An absolutely wonderful and unforgettable experience
What an amazing experience from start to finish, petar, our guide picked us up from our hotel, and took us on a fantastic tour through the beautiful hills of Montenegro, visiting some churches and a nunnery along the way. The real highlight was being welcomed into Rajko home, a lovely man who lives in his family’s 250 year history home, he grows his own veggies and grapes and makes wine. We had a delicious meal with a lot of his homegrown produce, some local cured meats and cheese, and quite a lot of his wine … he is very hospitable. It was such a special evening, full of laughter , great company and a real taste of Montenegrin life and culture. We felt so welcome, it was so much more than just a sightseeing tour. One of those experiences that will stay with us for a long time, and a real highlight of our holiday, we couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Thank you Petar and Rajko for a memorable time.

Highlight of Our Trip
We thought we were signing up for a tour of the hills behind Budva. We ended up with fascinating monastery history, a meal we’re still talking about, and so many laughs that our cheeks hurt. Petar was a wonderful guide—full of stories and generous with his time. Then Rajko welcomed us into his home for an incredible meal made with food from his garden, accompanied by homemade wine. It felt less like a tour stop and more like being invited over by a friend. Nothing felt rushed, and the whole day was warm, funny, and memorable. If you’re in Budva, spend a day with Petar and Rajko. It was the highlight of our trip!

Simply the best experience
I cannot recommend this enough. Petar was the best guide and provided so many tips and really allowed us to see this beautiful country away from the tourist crowds. Fantastic hosts, fantastic food and fantastic views. Do this trip early in your holiday as Petar will help you plan the rest! He is so passionate about his home and so genuine and helpful. You will love it!
Response from the operator: Dear Ella, you were the best Irish people I met so far ☺️ I was really honoured to guide you and show you the small part of my beautiful country. Next time, we will go to the north 💪

Unforgettable Evening of Montenegrin Culture & Hospitality
What a wonderful evening exploring Montenegro’s culture and heritage! Our guide, Petar, was exceptionally kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the country’s history. We loved learning about each monastery, hearing the stories behind them, and admiring their beautiful architecture and religious significance. To top off an already incredible evening, we enjoyed a fantastic homemade meal at a charming 200-year-old stone home nestled in the hills above Budva. Our host, Rajko, was just as warm and welcoming. He gave us a tour of his beautiful garden, shared his homemade wine, and treated us to breathtaking views that made the experience even more memorable. This tour was the perfect combination of history, culture, hospitality, authentic local cuisine, amazing wine and of course rakija !! We highly, highly recommend it to anyone visiting Montenegro!
Response from the operator: Dear Lisa, it was a great pleasure meeting you and your family. I really hope we would have the opportunity to meet again in the future. Cheers! 🍷

Unique local gastro experience in hills above Budva: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Budva.
How much does Unique local gastro experience in hills above Budva cost?
+
Prices start at $154 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Budva usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Unique local gastro experience in hills above Budva take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Budva is not rushed.
Is Unique local gastro experience in hills above Budva worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 34 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Budva, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Unique local gastro experience in hills above Budva suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Unique local gastro experience in hills above Budva?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Budva can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Budva and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Unique local gastro experience in hills above Budva start and how do I get there?
+

When is the best time to visit Budva?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Budva?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
