5.00This was a real breath taking experience. You will not get a better view of the whole Kotor bay anywhere Else like on this Downhill Ride. It’s Highly recommended. Some Spots gives you the complete overview of the crooky road shape of the Serpentis of KOTOR. A very special thanks to our Tour Guide Ivana. She have a pretty good knowledge of the bay and its history.

5.00This tour was an incredible way to enjoy the Njegos Mausoleum and the views of Kotor. At every turn there was a new breathtaking view! We booked this tour last minute and they accommodated our tight departure schedule. Our guide, Ivana was fun, very knowledgeable about the area. There were no hidden fees - the price included all entrance fees and the taxi ride up the mountain.
Incredible and most memorable Experience

5.00I did this tour when my cruise ship was in port for the day. I've been on 30 cruises and have done dozens of shore excursions and this tour was one of the most memorable. The views and experience were absolutely stunning and I enjoyed learning more about Montenegro and Kotor. Not only was the experience itself amazing, the pre-tour communication and logistics were top-notch. Once you're dropped off at the top of the mountain, you have the option of climbing the 461 steps to the mausoleum and it's well worth it. I'm posting a pano image that I hope renders well on this site. Afterwards, you have a snack at the lookout restaurant (included), before starting the descent which was safe and well controlled. Although it was a warm summy day, the combination of altitude and breeze on the bike make it very comfortable. We ended the ride back at the port.
An even more beautiful view after each corner

5.00This was the highlight of our trip! Milia was a truly excellent guide- punctual, helpful, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and engaging. He extended the trip at no extra cost and lent us clothes when we got wet- he was always keen to ensure we had the best possible experience. The bikes were excellent and the views were sublime.

5.00The Njegos Mausoleum is a must-see, and the views down are a spectacular perspective of Kotor and the surrounding bays. Seeing as we went in April, we had an exhilarating experience witnessing the snowy peaks of the mountain all the way down to a warm spring breeze at the bottom. We were having a great time going down the mountain; you can go as fast or as slow as you’d like. It’s certainly for both adrenaline seekers and casual cyclists as you’re almost fully going downhill. He made sure to go at our pace, and emphasized safety. Our guide Milija was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable about the country’s/city’s history, so that was definitely an added benefit. Loved hearing all the stories; thank you again for an excellent tour, and I definitely recommend to all are even mildly interested!!
I recommend!
