We arrived on a cruise...

Samantha_R, Nov 2025

We arrived on a cruise ship and Tiho was right there with a sign waiting for us. The tour was informative, fun and absolutely gorgeous! Everything we saw was beautiful and amazing. He scheduled lunch for us at the most beautiful place overlooking St. Stephen island. I would highly recommend this tour! We stopped at several places for pictures and it was just gorgeous!

This was a wonderful tour given by a wonderful man. Highly recommend that you book this tour. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would certainly use him again next time I’m in Kotor.

Choose the tour for city instead

icjohnson, Jun 2025

This was a very long drive to Budva. We did find it enjoyable being caught up in traffic & being told to take photos. In hindsight we would have preferred a city tour to utilise the most of our time in port - but the description sounded good so we did this & wished we had not! Driver was safe & we ended tour earlier to have time in city which was v interesting

I apologize for being unconvincing about heavy traffic , the road between Kotor and Budva is still under the construction … so sorry Kind Regards

Budva and St. Stephen tour

Enea_O, May 2025

Good experience but we didn't know until the last minute that there were three more people coming. We would have preferred to know that. It delayed the tour and these people told us they were told to show up at 9:15 am and we were told 9 am. The problem I think derives from agency that booked this for them and got a different time set for them and so I don't think it was coordinated correctly by those who booked our tour initially. I think better communication in writing would greatly help. Otherwise our tour guide Tihomar Kostic was excellent. He was courteous to us all. I liked the place we ate at but the waiter made one mistake. He charged our bill and not the other three women who had their own order. It was a strange happening but not anything to do with the tour guide. Just boring this so it doesn't happen in the future.

Private guide &driver in one

Carmen_C, Jul 2023

This tour Is design For all cruise ships, single couples and just don't know what to do. I was impressed with the person who came and picked me up and made sure that I would be able to do everything I wanted to do that day within the time that it was offered for a private tour. He goes way beyond and makes you feel like you have a friend that you just spending the day with. I would recommend this tour over and over and over again. I also decided to book another private tour with him. And I was able to do all the other things that I was not able to do in the time frame because. So much to do, and it's better to do it with the car, you can go swimming, you can go see old ruins, veiws Swimming beaches you can mix it up. You just let him know what you would like. In the time frame he has to offer.it is literally private.
