Itinerary
Start your tour with a pickup from your central Dubrovnik hotel. Board your private, air-conditioned vehicle and admire Croatia’s coastline on route to Montenegro. As this is a private tour, feel free to ask your guide any questions during your tour.
After roughly an hour, cross into Montenegro. Trace the breathtaking, mountain-ringed Bay of Kotor (Boka Kotorska), and arrive at Kotor, the beautiful walled town at its head. On arrival, explore independently.. Then, enter via a gate in the 9th century walls, and discover the gorgeous Venetian lanes and squares lined with stone churches and mansions. As you look around, be sure to visit the town's showpiece, Saint Tryphon’s Cathedral. Dating from the 12th century, this twin-towered church boasts a silver altar screen and the remains of St Tryphon, Kotor’s patron saint. Break for lunch (own expense) at a restaurant, and if you wish, choose to spend more time in Kotor, or ask your guide to drive you to nearby Perast, also on the bay.
Explore this tiny Venetian gem and then spend time here at leisure, perhaps absorbing the lovely views over the island monastery of St George. Consider taking an optional boat ride to the man-made island, Our Lady of the Rocks.

Bus driver, bus and Montenegro tour was great, however Niko as a tour guide needs some extensive training on communication and professionalism. He talks too much, repeated the same mundane stuff many times ( where to stand at the security post, not to blink your eyes, etc) . Our entire group felt as if we are 8-10 year olds going on a school trip with a teacher or chaperone.. Moreover, he 'forced' most of us to lunch at the designated place which was entirely optional. When we didn't want to, he showed some attitude - you can't do that just to get commissions from the restaurant. He also didn't return us the extra money we paid for the tourist tax right away when he had the exact change from other passengers. Even when we reached the 2nd stop as part of the tour, he didn't communicate to the entire group that the ferry to the island will cost extra. Anna, on the other hand on our Bosnia tour, was fantastic. I would not use the same tour if Niko happens to be the tour guide. I got a headache from listening to his incessant talking every few minutes about redundant things. He also didn't have a good sense of humor to make the tour lively or shared much important information about the different cities we visited..
Restaurant (Pepe Nero) recommended by driver cum guide at Kotor was really good and perfect. The homemade apple pie is must eat item.
We loved this excursion! We had a great time in Kotor and Perast. Our guide, Robert, was very knowledgeable.
Interesting and beautiful trip to Montenegro We learned from your history, your culture We liked the villages by the sea Good responsible driver and entertaining very professional
I was thoroughly impressed with Dejan (Driver/Guide) as well as Montenegro! Dejan made a spot on recommendation to skip Budva, which was included in the trip and we toured Bosnia instead. This decision alone saved us a 4 to 5 hours wait at the border on the return drive to Croatia. He possesses a balanced knowledge of the areas we toured and an excellent sense of humor, which made the drive enjoyable and entertaining. The detour to Bosnia was time saving as well as a cultural PLUS!! I recommend the Montenegro trip, Dejan as a guide and an extra day in Montenegro if you have the time.
Zeljan Zach was extremely professional and highly recommend! Us customer top tour guide. He is an ambassador of Dubronovik tourism. Very safe driver and very patient. Very knowledgeable with the history of ex Yugoslavia and Croatia. Very satisfied with more information and planning on coming back next year. High class trip. We did 2 tours with him and requested him to take us on the tours. Good introduce company Super Tours Dubronovik. Fabulous tours both days. Very appreciated!
Had an amazing trip! Our tour guides, Zach, was amazing! He was very informative and professional and really helped make it a great day. Would highly recommend
Three friends and I did the private tour of Montenegro on 06/26 with Zach Z. And it was fantastic! Zach was so professional and thoughtful- he was the best tour guide we had through our time in Croatia and made the experience a 10/10!
What an excellent excursion while visiting Croatia! Our guide Zach Zeljan was really what put it over the top. He was extremely professional and thoughtful in his approach to the trip. He made sure that we had everything we needed from passports to supplies, and even some drinking water for us when we were very parched. He was very knowledgeable and had great insight on all of the best spots to go to in and around Montenegro. You could tell that he was well liked by many people in the area as he had good relationships with local bars and shops and was able to get us deals.
We had a lovely time exploring the locations on the tour and enjoyed some good food as well. Our guide, Dejan, was excellent and he was very informative. He was funny and made the journeys between each location enjoyable. Would recommend!
