайттым.

Saw mountains right from the doorstep of the room, that made the first day better while I was getting used to the serpentine road such beauty, took my breath away. We got there by rented car, and the road here is a separate kind of quest honestly say. But beaches small pebbles, water clear to the very bottom — I was happy like a child. The manager planned the routes in advance and told me where parking is cheaper, or I'd have gotten lost in those narrow streets of Bar. Tried local food, cheese and prshut won me over the most, in the evening at the market bought a huge piece to take home. Heat was serious, but in the evenings a nice wind from the sea saved me from the stuffiness in the old town. Highly reccomend taking a boat trip along the coast, these are the best three hours of the whole trip. Came back happy, charged up for a year ahead, though my legs still remember those climbs to the fortress.

went to a bar because I needed a break from work and burned out over the year, the choice fell on montenegro spontaneously — took only a return ticket and a booking for the first two nights, the manager just helped pick accommodation away from the party scene so it would be quiet. but the town is small so everything is close anyway, walked around the old town every evening, drank coffee at the same old lady's place and she already recognized me)) the local mountains are genuinely beautiful when you step onto the promenade and watch the sunset, nothing turns white from a view like that honestly, but the food was the surprise — fresh fish and really cheap, tried stuff they never cook at home. came back recharged and angry that the vacation ended so fast, but that's a sign everything went great)

Booked through a local agency, at first I had doubts, but everything went smoothly. In Budva I really liked it — the Old Town is tiny, but everywhere there are stone streets and the smell of the sea — I walked there every evening. Weather at the end of May is super, the water is still refreshing, but you can swim, not like in an ice hole after all. The only thing that bothered me was the parking, I had to leave the car kinda far from the apartment, but it's such a trifle. Came back happy as a clam, the country is fire overall, I'll definitely come back again.

Booked a full-day tour and thought it would be boring but it turned out just right. small group in a minibus, the guide told stories about local wars as if he was there himself sparks were flying from his eyes and I really got into it even though I generally hate history lectures, in Tivat the waterfront is clean enough to squeak. for that money not a waste at all

iskala kuda by sgonyat na paru nedel chtoby ne ochen dorogo i bez viz etih duratskih, grazhdanstvo u menya samo po sebe ne prostoe tak chto vybor srazu pal na Chernogoriyu i Kotor uzhe videla kuchu foto v instagrame u podrugi, v itoge cherez agentstvo vzyala tur potomu chto s nih spros i sami vse organizuyut, priletela i vlyubilas v etot gorod, starye steny pryamo nad golovoy, kotiki vezde kak sumasshedshie, kstati mestnyy syr s olivkami kupila na rynke v pervyy zhe den i slopala zabyv pro uzhin, nemnozhko boyalas chto budet tolpa narodu v aprele no vse bylo kruto, gulyala po naberezhnoy s kofe, podnimalas na krepost – nogi gudeli znatno, zato vidy takie kak na kartinke i ne sovrali, ochen klassno chto vokrug tiho i mnogo zeleni, odnazhdy poshli na katere pokatalis, voda prozrachnaya, paltsy za bortom zhalko prishlos ubrat bystro holodnaya. obchno cherez nedelyu mne vse nadoedaet i hochetsya domoy, a tut pobyla vse dni i esche malo pokazalos

Poehala v Chernogoriyu po rabote, a zaodno hotela mame more pokazat — nedaleko i bez bolshih trat. Hertseg-Novi vybrali po sovetu znakomoy, ona skazala, chto tam tiho i lestnits mnogo. Pro lestnitsy ne sovrala, na vtoroy den koleni gudeli tak, chto ya uzhe ne ponimala, eto ya idu ili menya kachaet. Menedzher v ofise otgovarival brat avtobus, no ya i ne sobiralas — s mamoy luchshe peshkom, hotya by po naberezhnoy. Zato kazhdyy vecher sideli na kamnyah u vody i smotreli, kak solntse saditsya pryamo v more. Krasivo, da, no glavnoe — tiho, nikto ne lezet s magnitikami. Mama do sih por vspominaet krasnye cherepichnye kryshi, a ya — chto v moem frappe lda bylo bolshe, chem kofe. V marte tam esche prohladno, kupatsya ne vyshlo, no nam i ne nado bylo

Took a tour to Montenegro, Kotor — and didn't regret it, the city is genuinely beautiful, though I expected worse, honestly, heard so much about crowds of tourists. But we walked the old streets early in the morning and touched the cold stones of the fortress walls — that feeling of history you can't replace with anything, no photos will convey it. Came back happy as a clam, recommend it, though one day was rainy, but it didn't stop us)))

Kotor wouldn’t let me go all five days, even though we actually came there for work — shooting a wedding video for a friend of ours, we had to give her a flash drive with last year’s clip and well also check out the locations. Contrary to expectations, the town itself turned out really lively, the viaducts and old town with its cats and wet cobblestones after rain created some weird calm, even wandering up and down those stairs didn’t get boring, though locals say it’s dead quiet here in winter, guess we got lucky with the weather. If you’re nearby — stop by the bakery by the city gates, it’s finger-lickin good, and bring headphones, cause the church bells here hammer every half hour and only they can save you from them.

Қара жолдың кішкентай тауларына қарап қайттым, Херцег-Нови деген қалашықтың өзі – бір үлкен баспалдақ сияқты. Ештеңе істемедім, күні бойы жағажайда жаттым да, кешке қарай қаланы араладым, бірақ сол шынымен де жеткілікті болды, өйткені миыңды өшіретін орын керек болса – дәл сол жер. Тау мен теңіз бір-біріне тым жақын орналасқан, соған қарамастан бәрі өте үйлесімді.

changed my passport at the last moment and the tour operator at the kazakh agency said we’d make it in time, so we flew to Tivat with one connection and right from the airport a Russian-speaking driver picked us up and the airport there is tiny and you grab your suitcases off the belt yourself the flight attendants said Budva is beautiful but we stayed in Tivat by the sea we were also on yachts expensive but that pizzeria on the waterfront... how I remember it the smell of basil and thin dough from a wood-fired oven, though we handled the heat badly - even in the evening. the weather we were lucky with actually in August there’s always wind from the sea, tons of free pebble beaches and the water crystal clear you could see crabs darting along the bottom but the stones are killer you won’t go in without flip-flops, and in the mountains above the town it’s great to walk we looked at the bay from above then you go down and buy homemade cheese at the market from a Montenegrin grandma we didn’t even need language, we just communicated with gestures

Applied for a Montenegro visa, and it turned out a tour came along too, took it with a flight and a couple nights in Tivat — I just needed to stretch my legs after gray days, didn’t really pick and choose. Now I get why people praise this arrhythmic promenade, spent an hour walking along the water and checking out yachts almost with no people around, then devoured a huge portion of Montenegrin flatbreads right by the pier, tasty and filling. The airport is genuinely tiny, at departure there was a crazy crowd, but otherwise the trip went smooth, no special wow, but I don’t regret the time spent.

the heat was insane but we actually fled from it in astana to the seaside, a guy from work said that through this agency everything went smoothly for him so here i came, the manager was just putting together our transfer and gave a couple of tips where to eat properly, didnt push anything extra. we just took a hotel and the sea, didnt rent a car because i was afraid id get carsick on the serpentines — and rightfully so, we even walked to the fortress on foot, and the views there are such that all five days of knee training paid off, they say its funny to go down but ill say its worth it just once to see this. everywhere the food was great especially the fish, i generally dont like it but here i ate it and i still have the feeling of that lemon sauce on my tongue, wine was also cheaper than water in some places… in the evening we sat on the promenade and just dumbly stared at the yachts, this local pace sucks you in very quickly. i came back of course tanned after the plane and work, but happy as a clam with the vacation, next year i want to go to montenegro again but already. ill find the way myself, will turn to them again without a word)) and everything was charged clearly as agreed, nothing was padded.

I went to Kotor and fell in love. The hotel was kinda average, but the sea was really close, I just had to stick my nose out of the room and there it was. The manager from the agency helped with the transfer while I was frantically looking for how to get to the old town myself – it turned out even cheaper than catching a taxi. In Kotor those mountains prop you up on one side and the water on the other, insanely beautiful but weird how cramped everything is. Found a coffee place near the waterfront and the coffee was so strong the spoon almost stood up in it but I did see turtles by the walls, they're so unbothered like they've been living there for a hundred years. In the evening I climbed up to the fortress, thought I'd die but the views from up there are real bliss. locals are cool, a vendor at the market shoved a fig at me to try and didn't even take money for a handful)). I spent a couple of days lying on a sunbed with zero thoughts, from the balcony a view of other people's roofs and those bells go boom in some low-key way. Came back happy, liked everything but I carried pizza from the bakery across the whole city just to scarf it down with a view of the bay – now I can definitely say the trip was a success

went to a travel agency for a visa to montenegro, didn’t even think it would be that fast and the price is normal. the bar turned out prettier than budva honestly – there at least is an old town with alleys and in budva just a promenade and crowds of people in december, swimming we didn’t go of course but it’s nice to walk. a hotel with a heated poool that we paid extra for on the spot turned out to be more precisely the pool was not heated, but we ran around the mountains so much that we just layed on sunbeds and weren’t even upset. yesterday first thing checked the bill – everything was charged exactly as in the contract…)

The beach really is not far, five minutes on foot, but the crowd — a mob. The water is clean, that's true, went in off the pier and you can see the bottom right away, the stones are slippery though pretty. And our hotel — well, meh: breakfasts are monotonous, got boring after three days. Went on a tour to the Old Town through their agency — nice that they picked us up right from the door, and the guide turned out to be lively. Though the local wine at the tasting seemed sour, but that's more of an acquired taste, came back overall satisfied!))

Everything was thought through from start to finish in one visit to their office, in the end we went to Budva exactly on this tour, though at first we had doubts. Took the standard week-long package, at the hotel the room had a sea view and the AC worked quietly, which is rare; the food was filling, but you had to reserve sunbeds on the beach with towels at seven in the morning. Not that it really got to me, but the weather was fantastic and I swam plenty, so I came back quite satisfied (and I'm already telling everyone to go) )))

Two weeks in Tivat flew by like one day, though the weather in April was moody, but me and my wife even liked that there was no heat and no crowds. Found on our own (through a local agency, by the way, all clear-cut) a small guesthouse right by the sea — view from the window, coffee and croissants on the terrace every morning. Came back home completely recharged, and already missing that smell of pines and salt water ()))

here goes: trip to budva worked out, although i braced for the worst after some reviews online. the town itself is fine, i crawled all over the old quarter, those narrow streets and the smell of whitewash, you feel like you're on a movie set for something medieval (though tourists packed like sardines). the sea in april felt a bit cold — i didn't dare go in, just waded up to my waist, my legs went numb right away, but the hooded jacket saved me from the morning wind on the promenade. local food is predictable, but i found this one pastry shop near the beach where the cinnamon buns were so warm and sticky i went back three times in a row, that beat any restaurant. the mountain tour i bought right on the spot at a local kiosk, no regrets, the views from the lookout — yeah, i'll admit even a dry old stick like me gets hooked by nature. the travel agency in Almaty delivered with the transfer, picked us up on time, drove us the ac worked, which for me is always a sore point after past trips. but as usual there was a downside — the apartment had a view of a construction site, and at six in the morning the workers started banging away at something, so i slept with earplugs and the price tags in budva are brutal. apart from that, - a solid four for the fact that in a week i not only didn't get tired, but kinda rebooted. might go again in the fall, for sure.
