Tour Options
Itinerary
The tour starts in Dubrovnik
Admire the views of the Bay of Kotor on your way to Perast and Kotor.
According to legend, the local seamen made an oath to the icon of Madonna and Child which was found on a rock in the sea. They laid a rock in the Bay upon return from each successful voyage, and over time the small island emerged.
Today, you can find the Church of Our Lady of the Rocks on the island. The church contains over 70 works of art, among them the ten-meters long, The Death of the Virgin. The island is accesible by a short boat ride. Alternatively, feel free to explore the town of Perast during your free time here.
Enjoy free time to explore the Kotor Old Town on your own. Explore the narrow streets and attractions such as St. Tryphon Cathedral and the Square of Arms. After, relax and enjoy the sights on the return to Dubrovnik.
Visit the charming town of Budva, famous for its walled Old Town and some of the best beaches Montenegro has to offer. Take up to 2 hours to explore the town before returning to Dubrovnik. This stop is included only in the small group option: Perast, Kotor and Budva.

Sinse the first moment we met our gide, we new this experience was going to be extraordinary. Nikolas was so well prepared for the adventure, with an amazing attitude and disposition all time. He really made this experience unforgettable.
the whole trip was really nice. Maybe try to eat on other restaurants and not the ones they suggest. But the experience and the host Niko is really nice.
Nikolas our guide is 10/10. Dont think twice, just book it!
Tour went smoothly, and we had an amazing time. Niko has been a fantastic tour guide!
Niko was great. The tour was lovely, great value for money and very comfortable.
The excursion group was far too large, with around 40 people. The guide, Niko, communicated arrogantly with some customers and displayed a manipulative attitude throughout the trip regarding certain activities. At the first stop, he led us directly to a boat to visit Our Lady of the Rocks Island without giving us time to think or decide. Before we realized it, we were already paying for the boat trip. We were charged €15, while the normal price is much lower. Tourist scam! We spent only 20 minutes in Perast, which was nowhere near enough. As soon as we moved away from the boat meeting point, Niko became very aggressive regarding delays, even if someone was only one minute late. Another example of manipulation was when he strongly encouraged us to have lunch at a restaurant he recommended, offering a free liqueur and dessert while claiming it was cheaper and better quality than restaurants inside Kotor's Old Town. This turned out to be completely untrue. Once we entered the Old Town, we found many better options. The restaurant he recommended, Konoba Akustik, was expensive, served poor-quality food, and the service was so slow that it left us with very little time to explore the city, less than 2 hours. Additionally, during the walk from the bus parking area to Gate 1 of Kotor Old Town (approximately 15 minutes on foot), Niko walked very fast and far ahead of the group, showing no consideration for people with different physical abilities. Summary: TOURIST SCAM!!!
A tour I dont recommend. The tour guide (Niko) was a little rude for other tourists in tour. And it seems a SCAM. Total experience 40min in Perasts and 3h in Kotor, the rest of the tour inside bus. We arrive to Perast and are conduced direct to the boat to Lady of the rock - they charge 15 euros (money), when in internet says 7 to 13 euros. We are deceived to Lunch at a restaurant because is cheap (and tour guide says inside Kotor is more expensive- LIE); the service took 1:30h (halftime for time into Kotor). It says 11hours and it was just just 9:30h, but this could be a forgotten. Try other company if you go see Kotor.
As a family with teenagers it was a relaxing trip with comfortable bus and nice guide. Niko our guide was exceptionally good at keeping the group involved, entertained, and informed. Definitely recommend.
An amazing day trip led by amazing guide Niko. Niko made everyone welcome, he was knowledgable and full of character. Driver Mr Blanko done a great job. We would definitely recommend this tour!
Our experience was absolutely amazing!!! Our guide Nikolas was outstanding, so personable, funny, knowledgeable and really enhanced our experience! I would highly recommend this to anyone!
