Private Tour with Marko was amazing !!
We were originally going to explore Kotor on our own, but then decided the chances of us ever making it back very slim we should get a private tour while there. We meet with Marko who was absolutely fantastic. Marko lives within in walls and is a native who is so proud of his home. Marko told us about his city and its amazing history. Gave us information that we’d never would have known if we were on our own. The tour went fast, about 1:15 and we could’ve spent hours with Marko. Marko gave us some tips and he was so professional yet so proud of his heritage. 10 of 10 !!!
Operator response

As a local who lives within the old town walls, he loves sharing its history and traditions, and we're thrilled that his passion made your visit so memorable. Thank you for your kind words!

An unforgettable tour!
Absolutely exceptional! Our private tour of Kotor with Petra was an unforgettable experience that truly brought this beautiful city to life. Petra radiates joy, warmth, and an unmistakable pride in her hometown. From the moment we met her, it was clear how deeply she cares about sharing Kotor’s rich history and culture.
She filled our tour with fascinating facts about Kotor and Montenegro, weaving in personal stories and meaningful connections that made everything feel so authentic and heartfelt. Petra took the time to answer every one of our questions thoughtfully and in-depth, and her passion for what she does shone through at every turn.
Beyond her knowledge, Petra is simply lovely to be around—kind, engaging, and full of positive energy. Touring Kotor with her is an absolute must-do! We left feeling inspired, enriched, and grateful for the experience.

Visit canceled
Visit canceled at the last minute… Nothing to say about a magnificent city that we visited on our own. Damage….
Operator response
We are terribly sorry that your tour was cancelled at the last minute. Unfortunately, on some dates, we have a lack of quality guides in the French language.
The only solution that our colleague had at that point was to offer the refund, which was immediately executed, and to offer you to join the English-speaking group for free, which she did, but we understand that it was not a desired solution for you.
We are awfully sorry you had to discover Kotor by yourself and understand your frustration.
Kind regards,
Slavica
