5.00This was very easy to book and a very reasonable cost. The team were very helpful and patient with us. The speed boat doesn’t carry a lot of passengers so it was easy to hear our cap, Mark, tell us about Our Lady of the Rock and Perast. We had time to visit both places which was just right for us but also gave a taste should you want to revisit. We felt safe on the boat and have every confidence in our captain. He was particularly kind when we tried to help which he clearly didn’t need 😁. We were cruise ship passengers and it offered much better value than via the ship. It is a short distance from the tender drop off point.
Beautiful Bay of Kotor, average tour

4.00The Bay of Kotor is gorgeous and worth seeing from a boat. This particular tour used a regular motor boat (not the super fast zodiac I was envisioning) which seats ~8 people not very comfortably. The tour motored out to the Lady of the Rocks and gave us too much time for the tiny island and the little church, and then motored over to Perast and gave us too much time to see the 1-street village that's really best viewed from the water. Then we motored back to port. The guide shared some interesting bits of information along the way and played some music on his phone. I felt the tour was somewhat overpriced (don't bother booking ahead, there are a bunch of identical tours available at the same pier).
Totally recommend

5.00We booked the 5pm 2 hour tour going from kotor to lady of the rocks and Perast. There was nobody else booked on in the evening so we had the boat to ourselves! This was definitely the best time to do the tour. I was abit nervous and told this to our tour guide / skipper Masan. Masan was great, he told me where to sit for the most stability and explained how the boat works and how he needs to hit waves in certain ways which provided me a lot of reassurance. We got to Our lady of the Rocks and it was empty! Which was fantastic for us (we believe this was due to it being an evening tour) We were left in Our Lady for 20 minutes which is more than enough time to walk around it and view inside. We then had 40 minutes in Perast which again was plenty of time to walk along the shore front. We then had our return to Kotor where you get to look at the breathtaking views. If I can tell future clients anything , it is GET THE EVENING TIME SLOT!! A huge thank you to Masan !! we had a great time

5.00It was a 2 hours boat trip with a very professional and friendly captain Sam. Personally I didn't find the Lady of the Rocks worth it and would have preferred to have more time to spend in Perast. Nevertheless I enjoyed the ride very much. It's a wonderful experience and cherished memory.
Great tour with Egemen
