The Bay of Kotor (Serbian and Montenegrin: Бока Которска / Boka Kotorska), also known as the Boka, is the winding bay of the Adriatic Sea in southwestern Montenegro and the region of Montenegro concentrated around the bay. The bay has been inhabited since antiquity. Its well-preserved medieval towns of Kotor, Risan, Tivat, Perast, Prčanj and Herceg Novi, along with their natural surroundings, are major tourist attractions. The Natural and Culturo-Historical Region of Kotor was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979. Its numerous Orthodox and Catholic churches and monasteries attract numerous religious and cultural pilgrims.
Perast (Serbian Cyrillic: Пераст) is an old town in the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro. It is situated a few kilometres northwest of Kotor and is noted for its proximity to the islets of St. George and Our Lady of the Rocks.
Kotor is a fortified town on Montenegro’s Adriatic coast, in a bay near the limestone cliffs of Mt. Lovćen. Characterized by winding streets and squares, its medieval old town has several Romanesque churches, including Kotor Cathedral. It's also home to the Maritime Museum, which explores local seafaring history.
Budva is a town in Montenegro on the Adriatic Sea. Part of the Budva Riviera, it's known for sandy beaches and nightlife. Stone walls built by the Venetians surround the narrow streets of the medieval old town (Stari Grad). This historic district is home to a seaside citadel and religious sites such as the Church of Santa Maria in Punta, established in the 9th century. Take a bathing suit with you if you wish to go swimming on some of beautiful beaches that Budva offer.

We really enjoyed the day trip to Montenegro. We enjoyed all three stops and it was a great way to experience some other cities. Each place was beautiful and unique!
A day trip between Dubrovnik- Montenegro - Dubrovnik with Drako was a really nice experience. Would definitely recommend book a trip with this company and this guide. Mention the right spots during the trip, gave us the right tips to explore each place, nice jokes during the trip, nice playlist for all trip. Hvala Drako 😊
This was a fantastic day from pick-up to drop-off! Our guide, Petar, was absolutely first-rate. He provided just the right amount of color as we passed by different points of interest and was super communicative on WhatsApp whenever we had questions during our two hours in each of Kotor and Budva (in addition to the quick jaunt in adorable Perast). We were blown away by the beauty of Kotor and appreciated the recommendation from Petar for the spot to find the best Montenegrin Cream Cake (Kremšnita) - it was delicious! Budva was very pretty and we probably should have taken advantage of the beaches there - but instead we found a great pizza spot with even better air conditioning! The drive around the Bay is a bucket list experience! All in all, a great, full, day!
We had such a lovely day out. Stunning scenery all the way! The early start was worth it to ‘sail’ through the borders so quickly and arrive in Perast before it got busy In my opinion the Bay of Kotor is at its best first thing. So peaceful - and so beautiful! Our transport was very comfortable, seating just 8 people, and our driver/guide Darko was great, telling us about the areas as we drove through them and well as being very courteous. We also need to mention the lovely Lorena who organised the trip and who we messed about a bit at the start trying to decide about the trip but she stayed smiling! We all felt that the trip represented great value for money Our only small criticism would be that we would have liked a little longer in each place as they were just so interesting!
Guide was great. I went into this knowing it would be a long travel day. Guide gave us ample time at each stop and got us through the borders quickly. If you’re at all heat / sun sensitive, reconsider. The heat was unbearable (UV index of 8) - even with hats, sunglasses, linen covering everything it was tough to constantly walk / be outside. I wish we were taken to more spots indoors with AC. In Budva, we found a nice hotel with proper AC and cafe inside - spots like that or a museum with AC is more appropriate for such a dangerously hot day. Wish tour companies would adjust itineraries when it’s this hot.
Petar was a great driver. He had lots of information about all the stops - Perast, Kotor and Bǔdva. He also shed stories about life in Croatia. He was a very safe driver. He gave us easily understood directions of where we should go in each town so that we could maximise the time we had. Swimming in the Adriatic (Bǔdva) was a highlight. Petar navigated the border crossings extremely well. There was a hold up going back into Croatia (no idea why - just happened) so he deftly took another route which saved us more than an hour. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Our guide Ivo was great. He made the drive seem short with all his stories and interesting facts. The stops on the tour were packed with tourists but still beautiful. I'm really glad we decided to take this tour instead of trying to drive in Montenegro ourselves. Overall, I highly recommend it.
I had a fantastic day trip from Dubrovnik to Montenegro. Everything was very well organized from start to finish. The group was small, which made the experience much more comfortable and enjoyable than traveling on a large coach. The bus was clean and air-conditioned, and the schedule was perfectly managed throughout the day. I never felt rushed, yet had enough time to explore and enjoy each stop. A special thank you to the guide Petar who was incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. He shared many interesting stories and facts along the way, kept everyone informed, and made sure everything ran smoothly. His positive attitude and great sense of humor made the trip even more enjoyable. Kotor and Budva were absolutely beautiful, and this tour was one of the highlights of my stay in Dubrovnik. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Montenegro in a comfortable and stress-free way. Thank you, Petar, for a wonderful day! ☺️
We had a fantastic time on the tour around Montenegro 🇲🇪 our tour guide was Darko and he was brilliant, he had a vast amount of knowledge about Montenegro which was very interesting to learn from. Overall we had a great trip seeing the lovely places of kotor, budva and perast.
We had an absolutely fantastic time exploring Montenegro on this tour! Having it be a small group was so much better than a big bus and having our guide Darko lead us the entire way made the experience go from 10/10 to 1000/10! He was so nice, knowledgeable, and did everything he could to ensure we had a great trip from taking our pictures and showing us secret spots for views of the bay to making sure he was constantly checking the border to plan the best and fastest route for us! He was truly excellent, to the company that puts on this tour, please know Darko was AMAZING, given him a raise - he is the best part of this tour by far!!
