Great Trip and Beautiful Country

I completely enjoyed the Montengro tour; each destination was beautiful (mountains, lakes and coast), some walks were more challenging than others, but all showcased the local natural beauty and none were crowded. I learned a lot about the history, culture and religion (we visited a couple of monasteries) of the area. I was the lone American on a tour of Brits (and one Scotsman), but everyone made me feel welcome, it was a well-traveled group and I really appreciated the camaraderie. The hotels were nice overall (4 star), the food was very good (better by the coast), the last destination for 4 nights, Perast, was really special (great scenery, boat rides, beautiful historic Venetian town). I also loved the local wine tasting event, our host was fantastic. I have to give huge thanks to our guide, Nemanja, who had to wrangle a group of 13 people on his own, led all the events, joined us for meals, managed the multiple drivers and kept the entire trip on track. Most walking tours I’ve joined typically trigger a second guide for groups of more than 10 people, but Nemanja had to lead us on his own for 8 days. I think this was his first time leading this itinerary, but he did it with patience, grace and humor. I would definitely travel with Exodus/Headwater again, I had a wonderful experience overall.
