Kotor: Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers

While this tour had potential to be pretty good, we ran into issues some issues from the beginning. There was a lot of confusion at the beginning in terms of getting the pickup vehicle to our pickup spot, and the person we met with decided to stick us with a different driver/guide than planned. Perast was nice and visiting the Our Lady of the Rocks was scenic. After that the tour was mostly driving around without a ton of information being provided about Montenegro or where we were headed. At one point, the driver took us to a marina and basically just said we have 45 minutes to walk around. There wasn't much of anything to do or see here besides yachts and a coffee shop. After leaving the marina, we unfortunately got stuck in traffic for over an hour and didn't have any time leftover to roam Old Town.

It was good to see more of the surrounding area. It would have been even better if our driver/ guide told us a bit more about the areas we were visiting. He was more of a driver than a guide. He was very polite and drive well. The trip was definitely worth the money,

I’m not sure what happened but it was completely different itinerary, not what was described in tour’ itinerary we booked. We supposed to have guided tour in two towns- Budva and Kotor but instead were driving around Kotor bay with a few long stops in places we were not interested. Driver was young and polite person and gave some oversight about areas we drove but it wasn’t a guided tour. Company didn’t notify us about itinerary change so we only realized that when we were in the middle of the trip. It was group of 8 people but technically one of the seats (next to the driver) was very small and uncomfortable for 4 hours trip so I feel that they should not have more than seven adults in this van. We are very disappointed in total experience. We didn’t enjoy this tour at all.

Highly recommend, wonderful tour of beautiful Kotor. Amazing view of the bay from up on a mountain!!

Kotor and area beautiful, But I do not recommend this tour if you want to see Old Town Budva, we booked this tour as wanted to see Budva, we were told traffic was too heavy to go there and instead they took us to a new area Lustica Marina, which was nice but not what we had wanted to do, I should have read more reviews prior to booking this tour as many further down had said same, if I only wanted Pervast I could have done so cheaper booking thru the cruise ship, Eric our guide was nice enough but felt we lost out on seeing Old town Budva which is why I booked this specific tour. Furthermore, when we returned to Kotor I checked with a couple of tour companies off the ship advertising same tour and they told us the traffic issue was no longer an issue and they were still taking clients to Old Town Budva, Feeling very disappointed, I wrote them requesting a partial refund to no avail as they said they took us to a new Marina, not w h at we requested. Definitely, tour is not as described

It was a long walk from the meeting point to the minibus, only to travel back the same route at the start of the tour. The minibus has seen better days and rain came in through the wondow during a rainstorm, soaking the seat. There was only one spare seat to move to (fortunately). We thought there would be at least a short walking tour of Kotor on our return but our guide disappeared into the crowd and we did not see her again.

We were greeted by Petar, our guide/driver, who made our small group of 8 feel at home immediately. He was friendly, knowledgeable and an excellent driver. He made the day so enjoyable by his personal demeanor and his interest in everyone on the tour was quite impressive. Petar really made this day memorable. Do not miss this tour and pay the extra money to boat over to Our Lady of the Rocks Monastery, it’s worth the trip.

This is the perfect way to experience Kotor if you have limited time. The perfect taster and we will return. Under the astute guidance of Andro we visited everything Kotor had to offer.

It was absolutely beautiful. Our tour driver was the best ever. So knowledgeable and very considerate of people’s needs in the group. You could see Andre’s love for his country and rightly so. Breathtaking

A privilege to be just the two of us with Erik, our guide, who shared his love for his country with us throughout the visit. We talked a lot about our respective countries while discovering very pretty places. He knew how to make us want to come back to take the time to get to know this still little-known country better. Thank you Erik
