We explored some coastal towns along our trip to Kotor. Our guide Anna provided amazing history along the way and provided updates on what to expect. The weather was unbelievably hot however our driver and guide did their best to make sure we had water and tired to keep the van as cool as possible. Kotor is a beautiful city with many tiny streets to explore in the old town.

This place is absolutely beautiful. It was amazing to see the craftsmanship and magnitude of the castle and forts, especially for the time period. The people were also hospitable, it as worth the trip. It is a MUST see if you are in Croatia. The guide was knowledgable and made the entire experience very enjoyable.

Great tour & great guide! We felt like we had enough time in both cities and the views were spectacular! The border was 4 hours long on the way back but the guides were great.

Anna with Amico Tours was an absolutely fantastic guide for our day trip from Dubrovnik to Montenegro! She was punctual, super knowledgeable, well-organized, and made the whole journey incredibly fun while fostering a warm, friendly vibe among everyone in the group. To top it off, when I realized I’d left my cellphone in the car at the end of the day, Anna went out of her way to return it to me—a huge life-saver! I can’t recommend Anna and Amico Tours enough!

Beautiful day with Elia (driver) & Lillian (guide)! Both worked hard to give us the best experience. The bus was clean & modern. A little long at the last border crossing but not their fault. The views & sites were amazing! Thanks for a well planned & enjoyable trip!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that Ilija and Lillian helped make your day so enjoyable. They truly care about providing every guest with the best possible experience, and your kind words will mean a lot to them. We're also pleased that you appreciated our clean, modern Mercedes minibus and the stunning sights along the way. While border crossing delays can occasionally happen and are unfortunately beyond our control, we do everything in our power to make the process as quick and smooth as possible by operating with small groups and setting off early to avoid the busiest times whenever we can. Thank you for choosing to travel with us, and we hope to welcome you again on another of our small-group adventures!
More like a ride to Montenegro than a tour. Guide went on the boat trip and little guidance given for those that didn’t. Walking the group into Kotor and pointing out areas would have been more helpful than just walking to the gates of the old town. We thought it might have been nicer had the tour started in Kotor and then did the other stops on the way back.
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the tour did not fully meet your expectations. Our Montenegro small-group tour is designed to provide a comfortable and hassle-free experience, including pick-up and drop-off directly from your accommodation, transportation in brand-new Mercedes vehicles, and faster border crossings thanks to the smaller group size. Throughout the journey, a guide accompanies the group and provides information about the destinations, while an audio guide is included for independent exploration in Kotor and other stops. The itinerary, including the optional boat trip and free time in Kotor, is presented in advance and was carried out as described. We understand that some guests prefer more guided walking tours within the old town itself, and we appreciate your suggestion regarding additional orientation in Kotor. We will certainly take your comments into consideration as we continue improving the experience. For guests who prefer a fully customized itinerary and the undivided attention of a dedicated guide throughout the day, we also offer private tours. These provide greater flexibility in the schedule, destinations, and pace of travel, allowing for a more personalized experience tailored to individual interests. Thank you for traveling with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you on another of our tours in the future.
