Great Excursion.

Great tour. The caves were beautiful and we enjoyed learning about the history. The tour guide struggled with communication, we believe there was a slight language barrier. The communication leading up to the tour was great. We would highly recommend this excursion.

So worth doing the private option!

If you enjoy speedboats, breathtaking scenery, and seeing Montenegro's most beautiful coastal sights from the water, this is the tour to book. Visiting the Blue Cave, Our Lady of the Rocks, and taking in the stunning coastline from the sea was an unforgettable experience. Our captain, Peter, went above and beyond throughout the tour. He shared personal stories, answered all of our questions, and made the experience feel much more personal than a typical sightseeing trip. We chose not to swim because we had plans after our morning tour, and that actually worked out perfectly. Since we had the boat to ourselves, we had plenty of opportunities to take photos and were able to spend extra time at the locations we enjoyed most instead of stopping for a swim. The flexibility made the tour even better. At the end of the trip, we asked Peter for restaurant recommendations, and he gave us four great options. We chose the steakhouse he recommended, and it ended up being one of the best meals of our entire 17-day trip across Europe. We highly recommend this tour, especially if you're looking for a more personalized experience with an excellent captain and incredible views of Montenegro. This version is a little more engaging and emphasizes both the scenery and Peter's service, making it especially helpful for future travelers.

Nice Day

The beginning was a bit confusing and unorganized. They had a girl at the dock but she knew little to nothing and a sign saying wait here would have been just as effective. The boat ride is mostly just that - a speed boat ride thru the fjord - which was very enjoyable - but I really wouldn’t call it a tour. Blue cave was nice but could not swim in it as small and crowded with boats. We did find a nice place to swim about 10 minutes ride away but only swam for 15-mins - wish longer. Overall nice 3 hour private boat - would recommend.

Request Blasa!!!

This was a great way to see the sights by boat. Balsa was a great guide. He’s very friendly, speaks great English and is accommodating to your special wants/needs. You’d be lucky to have him as a guide!!

Higher then expected

The tour was fascinating. Highly recommended. The tour exceeded my expectations. We also had a swimming break near the Blue cave. Keep it mind that you need to arrive in advance. The city is busy and there a traffic jams.
