Unfortunately, this tour did not meet our expectations and felt like it had challenges from the beginning. When booking, make sure to confirm that hotel pickup is included, especially if you are staying outside the main area. We were staying in Perast, and arranging pickup from our hotel was inconvenient and added extra cost.
Our driver was friendly, but he was primarily just a driver, not a guide. When we arrived in Budva, he simply told us to “have fun,” but we were not given any information about what to see or do. We wandered around briefly and then returned to the car because we were not sure how to spend our time there.
Next, we stopped in Cetinje, which was disappointing. The only stop was at a monastery that we were not able to enter, so it felt like a wasted visit. We then continued to Lovćen, which was by far the highlight of the day. The views were absolutely incredible and worth seeing. However, be aware that the entrance only accepts cash, and even the restroom requires payment, which was unexpected.
The hike at Lovćen was enjoyable, but again, we found it unusual to have a “guide” who did not actually guide us or provide any information throughout the experience. The drive back was also much longer than expected due to the winding mountain roads and heavy traffic. We were supposed to return to our hotel around noon but did not arrive until 2:30 PM, leaving us tired and frustrated.
Overall, this did not feel like a true guided tour experience. I would not recommend this tour as it was presented. If you are able to visit Lovćen on your own or book a tour focused specifically on that area, I would highly recommend it. The views are spectacular. However, I would skip this particular tour.

Thanks for your review. On the description is mention that the guide is not included, the English speaking Driver is included .Next time you should read more carefully. If you wanted Guided English Speaking tour you should not book this activity because the guide will coast additional costs and for 220 Euro you can not get Driver, car and English Tour Guide, that excursions are much more expensive because the Tour guide is charging 120 Euro for all day.
Regarding pick up I already inform you day before that you have to pay pick up because Perast is 15 kilometers away from Kotor and I we are in Kotor the tour description says that we are starting from Kotor not from Perast.

Wonderful day In Montenegro
Wonderful four+ hours spent with Zorro, showing off his beautiful city with historical and geographical facts, beautiful scenery, an exhilarating ride up to Lovćen, and even a wonderful recommendation on where and what to eat.
So much better than the large busses and groups we encountered/passes.
Highly recommend

A well-honed visit
While traveling on the coast, we benefited from the services of the agency to get us driven. From the start, responsiveness was there. We chose to take a car for 3 and we were able to get charged very close to our hotel, which was appreciable. The excursion went as planned. In short, an interesting experience.

phenomenal!!
We visited Kotor as one of our ports of call on Mediterranean cruise. We fell in love with Kotor immediately when our cruise sailed into port of Kotor. That was a nice and beautiful morning. We met our guide Zoran at cruise gate and he led us to their office(which is 5 mins walk away) and introduced us to his son Marko. Then we got into his car and began our journey right away. Zoran was nice and caring. He introduced and showed Kotor to us in a very special way. We felt like we were visiting an old friend and he was showing his hometown with pride and joy. The road to Lovcen is absolutely beautiful. Zoran is a very skilled driver. He stopped at several spots to show us phenomenal views and took photos for us. Upon arrived at Lovcen, he told us to take our time and wait for us for next destination. We had a great time at Lovcen. The 360 degree view is totally gorgeous and breathtaking. Then we had a quick stop in Centinje. After that we went to Budva. Both places were nice and special. Since it's a private tour, we discussed and adjusted the time with Zoran on the way and everything went smoothly. We will not forget that special day in Kotor and will definitely use this family company someday when we visit Kotor again!!

Yes! Private driver and car!
Book it now! Absolutely fabulous!! Much better than a tour bus. Our guide was so generous and a skilled driver on those curvy mountain roads. They were very easy and convenient to book via WhatsApp. We felt that we got such a unique experience with Balkan hospitality!

Excellent
I booked this on Viator after realising we had limited options for venturing further afield from our Hotel without a hire car and was offered a very fair price for pick up/drop off as we were outside their normal area (friendly, straightforward and quick communication from Marko). We were very lucky with the weather as the rain/cloud mostly stayed away on the day we had booked, but be aware this might not always be the case and you might be offered an alternative date/refund if the weather is bad.
We were picked up by our driver Zoron who took us to all 3 places as advertised and stopped off at multiple places on the journey with glorious views (and took some lovely photos as well for us). We felt very safe, especially on the beautiful drive up and down the serpentine road to Lovcen.
We had a great time, and would highly recommend booking with this friendly family company. We’ve only really done big group coach trips before - we’re slightly shy Brits who usually prefer people watching on tours so wasn’t sure about a private tour, but we all felt comfortable and safe with Zoron and his friendly and humorous chat :-)

Great tour
We had a great driver who stopped multiple times on the journey to allow us to take pictures and appreciate the amazing views. The National Park had stunning views, allowing you to appreciate just how mountainous Montenegro is. We were able to change the trip slightly to meet our requirements so we had longer in Centije to explore the old capital. Would definitely recommend this tour to others.

Beautiful, well worth the drive up the hill, tricky parking and climbing the steps
Very interesting place beautifully kept with stunning 360 views. Restaurant at the base which was interesting. WIsh we would have taken a picnic to the top to sit and enjoy with the view
