Couple tour and delicate meal

5.00The tour itself was great, but the real highlight was the fresh, locally-prepared lunch. It added an authentic touch that captured the spirit of Montenegrin hospitality. I would recommend this to couples especially, preparing and enjoying your meal is great bonding activity.
Great mussels/bad boat ride

3.00The boat ride was uneventful- the driver didn’t talk or point out any points of interest The Mussel farm was AMAZING/ delicious and very nice welcoming people. The boat ride on the way back was no better and finished 20 minutes early- rip off!! Just go the the restaurant and skip the boat!
Excellent, and better than described!

5.00Fabulous day and, we think, very much undersold. We didn’t realize it was a speedboat trip - visited Lady of the Rock, then the mussel farm where we had lunch. Trip was amazing - description in the App needs to be improved!
Not So welcome

3.00Not the best Viator excursion. Boat captain was great, lady of the rock interesting. However the oyster experience was a bit uncomfortable. The boat captain said he’d be back for us in 50 minutes and he was told by oyster farmer that was too long. Very unwelcoming start. They fed us mussels and wine and ignored us. They had many other offerings and we would have stayed for lunch, maybe fish or shrimp that locals were eating but no menu was offered. We were simply ignored. The boat captain was kind enough to drop us in Perast and directed us to an excellent restaurant. I would suggest doing oyster farm tour in ston Croatia which included an interesting demonstration by the farmer who was happy to see us and excited to tell us all about oyster farming.

5.00My padrino and I chose the warmest May day to enjoy like in a fairy tale. We visited everything that Boka has to offer, and in the end we spiced everything up by staying on the top bitch. Great tour, great fun.
