★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,212 reviews · 11 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $72Our pick

Travel from Dubrovnik through the Bay of Kotor to Perast and Kotor, with Budva added on the small-group option. Expect hotel pickup, an air-conditioned vehicle, free time to explore, and an optional €10 boat ride to Our Lady of the Rocks. Guides vary, including Niko, Bo, Adnan, Robert, and Milko.

“Terrible trip. Literally nothing to do at Perast if you don’t pay extra for a boat ride. One restaurant open for a 1.5 hour stop, no shops, nothing. Our “tour guide” / driver was not a guide. He pointed out shopping malls and hotels under construction as we passed them as “very interesting” things. No information of cultural or historical significance, and the couple things he did mention weren’t factually correct. Another reviewer mentioned he had verbal diarrhoea, which is accurate. Nothing of value came from his mouth. There were 9 of us crammed into a minivan and he passive aggressively fought with my husband over having the armrest down…”

Travel from Dubrovnik to Montenegro in a small, air-conditioned group of up to 19. You’ll see Verige, Perast, Our Lady of the Rocks by optional boat, and Kotor Old Town, with guides such as Matej, Jelena, or Gabriel leading the day.

“This was a very disappointing tour as it was bilingual, which was not mentioned in the description when I signed up for the tour. Although the bus was ~ 50/50 split English and Spanish speaking, the Spanish speaking tour guide did the majority of the speaking so I missed lots of information provided. It would have worked with headsets for translation, but that was not how they worked the tour. When we showed in Kotor, the guide provided was Spanish so we had to walk around while they secured a separate English guide. I gave it two stars only because the English speaking guide acknowledged the issue and tried her…”

Travel from Dubrovnik to Montenegro by air-conditioned minibus or coach, cruise from Perast to Our Lady of the Rocks, and explore Kotor with a local guide. You get hotel pickup, an English or Spanish-speaking guide, and about two hours of free time in Kotor.

“This was a nice tour. This time of year places do get crowded. Kotor Old Town and especially Lady of the Rock were so busy with travelers, considering the Lady of the Rock is such a tiny island. One suggestion would he to allow future travelers with strollers to let use the stroller while in Kotor and off the bus. It was a super hot day and we were told to leave the stroller on the bus. Kotor is flat and super walkable and I saw lots of people with strollers. We had our infant in a carrier who got overheated that day. The only issue would have been on…”

“Amazing Tour! From start to finish this was professionally run and an excellent experience! Pickup was timely and I was able to get assistance via WhatsApp when I had trouble locating the meeting place. It was a small group in a luxury Mercedes van with comfortable seats and great AC. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and gave lots of interesting information during our drive, which felt very safe. We made a short pit stop for coffee before stopped in the beautiful city of Perast where we met with another wonderful local guide before embarking on a boat tour to Our Lady of the Rock where we had time to…”

“We had Luka (spelling may be wrong) as our tour guide and driver. My boyfriend said his favorite part of the trip wasn't the stops we made but rather the stories from Luka along the way. We had a tumultuous day in a 'everything that can go wrong will go wrong' type of way, but his honesty and humor with the bumps in the road made it enjoyable. I don't think the tour would have been worth it with almost any other guide, but we got very lucky!”
