What To Expect
Kotor Old Town
There will be a guided tour and free time. Located in one of the most beautiful bays in the world, Kotor, a city of merchants and famous sailors, has a lot to say. The old town of Kotor is the best-preserved medieval urban environment, typical of towns built in the 12th and 14th centuries. Medieval architecture and numerous monuments of cultural heritage included Kotor in the UNESCO list of "World Natural and Cultural Heritage". Buildings spread throughout the city, intertwined with streets and squares.
Perast
Perast is surely one of the most beautiful places in Kotor bay. Today it is often called the quietest town in Boka. Its narrow streets and numerous, mostly abandoned renaissance, and baroque palaces, testify about the richness of the Kotor bay. Perast used to be a town of sailors, and it was known by that even outside the space of Montenegro. We can see even today that famous stone housed and captain’s palaces standing out.

Lovely scenery and a good way to see some of the sights.

4.00The free time in Kotor was good with the short optional history. Our host Dragnma was brilliant. The boat was a bit shabby in parts, the sunbed had definitely seen better days but the food was lovely, good choice of drinks and the staff very friendly and attentive. We didn’t get the chance to see the blue caves or have the swim because of the weather unfortunately but the team did their best to provide an alternative solution.
Great view of Boka way...

4.00Great view of Boka way and our lady of rocks church/ island. Very limited time spent in Kotor. The Russian speaking guide did not turn up at Kotor. So same guide had to double up. Very little vegetarian food options on the boat. WIFI not working. There may be cheaper tours available for same excursions if purchased locally.
The trip was good overall.

1.00The trip was good, but I was overwhelmed when I found out that most everyone on the boat paid 40 euro/ person, and I paid 52 pounds / person. So I would advise anyone to book this trip on site and by the number provided as they come and collect payment from any hotel and not through this site. I felt I was robbed.
Rushed but great scenery

5.00Great tour, very well organized, excellent guide, great communication, and beautiful sites. Both the land tour and boat were great!
Avoid this trip if you value your safety and peace and quiet.

2.00Our guide was the one good thing about this trip. Zero safety instructions on boarding. Hidden visitor tax cost for 15 minutes in Kotor. Overcrowded boat to packed blue cave for 15 minute dip. Jumping off back of boat looked more fun than cave trip - I would pick this option and no hidden cost! Constant ‘noise’ from blaring speakers. I would avoid this trip if you value your safety and want some peace and quiet.
Great experience in Kotor

5.00We had a wonderful boat tour to Kotor yesterday. The boat was comfortable, the tour was very interesting. Special thanks to the guide Dragana for her excellent presentation in 3 languages and her friendly attitude. I recommend.
The shipping and also...

4.00The boat ride and also the manager were absolutely superb! Kotor and Herceg Novi were beautiful and the ride was extremely pleasant. The staff was friendly and it had a good offer of board. The only thing I and too complained about was the drive to Blue Cave and the communication to it: With about 50 people in a nutshell without a life jacket and extremely swinging was not pleasant and all persons were relatively poorly afterwards. If I had known that it was unsuitable for seasick people and these 10 euros swim for just under 10 minutes but not worth such a bad round trip, I would have stayed on board and enjoyed the more pleasant waters there.
Zooitje ongeregeld, maar wel een mooie dag

3.00We joined the Boka Bay tour yesterday. The tour guide on the boat was friendly and shared a lot of interesting information, definitely a highlight. The drinks provided were also good. We didn’t try the food, so I can’t comment on that. A major downside was the visit to the Blue Cave. It’s not included in the main price. You have to pay an extra €10 per person. For that, you’re transferred onto an overcrowded boat and given about 10 minutes to swim near the cave. Unfortunately, I was one of the last people who had the chance to jump in, and by then, others were already climbing back on board. They weren’t exactly polite or considerate, so I barely had a chance to get into the water, meaning I essentially paid €10 for nothing. The staff didn’t manage the situation or the crowd at all, which made the whole thing feel like a waste of money. Also, since the boat is covered, you don’t really get a proper view of the cave either. The other stops along the tour were short but enjoyable enough. However, the overall vibe on the trip was a bit disappointing. Many people on board seemed only focused on themselves, with little respect for others, which took away from the experience.
