Cycling Tours

How Do Self-Guided Tours Work in Montenegro?

Self-guided tours: Travel independently with the support of our backup service.

With a few exceptions, we offer all our tours as self-guided options, tailored for independent travellers. Enjoy the freedom and flexibility to walk, hike, or bike at your own pace, taking breaks whenever you like, while we organise the logistics for you: 

  • accommodation and breakfast; 
  • luggage transfers; 
  • detailed tour planning; 
  • a comprehensive information package, maps, and GPS trackers. 

We’re always available by phone for emergencies or queries, so you won’t feel alone. Thanks to our established partnerships along all routes, we can ensure quick and efficient help in case of emergencies.

 

Your Responsibility on Self-Guided Tours

While you travel without an accompanying vehicle, it is your responsibility to reach the next hotel every day, even in adverse weather or if you decide not to ride. However, in case of serious trouble (bicycle breakdown, physical emergency, etc.), call our emergency hotline, and we will provide support, whether by sending a van or advising you on public transportation options such as trains and buses. 

Please be prepared to handle minor breakdowns on your own, and for this, we provide repair kits and spare tubes.

What Guided Tours Do We Offer?

Guided tours – Explore and experience with a knowledgeable tour guide.

If you value perfect organisation and would enjoy the security of exploring with an experienced guide, our guided tours are ideal for you. From accommodation to food and transportation – everything is arranged. Our trained and certified guides accompany you throughout your entire trip.

What Meals Are Included?

Breakfast is included at all accommodations and in your package price. Evening meals are available for an additional charge, either at the accommodation or at nearby restaurants. We are happy to provide dining recommendations. 

Most accommodations also offer packed lunch service (€ 5-6); please inform them the evening before your departure.

Which Extra Expenses Can You Expect?

You will need money only for lunch, dinner, and drinks. 

A typical dinner costs between € 15-20, a light lunch is € 8-10, and a litre of red wine ranges from € 10 to € 12. Coffee costs € 1.2-2.4, and a small beer (0.3 l) is € 1.2-1.7. 

Entrance fees to National Parks are € 2-4/ per person, payable at entrance gates. The ferry passage in the Bay of Kotor is € 2/per person. While ATMs are common in most cities and towns, paying with a credit card in remote places may be challenging. Cash is the easiest payment method, and luckily, you won’t need much of it due to the affordable prices in Montenegro.

You should have a moderate fitness level to fully enjoy the tour, or you can take advantage of one of our e-bikes.

What Fitness Level Do the Tours Require?

You should have a moderate fitness level to fully enjoy the tour, or you can take advantage of one of our e-bikes.

What Happens in Case of an Emergency?

Due to the partial remoteness of the tour, it is essential to inform the 3E Travel team in advance of any possible medical conditions. In case of an emergency, always get in touch with us using the local mobile phone we provide 24/7. 

We have a well-established network of institutions and people along the routes who can respond quickly to help you. If you join a guided tour, all our guides are competent in first aid techniques and will handle situations professionally.

What Personal Equipment Should You Bring?

It’s important to layer your clothing for different climates, as our tour may traverse cool high mountain passes one day and warm valley lowlands the next. 

Rain in the mountains can occur unexpectedly. A helmet is a must unless you have made other arrangements with us. 

In the event of lost luggage, we will provide you with a helmet and riding gear until yours arrives.

Essentials:

  • Helmet
  • Suitcase/backpack/travel bag for your main luggage

You can choose from touring bikes, road bikes, or e-bikes for all hard surface tours. MTB tours are indicated separately.

Just show your passport; usually, you have to show it twice, when leaving and again when entering. If you have our luggage transfer service included, please make sure your luggage is not locked.

Is Cycling in Montenegro Safe?

The routing follows small side roads with little traffic. In Montenegro, there are no bike lanes except in the capital of Podgorica and Tivat. You are shuttled to avoid any longer sections on main roads, which might get stressful since main roads in Montenegro are busy and narrow.

What Does Montenegro’s Cuisine Taste Like?

Montenegro’s natural diversity is reflected on your plate or glass. We recommend asking for local dishes which each restaurant will proudly present to you. 

In the northern and central parts, sheep and beef are popular and very delicious. 

In the central part, Podgorica, Cetinje, and Lake Skadar, you’ll find lake fish, vegetables, and of course, a glass of ‘Vranac’ wine to make your day. Always ask for local cheese, as it’s an essential part of Montenegrin cuisine. 

Cheese from Njegusi, Pljevlja, or Kolasin is well-known, but any homemade cheese will match those easily in quality and taste. 

Coastal Montenegro offers fish and seafood. For example, in the Bay of Kotor, we’re happy to organise an oyster and mussel tasting right at the mussel farm – a nice treat while cycling. Another highlight for your taste buds is Montenegrin olive oil, produced all along the coast from Ulcinj to Herceg Novi.

Do You Offer Add-On Food Tasting Experiences?

You can spice up any of our tours with tastings of local products. We encourage you to taste wine, olive oil, honey, dairy, ham, and oysters with wonderful families along the way. 

Wine and food tasting experiences range from € 10 – 25/per person depending on the kind of tasting. 

Please get in touch with us for details.

What Add-On Tours and Activities Can I Book?

Should you wish to delve deeper into a certain topic or the history of a place, please contact us. We gladly organise the perfect expert for you. We can link you to local activity providers offering city tours, bird watching, sea kayaking, (speed) boat tours, crafters, cooking classes, and more.
