Itinerary
According to legend, the local seamen made an oath to the icon of Madonna and Child which was found on a rock in the sea. They laid a rock in the Bay upon return from each successful voyage, and over time the small island emerged. Today, you can find the Church of Our Lady of the Rocks on the island. The church contains over 70 works of art, among them the ten-meters long, The Death of the Virgin. The island is accesible by a short boat ride. Alternatively, feel free to explore the town of Perast during your free time here.
Floating like a jewel in the cerulean embrace of the Adriatic, Our Lady of the Rocks island beckons with its serene beauty and storied past. Carved by human hands, yet cradled by nature's grandeur, it stands as a testament to faith, tradition, and the timeless allure of the sea. Boat ride from Perast to the island is 10€ per person.
Kotor Bay: Where mountains meet the Adriatic, weaving tales of ancient walls, picturesque towns, and timeless allure.
Nestled within the embrace of Montenegro's rugged coastline, Kotor enchants with its labyrinthine alleys, ancient stone walls, and the echo of history in every cobblestone.

Excellent organisation with email & whatsapp the day before to confirm pick-up at apartments. Well-managed border crossing to avoid queues. Valentina (Guide) and Tao (Driver) were very professional and welcoming. Kotor, Perast & Lady of the Rock all worth visiting.
Our day trip from Dubrovnik to Perast and Kotor with Rock Tours was exceptionally well-organized. Pickup was smooth, and border crossings were effortless thanks to efficient management. Our driver, Teo, provided a safe and comfortable ride, while our guide, Valentina, kept everything running seamlessly starting with the boat ride in Perast to Our Lady of the Rocks. The walking tour of Kotor’s old town with the local guide was informative, offering great historical context and practical tips for exploring independently. Everything was professional and well-run, and we easily recommend Rock Tours for this itinerary.
Once again Valentina was absolutely exceptional! I highly recommend! Both stops were absolutely overwhelmingly beautiful and rich in culture and history. Incredible day trip!
Amazing day trip from Dubrovnik! While the views and Mediterranean vibes were the goal for the day , our tour guide Valentina added so much more to this experience with her welcoming personality and quick wit. If I return to Dubrovnik I’ll be sure to book more excursions just because of her!
Great tour, had plenty of time to explore!
So good Valentina was so lovely and extremely kindhearted. The driver was very good at his job and a very confident driver the experience as a whole was a memorable day that I won’t forget for a long time
Valentina was very attentive! The bus was early, clean. 1 hour in Perast and 3 hours in Kotor it goes by fast but we had time to visit everything The only hitch, the 2-hour wait at the border on the way back but it is the same thing for everyone!
Brilliant trip, very prompt with time and organised with trips throughout the day.
Overall the trip was great. The problem was that the way the advertisement for the trip was misleading. I thought this was going to be an all day boat ride. Not just a 30 minute boat ride. Other than that the trip was good.
Valinitina was brilliant, kept to good timings ensuring a smoothly run day
