5.00Bruna has lived in Kotor all her life, so could tell us not only the history but about everyday life today. She was engaging and informative, and helped us to explore the hidden nooks and crannies of her city. Communication was clear and we found her without a problem. She also gave us a hint to watch as our cruise ship left the Bay of Kotor through the Chains, as it might be a tight fit!

5.00Doing a tour instead of just walking around made it much more meaningful! Miroslav shared with us that he was new, and we never would have known – he was like an old pro! Well-prepared, organized, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. (In fact, a couple overheard him and asked if they could join the tour. He handled it graciously – which I appreciated since we had booked a private tour - although that said much about how impressed they were with what they heard!) And at the end, I had trouble getting Internet access, and he actually called our boat tour and walked us over there. He went above and beyond!
Great introduction to the Old Town.
