Driver but no guide. No description of anything. First drop off little town on bay more like strip mall. Second drop in marina where had nice lunch. View of Kotor was good from on high. Dropped off by old town where walked on our own.
This was a wonderful way to view Kotor. Eric, our driver was spectacular and full of enthusiasm about his home country. He was very knowledgeable and informative. The air conditioned vehicle was a nice touch in the heat!
This was a great small group tour. We didn’t feel rushed and got a nice taste of Kotor. What a fantastic experience. The history; the beauty. Our guide was very knowledgeable. It was a wonderful day.
Very nice tour that included most important places in the kotor bay.
The guide /driver was very cordial. He explained well, gave enough time to walk around. All was great.
This tour was a perfect excursion from our cruise ship. Group size is very small (7). The owner of the company, Andro, met us as we got off the ship. He explained our day and then introduced us to our driver, Milosh. We had a wonderful day, touring the bay with time for exploring and taking pictures. Milosh shared his knowledge of the area. Great excursion. Highly recommend.
I was honestly unsure about doing a driving tour when I booked this but Andro planned our trip so that we got to see so much more than would have been possible any other way. We learned so much about the history, languages and culture with lots of laughs the whole while. When we shared photos with our cruise companions they were stunned at the vistas. We have been on many tours and heartily recommend this one!
Excellent way to the surrounding areas of Kotor. We covered several areas including our lady of the rocks and a beautiful view from top of the hill overlooking the bay.
Our driver who also owns the company was an excellent historian.
Meeting instructions couldn't have been more clear and prompt. We had a brand new 9 seater van with great AC and excellent WiFi! Dragan was our guide and driver and not only is he handsome and personable, but knowledgeable as well. Be prepared for him to take a group picture at the most picturesque summit overlooking the harbor.... because his 6 year old daughter asks what he does all day when he's gone. So, she always asks for a picture. Having small denominations of Euro cash is important as the boat ride and museum trip to Our Lady of the Rocks is €15 cash!
Great way to see this beautiful place,Vasco our driver was a very nice young man who gave us a great insight about life there in Kotor
Dragon made this experience exceptional. He brought us the all the highlights in the area and was extremely friendly, funny and helpful. Our group had a great time and got back to the ship with time to spare.
We saw the most beautiful places, walk around, ate and enjoy the day together . Our guide Andro was Extremely friendly and helpful he didn’t rush us and let us go as we needed. Waited patiently and suggested a wonderful place to eat fresh seafood !!! Love t
Overrated and overpriced! Not worth the cost! The driver did his best as a guide, but was more like a taxi driver dropping us here and there. This was supposed to be a private tour and we almost ended up with another couple in a sedan. Incomplete tour and it was much shorter to 3.5 hours. I would not recommend it.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
We appreciate your review and wanted to clarify that you received a private tour with Eric, our highly experienced driver/guide, despite booking this small group tour. We operate specifically as driver/guides, providing commentary and insights during the drive to ensure you have all the relevant context for each stop.
I had the same issue as other reviews:
This tour was not as described. No visit to Budva.
We did have a driver, but he was not a guide. He let us off to explore on our own, but no guide. The trip was to include Budva, but he did not take us there. We took the ferry across the bay and he dropped us at Porto Montenegro instead of taking us to Budva.
Finally the tour was described as having a one hour tour of old town, but he dropped us off there and pointed at the gate to get in.
Awful. A taxi driver would have given us more information. He was 45 minutes late to start the tour and at the end of the tour he asked everyone on the van to get out and walk due to the traffic. He repeatedly left us to roam alone with only one place of information. For example I will be back in 1 hour to pick you up. His conversation with us was more about finding who we were rather than educating us on the history of the region and city.
After this experience I will shop other tour companies. Viator leaves out key details in their travel synopsis about the operator we will be getting. As well as how many people we will be traveling with.
The tour was great, Dragan made the trip the best! He was informative, friendly & helpful. Highly recommend this tour, request Dragan as your tour guide!
Our tour guide Dragan is an excellent guide. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and very very helpful .
An easy way to see a bunch of Kotor quickly. It’s definitely more of a sightseeing experience than a history lesson. Theres some walking but it’s self guided so it can be as exerting as you want it to be. Our guide was considerate and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. I’d definitely do the 8/9 am tour, it gets really packed in the afternoon.
They worked exceptionally well with our itinerary. Eric was very informative and a pleasure to be around. Highly recommend
This tour was not as described. We did have a driver, but he was not a guide. He let us off to explore on our own, but no guide. The trip was to include Budva, but he did not take use there. He drove us around the Bay, we took the ferry across the bay and he dropped us at Porto Montenegro instead of taking us to Budva. The tour was described as having a one hour tour of old town, but he dropped us off there and pointed at the gate to get in. It was a beautiful day and we did drive around the lake, so it wasn’t a total loss, but we didn’t have much of a guide and we missed seeing Budva, as stated in the description of the tour.
Overall very good. We missed one stop but it felt a little disorganized when we went to our lady of rock island. Told we would have boat pick up at certain time but after 15 minutes late they did not show so went back with another group. But overall good tour.
Kotor is such a beautiful place. Love the comfortable van ride around the bay and short ferry ride. Our tour guide was very professional and knowledgeable. However, the reason I booked the tour was to visit Budva as advertised. Instead we went to a new marina/shopping area :(
We got lucky and our tour just consist of 4 people. And Andro the manager was our tour guide at that time. I highly recommend him. He responds quickly and very knowledgeable and passionate about Kotor/Montenegro. If you like history for sure you’ll enjoy his company. He will explain it in a very detailed way. The tour was good, highlighting the best places to see in kotor. Thanks Andro, you’re awesome.
Beautiful country. Guide friendly and knowledgeable. Good tour for cruise passengers to give a flavor of the country. A little stressful finding the fountain meeting point.
We saw the old (Perast) and the new (Lustica). What a contrast. Montenegro is a beautiful country. Our guide Eric was wonderful, personable and quite knowledgeable.
Montenegro is our favorite stop so far.
Our guide, Vasco, was more of a driver that answered questions, rather than a professional guide sharing history and knowledge of the area. There were 6 of us in the minivan. We didn’t know the others before joining the tour. Our driver/guide did not give us a meeting time or a specific place at the first stop, but the 6 of us were good at keeping up with each other. We loved all the stops on the tour, but it was really a panoramic tour rather than one where you will learn much information.
Our guide Pear sp Peter was very accommodating even though things didn’t work out perfectly getting across the road was a big problem. Please don’t miss the stairs
Wonderful experience with very helpful and informative driver. However the travelling was a little uncomfortable due to four passengers in not too big a car. A people carrier is more suited to this numbers of passengers.
Great experience. One of the best tours ever. The guide was most informative and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend his services to anyone
Loved the small group experience and guide was great. He went out of his way to get us in a golf cart in the small village when we lost track of time.
Montenegro is so beautiful! Wish we had longer because there was so much to see and we felt rushed at each stop. The places we stopped at were incredible. But just not enough time.
