Is cycling in Montenegro safe?
+
Routing follows small side roads with little traffic. Montenegro has no bike lanes except in Podgorica and Tivat. You are shuttled to avoid 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. In northern and central parts, sheep and beef are popular and delicious. In central areas like Podgorica, Cetinje, and Lake Skadar, find lake fish, vegetables, and 'Vranac' wine. Always ask for local cheese. Coastal Montenegro offers fish and seafood. Montenegrin olive oil, produced along the coast from Ulcinj to Herceg Novi, is another treat.
Do you offer add-on food tasting experiences?
+
You can enhance any tour with local product tastings including 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. Contact us for details.
