Our Lady of the Rock is beautiful island made by people who used to live in Perast. The story says that two fishermen from Perast have found Our Lady Icon on the rock sticking out from the sea. People promised they will make island and church dedicated to Our Lady of the Rocks. And here it is, glorious church with museum on the small island. Our travelers will have opportunity to visit both church and museum.
The Island of Saint George (Sveti Djordje) is one of two gorgeous islands in the bay of Boka Kotorska, situatedacross Perast. . Unlike the Island Our Lady of the Rocks, the island of St. George is natural island. This island contains St. George Monastery which dates from XII century. The island is off limits for tourists.
Perast is small baroque town of famous captains with beautiful museum and old houses. Although Perast had only 350 inhabitants, there were 18 churches and 19 palaces in it. The symbol of the city is the church of Saint Nicholas with its impressive 55 meter high bell tower, proudly above the building. Unfortunately, because of the lack of money, it was never finished.

Booked a two hour tour, but the tour only went for an hour and 20 minutes. We were supposed to have time to visit Perast and Our Lady of the Rocks. However, when we arrived in Perast we were told that we could have 35 minutes in Perast or split that time between Perast, Our Lady of the Rocks, and the short boat ride between the two. We decided to skip Our Lady of the Rocks because less than 15 minutes at each location did not seem like it would be enough time. Not sure why we weren’t allowed more time. Our tour departed Kotor a couple of minutes after noon, and we were back at the dock in Kotor at 1:22 pm. Furthermore, the company had no obvious signage at the docks, and was difficult to find. Had to ask other tour companies to find our boat.
Not a VIP experience!! Poorly organized and failed to deliver promised program. Meeting point signage did not exist. Fifteen minute Lady of Rocks stop was actually a drive by. Forty five minute Perast stop was 30 minutes. Two hour tour was 1 1/2 hours in speedboat with very loud music!! Scenery and locations were beautiful but the rest of the tour promised much more than what was provided!
I would not recommend this tour, and as other reviewers have mentioned, you do not get what is advertised. The tour advertised: -a tour with Sea Horizon -water -life jackets -20 min stop on Our Lady of the Rock church islet -40 min stop in Perast What we got: -Pushed on a tour with Rijo tours (not who we booked with- the tour leader put us with them). -no water offered -no life jacket. And the Speedboat was very rocky and felt unsafe at times -an option of EITHER 20 min on islet and 20 min in Perast, OR 40 min in Perast. This is not what was advertised and everyone on the tour has to agree to one or the other. We booked two hours, we had an hour and a half. I requested a partial refund and this was rejected by the operator. Thankfully, Viator customer service were on hand to help secure some of funds back. Save your money for a different, legitimate tour at Park Slobode instead.
Excellent excursion, great value for money. Remember to bring some cash as the Island takes only cash, including the gift shop, and the tour guides are worth a tip too. One of the highlights of my stop at Kotor. Also, if ladies are looking to visit the church, they insist on modest dress code.
Very nice boat with a stop at Perast. only negative that we were informed after arriving on the island that the disembarkation has an extra cost of 5 euros.
Beautiful experience and good guide, we were able to see dolphins, he diverted a little to see them, great
The boat tour was fun, as were the stops, but they indicate a 40-minute stop in Perast but only give 30, furthermore 20 minutes to visit Our Lady of the Rocks is actually too little, the description also indicates the provision of a small bottle of water, but it was not given to us. duration indicated 2 hours, actual time instead one hour and a half attention! if two hours are indicated then the stops should be lengthened to allow for the best visit.
We had a super fun boat ride and tour! Our skipper was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the island we visited and Perast. We met fun tourists on the boat too! Everything was great!
Nice boat trip—you get to see beautiful sights and visit the charming small town of Perast, known for its peaceful atmosphere, old stone houses, and stunning views of the bay.
Booked a 2 hour trip with Viator. Trip info said 20 minutes at Our Lady of the Rock . And then 40 minutes in Perast. And with the boat ride there and back so 2 hours. When got to Our Lady of the Rock, boat driver asked who wanted to get off and I was the only one which I was surprised as thought it was part of the tour. He said I could have 10, 15 or 20mins there and he would come back for me. Not sure what I needed so asked for 15mins. He came back to collect me after 10mins but even with 15 I would not have had time to go in the church so wasn’t able to. He then took me to Perast and told me I only had 20mins there rather than 40 as I had stopped at the Church. When queried with him that I had booked the 2 hour tour, not 1.5 hours I was told I should have booked direct with him! So although a nice trip I didn’t go inside the Church and my time at Perast was so limited I didn’t get to see much of it. Disappointed!
