Our tour guide was amazing and the sights beautiful! Only draw back was 4 grown adults and a 6ft+ guide in a small sedan, expected a van or SUV style vehicle!
Kenneth_Z, Apr 2026
We booked the small group tour. We were the first to arrive and the operator apparently overbooked so he called his buddy to drive around 4 large passengers in a very Small compact car. Our expectation was that we’d be driven in a nice comfortable van rather than 5 large passengers stuffed into a tiny car. I explained that I was very comfortable due to bad knees They told me I’d have to wait a long time for another driver. The tour went from bad to worse as the driver talked in detail about things other than about the sights of Montenegro. I contacted the tour operator directly regarding this experience and received no response. I then contacted Viator , and Viator contacted the operator Who would not do anything about it. Since we are loyal to Viator they gave us a 50 pct refund. This was an awful experience in a beautiful part of the world and I hope other travelers will learn from this experience. Do not recommend
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Deborah and Kenneth,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry that your experience did not reflect the standard of service we consistently provide to our guests in Kotor and across Montenegro.
However, for transparency, we would like to clarify several points. Your tour was not overbooked. The assigned driver/guide is one of our top-performing professionals, and the same experience was rated 5 stars by the other couple in the same vehicle.
The vehicle provided met the specifications of a small-group tour, and in response to your concerns during the tour, you were offered an immediate alternative — a larger minivan — at no additional charge. This option was declined.
We also regret that the guiding style did not meet your expectations. Our guides are trained to provide a well-rounded experience, combining cultural, historical, and local insights.
Regarding communication, we respond to all inquiries through official booking platforms, and we cooperated fully with Viator during their review of your case.
We take guest satisfaction seriously and continuously work to improve. At the same time, we stand behind the quality and professionalism of our team.
Sincerely,
Andro

Eric picked us up right outside the port terminal entrance in Kotor at the agreed upon time. There was one other couple on the tour. We had a great tour and Eric answered all our questions. We fell in love with Montenegro and hope to go back someday!
Caroline_c, Apr 2026
Really great tour with Milosh and fantastic organisation by company. Highly recommended. Milosh provided informative narrative whilst carefully driving. Amazing
Peliza, Mar 2026
Wonderful tour guide! He was funny and informative. We saw several places in Montenegro and he allowed us plenty of time to look around/shop.
Carlos_d, Dec 2025
A most beautiful day in Montenegro.
We were suppose to go to Budva. The streets were under construction and Andro changed the itinerary. We understood it was beyond his control. He gave us an absolutely magnificent tour. His knowledge of the history of Montenegro made the tour very interesting. We definitely recommend this tour.
Andro was about to get a brand new vehicle. You are in for a treat.
Andro , thank you for an amazing day.

I DID NOT GET THE TOUR I PAID FOR!!!!! NO BUDVA. No refund either
I did not get a tour meet time until 9:10pm the night before. I had inquired the month before because I needed to book a tender to them. They assured me they would be there and no problem. Lies…… nobody was at our meeting place. Was told I’d be put with another guide since he couldn’t be there until 12:30. I started receiving texts to walk to another location and look for a license plate to get in a car. When I texted the company we felt this was very unsafe we got a text with a pin dropped telling us go there. We should have never went. We were greeted by a man that told us 5 other people in van get in it’s safe and he seemed great. He informed us he was a driver in a taxi and not a guide. Drove us to Perast and deploys at a ferry service where we had to pay $15 a person for transport to lady of the rock. (This is all we did on the purchased itinerary). We were dropped and not picked up for an hour by this other company. When we got to the van he told us no time for Budva he was dropping us off at a Marina to shop. We asked to please not be brought there. He told us he’s only driver not his call. Proceed to drive us 45 minutes with not one word of information about the area. Drove us onto a Ferry even when we asked him to just bring us back to our meeting point. Dropped us at the Marina where we stood for an hour waiting to get back on van. The worst day I can remember. We felt unsafe and did not get the tour we paid $190 for. We could have paid $30 for transport to lady of the rocks and been back to town if we hadn’t booked with this company. We did not receive a refund although we provided all texts and proof of the fraudulent tour. This was NOT a tour. We were taxied around and told the tour was changed since it was so late. We could have gone with another company. We were bullied and felt we were unsafe with no options. In hindsight sight I should have ubered back to port but was 45 minutes away and alone there with my daughter. DO NOT TAKE THIS TOUR unless you want to be swindled. When I filed a complaint with Viator they responded the company rejected a refund. HOW???? I purchased a tour to Budva. They sent a driver to bring us to a Marina where we asked to not be brought there and were completely ignored!!!! We were told over and over that he was a driver only and no tour guide!!! We should have went with a tour from the ship and have learned we have zero rights or backup unless we do from now on. It’s a shame because we have used Viator in the past and thought they were trustworthy. Thank goodness we didn’t get stranded!!! Buyer BEWARE!!! We never thought this would be us until it was
Philip_V, Oct 2025
Very friendly, informative guide. Spoke perfect English. Knew alot of history of the country and a very proud man.
Susan_M, Sep 2025
Perfect way to see Montenegro outside of the city as a cruise excursion. Peter was very patient to wait for the tenders to get us to shore. Much appreciated. Lovely day!
Terri_L, Sep 2025
This is such a beautiful country, our ship entered in the fjords and we were surrounded by the bluest water and enormous tall mountains. The tour was fantastic. It was a private car with the owner of the company, Andros. He told us the history and took us to beautiful places. The village of Perast is both quaint and unbelievably scenic. Andros gave us plenty of time to explore. We stopped for coffee at a lovely shop on the water, and enjoyed a stunning view! Then we took a ferry to the other side and drove through quaint villages on the way back to Kotor. He took us high up a mountain to get a panoramic view of the port of Kotor. He dropped us off near where we were to catch the tender to get back to the ship. We spent a little time in the walled city before catching our tender. What a beautiful place! Andros could not have been nicer, and I highly recommend his tour!!
P.S. it is worth noting that Montenegro is not very credit card friendly. Most places wanted cash, including the little boat ride to Our Lady of the Rocks island in Perast. We weren’t able to go because they wouldn’t take credit cards. Get some cash. We had some for tipping, but were out by the time we got there!
Lindsay_B, Sep 2025
Good tour Driver was very helpful good knowledge Worst part was the walk back to van of over one mile There must be a way to just drop people at the attraction go park and come back People in our group on walking sticks Just drop people closer always
Kaitlin_B, Jun 2025
Based on our experience and other reviews I think this tour is highly dependent on the group size and if it is just your group or others. Our group was one other couple but the vehicle used for the tour was a Rav 4 and three large adults who didn’t know each other were siting in the back seat. Not ideal for a hot summer day… the spots visited were nice but I would consider a different tour in the future. Andro facilitated the tour but a different driver took the group for the tour.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you for your review and for highlighting both the beautiful spots visited and your thoughts on the group setup. We understand that summer heat and shared seating can be a challenge for some, though it’s important to note that this tour was booked as a shared, small-group experience, which was accurately described in advance, including the vehicle type and group size expectations.
We always strive to exceed expectations, and in this case, your tour included a dedicated tour coordinator (Andro) and a separate driver (Bojan), an arrangement that many find adds value and personalized service.
If space and privacy are top priorities for your next adventure, we’d love to welcome you back on one of our private tour options, where your group has full control over the itinerary, timing, and vehicle
Ted_K, May 2025
The driver, Peter was very engaging and did a wonderful job trying to get us places even with the traffic and construction.
Robert_B, Apr 2025
We believed this was a tour of 1-4 people based on the description. It is not. I rated it 3 stars because if I had known that we would be 17 people, then perhaps it would have been acceptable for those that like that type of tour. The tour providers were pleasant and knowledgeable so my only disappointment was in my expectations based on the tour description on Viator
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Dear Mr. Robert,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you found our team pleasant and knowledgeable. We do wish to gently clarify a couple of points: the tour provided is clearly marked as a small group tour, not private, with a maximum capacity of up to 16 participants (which was the size of your group). We also noticed that your cruise ship Sun Princess docked in Bar, while you booked the tour with departure from Kotor. Unfortunately, this mismatch can impact expectations and logistics. We always recommend reviewing the tour starting point and group size in the tour description to ensure the best experience.
We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you properly next time in beautiful Kotor.
Alexis_U, Dec 2024
Holy cats, Andro was AMAZING! He was so incredibly knowledgeable and great to ask all kinda of questions about Montenegro and the general area. He was happy to personalize our experience and made sure we had an excellent time, so that we got to a see so much in such a short time. I would 1000% recommend for folks that want to see some key highlights and learn about the location. Thank you!
Neil_B, Oct 2024
I booked one day to go around and see Kotor, Budva, Lady of the Rocks at Perast, Sveti Stefan and Tivat Marina and they did not disappoint, Andro was spectacular.. I’ve done many of group booking but never a private one and he was so good at communicating beforehand, then throughout the day with excellent guide about the history of Montenegro and couldn’t help enough to make the trip run smoothly. Amazing experience and day.
To add to it, I also booked a private trip with them to go to a Shkoder, Albania and also visit Old Town Bar in Montenegro the next day. This time I was taken by the guide Petar, who was also excellent at communicating beforehand, throughout the day and on our journey. It was a fabulous day!
I can’t recommend this company enough for friendliness, great professionalism, enthusiasm and motivation to what they do to give an enjoyable experience. Thank you both Andro and Petar - I hope you enjoy your winter break soon!
Gregory_M, Sep 2024
Our driver/guide Andro was amazing. His knowlege of the area and its history was impressive. It was a most enjoyable day. Highly recommended but be sure to ask for Andro.
laurenfirsty, Aug 2024
Petar was an amazing guide. Our cruise had a last minute change, and he was super accommodating to adapt our meeting place and itinerary. He re-planned the whole day, and knew exactly where to go, and how much time to allot, to make the most of our time. His communication was immediately responsive, professional, and friendly. Pickup was easy and we were not rushed for anything. We had a wonderful time exploring Budva and Bar, and had a delicious lunch at a very nice seaside restaurant. All in all, I would highly recommend Petar and this tour! Thank you!
MayLariza_M, Jun 2024
We had a wonderful experience. The weather didn't cooperate, but Andro made it fun and memorable for us. He took us to this charming town in Perast and gave us an option weather or not we wanted to take a boat ride to Our Lady of the Rocks. Andro was very knowledgeable about the history of Montenegro and took us to the different tourist destinations. He was also able to relate to my 12 yr. old son when it comes to MBA basketball as he is a fan of it himself. Highly recommended.
trailscum, Jun 2024
According to the overview for this tour, we thought we would have a private guide to show us Kotor Old Town, Budva, see Our Lady of the Rocks at Perast, etc. Our driver seemed reticent to share any information with us and eventually told us that he was not a guide, only a driver. After dropping us off in Budva, where we had to cross an active construction site to make the 15 minute walk to the Old Town, he then required us to walk back another 15-20 minutes to a meeting point that was more convenient for him. Traffic was congested, but as a driver, he didn't seem comfortable with how to get around. Ultimately, we asked him to drop us back at Kotor Old Town, where we told him we no longer needed his services. In short, we did not get what we paid for, as this was more or less just a taxi ride to Budva and back. Very disappointing.
Steven_N, May 2024
We loved our tour in Kotor & we’re quite happy with our guide Andro. He was very knowledgeable, always available to willingly answer any questions & assist us with any needs. Good job!
Mark_L, May 2024
Sadly the tour was less than we expected. Traffic congestion meant that we couldn't complete the tour. Our guide was lovely but spoke little english. He tried hard. I could not recommend this tour as I feel that we paid to much money for a tour that gave to little.
Response from Host, May 2024
Dear Mr. Mark,
Thanks for your review.
Unfortunately, Western Balkans & EU Summit was held in Kotor on the day of your tour, with a lots of delays in traffic. Organisation of that summit was poor and we had to 'improvize' because we didn't want to leave anyone behind.
I apologize on our behalf and thanks in advance for your understanding.

Petar was a pleasure to spend time with and learn about the area and the people. He had great local knowledge and took us to all of the beautiful sights we wanted to experience. The tour was all we expected and more. I would highly recommend Petar and this tour!
Louella_G, Apr 2024
Had a blast with Andrija. Such an awesome tour guide/personal photographer. Covered so many beautiful spots, so much more than your money's worth. Very knowledgeable about Montenegro and it's history. Very thoughtful and considerate of his guests' needs and will work with you in planning to cover as much as your desired itinerary. Hvala Andro!
Lynn_H, Apr 2024
Our guide, Milosh (so?) gave us the perfect mix of “guided tour” and explanations of history, etc. during the drive, and time to explore on our own. He was very knowledgeable both about the sights and ways to bypass traffic. Plus very friendly. A nice alternative to the big buses from the cruise ship tours.
Irina_K, Nov 2023
We had an amazing private tour with Andro. Highly recommend booking with him. Great English, very knowledgeable in history and just pleasant company.
Brian_B, Oct 2023
We were disappointed in our tour. We were supposed to have an English speaking tour guide and there was definitely a communication barrier. He even told us upfront that his English was not good. We got little to no history on the area. We did see some beautiful places. Lady of the rocks, Pearst, Budva and Old town Kotor. We waited for him at the port where we were instructed to wait and he was not there. He finally arrived and we had to walk all the way to the other end of port where we had just come from. After we finished at Lady of the Rock we looked for our guide for almost 30 minutes. We had a short day in port so this took up our time seeing sights. I would not recommend this tour. We were so looking forward to this port and left very disappointed.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
I apologize for letting you down. My car broke down on the way to the port, so I had to find replacement driver asap because I didn't want to cancel your tour last second.
I hope that you could still enjoy this part of Montenegro today.
Kind regards,
Andro, Manager

David_B, Jul 2023
Petar was an excellent guide and we enjoyed the Lady of The Rocks and exploring the towns of Perast and Budva with a great photo op overlooking the port.
Aaron_S, Jun 2023
We hadn’t heard much about Montenegro and we absolutely loved it. Our tour guide Andro was so knowledgeable and friendly and really made the trip an unforgettable day.
We started by walking through the old town before the sun was too hot and before the crowds took it over. Seeing all this old buildings and alleyways with majestic high mountains peeking out over the top had such a cool feel to it.
We then rode to Perast and took a private boat to Lady of the Rocks. After that we walked the Main Street of Perast where Andro met us with his car at the end. Perast is his favorite spot in Kotor and we definitely could see why.
Finally we drove across the city to get high views of Jaz beach and then Budva as well. Because we were low on time, we just had lunch overlooking Jaz beach but it was perfect and the food was great.
We then headed back to our ship going a different path, skipping most of the traffic and stopping for one last majestic picture spot of the entire bay of Kotor.
We left Kotor feeling like ambassadors for Montenegro. Come visit and tour with Andro!
Barry_S, Jun 2023
Andro was excellent. He explained everything in great detail giving us information on the culture, history and any other relative information. I plan on recommending him very highly to friends who will be traveling to Kotor in August. Thank you for a wonderful experience
