2.Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 36 reviews · 4 hours · from $94Best value

Meet your English-speaking driver-guide outside Kotor port for a four-hour small-group tour through Perast, an optional boat trip to Our Lady of the Rocks, Budva, and Kotor Old Town. Guides may include Petar or Andro, and the group is limited to eight.

“We were fortunate to spend the day with Petar on our panoramic tour of Kotor! EXCELLENT communications via WhatsApp well before the tour and even after! He is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, flexible, and kind. We had a great day and were so happy to have a guide to ourselves for the day, rather than the usual herding around in a group. I would highly, highly recommend that you chose this tour -- with luck you might have Petar as your guide!”

It was truly a remarkable experience!! For those who enjoy being connected, our guide provided portable wifi added bonus for this day in age!!
