Montenegro small group trips

Late May, June and September give warm days, swimmable sea and fewer crowds. July and August are hot and busy on the coast, so we start early. The trip runs from late May to early October because the Durmitor plateau road can be closed by snow outside those months.

Moderate. You should be happy walking two to three hours a day on cobbles, steps and forest paths, at about 1,450 m in Durmitor. The longest climbs, the Kotor fortress and the Durmitor hike, are optional, and the Dubrovnik walls and Lovćen steps each have an easier way to sit part of them out.

Yes, a fixed one: a room of your own is from CAD 700 more, shown before you book, with no surprise later. Solo guests get the same room standard and the same seat at the table as everyone else. Ask if you would like us to try to match you with a roommate of the same gender.

Seven to twelve guests, never more, and we do not merge groups. Everyone fits in one vehicle, crosses a border quickly and sits at one table at lunch, and a small group can be on the Dubrovnik walls or Mostar's bridge before the crowds.

May to October, and best in June and September. The coast is warm, the mountains are fresh and Kotor is quieter than in July and August, when cruise passengers fill the old town. Snow can linger in Durmitor until late May.

Answer for Montenegro: Kotor, Budva and Durmitor

Moderately. The Kotor walls are about 1,350 uneven steps and 260 m of climb, and you can stop a third of the way up or skip them. Durmitor walks are 3 to 6 km on meadow and forest paths at about 1,500 m, each with an easier choice.

A room of your own is from CAD 645 more, shown before you book, with no surprise later. Solo travellers are welcome on every departure, and the group is small enough that nobody sits alone at dinner.

The small group is 7 to 12 guests. One See Sight Tours guide travels with you from Dubrovnik to Athens and handles the borders, ferries and hotels, with local guides joining where a site requires one, such as Gjirokaster.
