Meeting the Farmers on a Private Cultural Tour

A private cultural tour of a family farm in Montenegro is an eye opening experience.

It teaches us that there is more to traveling than just visiting world-known places and seeing the landmarks.

After all, aren’t local traditions and cultures what really stays with you long after your trip is completed? Moreover, don’t the people you have met find their ways into most of your traveling stories? And don’t they enrichen the experience?

Well, here is a tour that divulges the true meaning of traveling. Connection.

Learning History and Forming Connections on a Private Cultural Tour

This private cultural tour takes you from Kotor to Grahovo, a historical settlement in the northwestern part of Montenegro. But, you won’t be exploring the settlement on your own. On the contrary, the journey takes us to a family farm, where you meet Đorđe, Anita, and their three sons.

The entire family is actively involved in the production and cultivation of organic vegetables. So, you will get to see the process first-hand, and the hosts will be happy to share their methods. If, thus, you are a vegetable growing enthusiast, this family will have a lot to teach you. Who knows, they may even let you in on a few trade secrets.

But, their stories go beyond vegetable production. Having spent their lives in Grahovo, Đorđe and Anita have a lot to say about the history of the village. Furthermore, you will get to know them better through their stories of the history of their own family. It is through those personal stories that we form real connections.

The privilege of a private tour lies in the fact that you can choose your activities. Apart from touring the farm, where you will see houses built more than 200 years ago, you can take a tour of the village itself. Visit the lake. Learn about the history of the monuments. Or, go on a short hiking adventure if you prefer a more active approach.

Whatever you choose, the welcoming spirit of the locals will make your journey that much more enjoyable. Thus shedding light on the true value of traveling – meeting people.

Connecting Over a Traditional Meal

This private cultural tour is all about forming connections and reveling in the history of Grahovo.

And, could there possibly be a better way of doing that than over a traditional lunch? You get to taste the homemade food and drinks made by the family you’re visiting. So, sit back and enjoy your stay in Grahovo, as it is about to exceed all your expectations.

At the end of our day, we take a ride to Kotor via the Austro-Hungarian serpentine road. Thus, the drive back to the city will be filled with more stories of Montenegrin history. As well as with sharing impressions of the amazing day we had.
