With a background in managing 5-star restaurants and bars, I've interacted with people worldwide and realized their curiosity about Montenegro. Combined with my passion for biking, kayaking and hiking, it has driven me to transition into tour guiding. So now I'm licensed tour guide and - for the beginning - I would like to show you the best of my hometown. Welcome to Podgorica !

The tour was adequate and lasted as expected, but Nikola struggled to capture the group's attention. There wasn't much coverage of the country's or city's history, and the narration was rather monotonous with some facts presented superficially. However, questions asked were answered.

Nikola is an interesting person. His style is understated but he gives all the important information about Podgorica and Montenegro. Podgorica is a very new city, so there is not as much stuff to see as in other European capitals, but Nikola makes it interesting. Overall I liked the early start time, his delivery and the content of his tour. Recommend!

Okay, Podgorica may not be the typical European capital and won't impress through its architecture and civil engineering. However, Nikola will tell you stories and explain Podgorica history through the ages to make you understand what makes Podgorica look like it does today. Podgorica in all its parts reflects the history of Montenegro, from the Ottoman expansion to WW2 to the Socialist era. You have many cities in one. Podgorica is not just to be visited but it's to be understood. Thank you, Nikola, for a wonderful tour. It was very interesting and educational.

Great tour. Not just insight on the architecture but also able to learn about the history of the city and Montenegro as a whole and life in the communist era. Highly recommended.

Ich hatte eine sehr spannende und informative Tour mit Nikola! Während der Führung habe ich verschiedene Facetten von Podgorica gesehen und gleichzeitig viel über Montenegro und seine Hauptstadt erfahren. Ich kann die Führung sehr weiterempfehlen!
