Great experience - speedboat across the bay was fabulous - Lav played great music throughout, which really enhanced the trip. Stops off at Perast and Lady of the Rocks were perfect - we left Kotor at 5pm which was a really good time of day to do it
Lav was exceptional as a tour guide as well as our captain. He is polite, shares the history and makes you comfortable throughout the tour. The speedboat ride in the bay is definitely an experience one should never miss.
Ilia Lucky Perfect! Everything I liked! Very well done
Thanks for the review! See you next time the sea calls.
We had an absolutely fantastic trip around the Bay of Kotor, Perast, and Our Lady of the Rocks. Captain Goran and our skipper Alex (I hope I've spelled that correctly!) made the experience truly memorable. They were both warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories about the history of the bay while making everyone feel welcome and relaxed. The boat was comfortable, the scenery was breathtaking, and the stops were perfectly timed to explore without feeling rushed. Their passion for Montenegro really shone through, and they went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a wonderful day. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kotor—it's one of the highlights of our trip!
