Itinerary
Perast is one of the best-preserved towns on the entire Adriatic coast. It forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Natural and Culturo-Historical Region of Kotor. Venetian-era palaces, squares, and churches are beautifully preserved as reminders of Perat’s golden age as a trading port and maritime training center.
Our Lady of the Rocks is one of the two islets off the coast of Perast in the Bay of Kotor, Montenegro (the other being Sveti Đorđe island). It is an artificial island created by a bulwark of rocks and by sinking old and seized ships loaded with rocks. The Catholic Church of Our Lady of the Rocks is the largest building on the islet and has a museum attached to it. There is also a small gift shop close to the church and a navigation light at the western end of the islet.

The old town – that is the most famous part of Kotor, where the Kotor history, culture, and tradition are being preserved. The old town of Kotor has a great number of monuments of medieval architecture: churches, cathedrals, palaces, and museums. Its beauty is complemented by the multitude of narrow streets, squares, and markets. The old town of Kotor stands out also by the great number of stylishly made gates, palaces of wealthy families, and a great number of stairs. The old nucleus of Kotor today is considered to be the best preserved medieval urban entity in the Mediterranean. The largest and the most impressive are, by all means, city bulwarks which surround the town.

Our guide was very good. He shared so much wonderful information and history on Montenegro. The cable car was fantastic and he took the fear of heights away for me. We have recommended this tour to so many since our fabulous experience.
Luka was a wonderful tour guide showing us the highlights of Kotor. We started with a boat ride to the Lady of the Rock with stunning views. Then went to the cable car to see even better views. Finally we stepped back in time with shopping in Old Town.
We had a beautiful day in Kotor. It truly was one of our favorite stops on our cruise. The church was beautiful, and the views from the cable car at the top of Kotor were breathtaking. Our guide, Wolf, was fantastic. He knew tons of history, drove us around in a private vehicle and shared his personal life experiences with us too. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and hope to return to Kotor in the future.
Vassily was fantastic. He gave clear explanations of the culture of Kotor and carefully explained the sights on the tour. The cable car ride was the highlight and the Lady of the Rocks Church was unique. This was a tour suitable for almost everyone..
Brilliant experience. Eric was very knowledgeable as well as helpful - and added to what was a unique experience. Highly recommended!
It was an amazing tour. Our guide was knowledgeable about the area and was able to get us in everywhere quickly. We didn't waste time standing in lines!
The new cable car excursion was fantastic, with magnificent views and picture opportunities. Our tour guide, Nicholas was a native of the area and added so much to the richness of the experience. Also guiding us to the town of Perast and Lady of the Rock Church. So much tradition in this beautiful and quaint coastal and sea town. Words cannot really describe the feeling you get by just absorbing this place.
The country is beautiful and Luke our guide was amazing and very helpful he made us feel like family. The experience was perfect and I would repeat it again only with Luke
Vasilly was an excellent guide: helpful, friendly, smart and informative. He worked with us to make sure we saw everything we wanted while making it back to our ship at the necessary time. Not only did we learn about the beautiful things we saw and experienced, we learned about history and life in Kotor and Montenegro. We wish that our ship's schedule had allowed more time.
“V” is an extremely knowledgeable and personable local guide! We took the cable car to the top (BEFORE the clouds rolled in) and spent 30 minutes, taking pictures and hearing a lot about the development of the area. He told us some local lore (including jokes) and seemed quite interested in hearing about our travels. He even talked sports with me. 👍 The drive to Perast was scenic, and the boat ride to Our Lady of the Rocks was marvelous! V dropped us at the Old City after a thoroughly fun few hours. Book this tour and ask for Vasilije — you won’t be disappointed.
