5.00We had a wonderful guide, who gave us exactly the right amount of information on what the Old Town of Kotor had to show, as well as some general information on Montenegro. The duration is just right, allowing you to get a feeling about the area, and then allowing you to further explore whatever you felt like getting more details on. I would definitely recommend this Tour !
Great private tour of Kotor with Nikola!

5.00Nikola was an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and easy to talk to. We learned so much about Kotor’s history, culture, and both past and present politics, giving us a deeper perspective on the city and Montenegro. Arriving by tender was dramatic, and the first view of this cool medieval city was unforgettable. Even a sudden downpour couldn’t spoil the experience—Kotor’s unique beauty, clean streets, and friendly people made it feel magical. Highly recommend Nikola for a personal, insightful, and memorable tour! Nikola’s passion for his hometown was clear, and his easygoing nature made the experience even more enjoyable. We left with not only a richer perspective on Kotor and Montenegro, but also some great recommendations for the rest of our trip. Highly recommend booking a tour with Nikola if you want a personal, insightful, and memorable experience!
