Itinerary
Start your day with a pickup from your centrally located Dubrovnik hotel, and then travel out of the city by luxury vehicle. While your private guide drives, sit back and relax, admiring the scenic countryside of Župa Dubrovacka Valley and the Konavle region.
Cross the border to Montenegro and travel along the picture-perfect Montenegro coast, typified by sweeping blonde-sand beaches. Pass the UNESCO-listed Bay of Kotor -- Europe’s southernmost fjord --along the way.
Continue to the neighboring village of Perast, lying at the foot of St Elijah Hill. Much of it was destroyed following an earthquake in the late 1970s, but the gorgeous village still exudes a very Baroque feel with its beautiful villas and churches.
Optionally, take a short boat ride the Our Lady of the Rocks island and admire the art stored inside the small chapel (boat ride fee 10€).
Travel to Kotor, and explore this beautifully preserved medieval town. Learn about the town’s important sailing heritage, having had its own merchant navy under the Byzantine Empire. Visit St Tryphon Cathedral, an elegant Romanesque building.
Soak up the views and then head to the coastal town of Budva for lunch (own expense). Enjoy a couple of hours here at leisure, perhaps relaxing on its famous beaches or strolling around the pretty streets. Meet your driver at the pre-arranged time and start your journey back to Dubrovnik, passing along the scenic coastal roads. Enjoy one last treat– a ferry crossing along the Bay of Kotor – and then finish your tour in the late afternoon back at your hotel.

We had a wonderful and full day in Montenegro. Our guide/driver was Milko and he was fabulous. He got off the main road in Croatia and took a secondary, less traveled road to avoid the back up at the border crossing. He was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of both Croatia and Montenegro. He went above and beyond to personalize our trip based on our desires. We stopped at a wonderful restaurant on the way to Perast. We enjoyed walking around Kotor. Milko took us high above the Bay of Kotor for a panoramic view/photo op. Before heading back to Dubrovnik we stopped at Savina Winery for a wine tasting experience. We highly recommend this tour and our guide Milko.
Trying to get a day in Montenegro before heading home after a 7-day tour in Croatia, we booked this tour. Our only real complaint was that the advertisement for the tour placed on Trip Advisor stated that "local guides" (plural) would take us through the history. So we were expecting to meet up with local guides in the little towns to which we were taken. This was our enticement for the relatively high price of the tour. But there were no local guides and we were left on our own. Our driver, who was very skilled, had all the contacts to help us have a wine-tasting and get out to see the Lady of the Rocks. He definitely added to our tour by taking us to the Kotor Cable Car, also known as the Kotor–Lovćen Cable Car, which, according to the internet, is Montenegro’s premier gondola experience, connecting the lower Dub Station to the upper Kuk Station on Mount Lovćen at 1,348 meters above sea level. (And it was amazing!)
We did the Private Montenegro Day Trip from Dubrovnik and loved it. Our guide Matco was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Croatia and Montenegro, and we really enjoyed his perspectives — we learned so much more than we would have on our own. The scenery, especially the Bay of Kotor and Perast, was spectacular. One honest tip: the Croatia–Montenegro border crossing was very slow and time-consuming, so plan for delays. It’s no fault of the guide, just the reality in peak season. A memorable day with a fantastic guide — just go in prepared for the border wait. Highly recommended
The guide was very friendly but the tour is too much in the bus. We got out very early but still caught too much people in the border so we had to wait 4 hours (2 each time) of the day in a line to get out or get in of Croatia. The tour didn't warn before hand so we were not prepared (with books or food) for the waiting. 3h in kotor is also too small of a stop in such a beautyful place sinco 1h is for luch. Both the driver and the guide were very friendly and thoutghful and we are greatfull for that
It was a full day with several stops each one with plenty of time to explore. Robert, our driver and tour guide was so full of facts and knowledge. It made the trip that so enjoyable.
We had a fabulous private day trip to Montenegro with Dragon. He was a very knowledgeable and gracious host and I highly recommend him for your time in the area. He is just full of facts and interesting stories!
it was a day trip to montenegro - and our e i pi patience was amazing !
Exceptional driver and great points of interest. Options to stretch legs Favorite stop was Perast and Kotor.
Most enjoyable. We would highly recommend doing this trip with Robert. He shared his knowledge and the history of the area in a friendly, informative and amusing way making it easy to hear and understand.
I think for what we paid it was a rip off. The guide talked in the journey but then just drops you off to a pick up then gives you a rigid timeframe to be back. You literally do the tour of Kotor yourself. We were slightly late by 5 mins then the mood totally changed for the rest of the trip. I think you are better off going on a scheduled group tour for 1/4 of the price
