We were a party of 4 doing a day trip to Montenegro from Dubrovnik. Our communication with Patricio was easy and we adjusted our departure time to accommodate increased processing times at the border in 2026. Our driver/guide was Julija who is truly one of the best guides we have encountered anywhere in the world. Her knowledge and enthusiasm is exceptional. We appreciated her use of maps to explain the history of the whole region from centuries past right through to the present. She had personal experience of the Homeland war in the 1990s and those insights were invaluable. For the tour we went to Perast and Kotor. In Perast we did a boat tour to a small island and looked inside the church & museum there. Julija had given us a good understanding of what to look for and the background history which greatly improved our appreciation of what we were seeing. In Kotor we had a local guide, Petra who is a proud Montenegran and was very knowledgeable. We enjoyed her walking tour of the very beautiful old town of Kotor. On our way back to Dubrovnik we went to a wonderful local winery, Botaro and tasted their wines and had a lovely chat with Matea, the wine maker. Her wines are delicious and it was great to have a chance to experience local producers.
Thank you very much for your thoughtful review. We are delighted to hear that your day trip to Montenegro was such a memorable experience. It is wonderful to know that the communication and timing adjustments before your tour helped make the day run smoothly. We are especially pleased to hear your kind words about Julija. Her passion for the region, deep historical knowledge, and personal perspective truly make each journey special, and we will be sure to share your comments with her and Petra as well. It is also wonderful that your visits to Perast and Kotor, along with the winery experience, added such meaningful local moments to your day. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back for another experience in the future.
