Best of Montenegro - Bay of Kotor tour

Posted By : Hannah_K
Great day all round. Friendly and informative tour guide and driver. Early start meant border crossing to Montenegro was quick. Loved Kotor and the guide there was passionate and adored the kittens. Boat trip to Lady in the rocks is definitely worth the 10 euros as there is not much to do in Perest. Went in a small group of 6 which worked well.

Our guide Gabriel was wonderful. Unfortunately the day was very hot and it prevented us from exploring Kotor more. Our Lady of the Rock was lovely. The wait at the border was over two hours and we had an issue with the bus driver (waited over half and hour on our way there).

Very nice and long boat tour! The skipper and the German-speaking tour guide really take their time and explain everything in detail! Slow trip around the islands so that everyone can see and photograph everything! Long stop for swimming! It was really worth it!

This tour is by far the best way to see Montenegro in a day. Starting early, you beat the crowds, especially at the border post. Amico are very professional, and the tour was superb. The driver and tour guide were both customer service orientated and knowledgable. The guide explained everyhing well and her passion enhanced the day. We visited Kotor and were given freetime there to do our own thing, which we appreciated. Then on to Perast, a quaint little village. All in all, a very enjoyable day, and a tour that I highly recommend

Amico Tours were wonderful. The tour started early and avoided congestion at the border crossings and the large bus crowds at the stop offs. The tour guide was personable, humorous, knowledgeable, and resourceful.
Thoroughly enjoyable experience exploring a beautiful part of the country and a great option to escape the heat and daytime crowds in Dubrovnik Old City.
The small minibus was modern and comfortable, albeit a little cramped for my large frame.

This was a very long day but it was lovely and worth it!

We started with an early morning meet up time - I was 5 mins late so apologies to others that were in my group! We met at 620am to beat the traffic at the boarder crossing and for good reason! Just around the boarder they stopped briefly for a coffee and bathroom break.

The guide and the drive were lovely and informative. We made our way to our first stop at Perast and Lady of the Lake. I am a breakfast eater so I skipped the boat ride and found a lovely spot for a breakfast buffet, coffee, and morning champagne. The scenery is absolutely remarkable and gave Lake Como vibes. I could have stayed here all day.

Our second stop was at the Old City in Kotor. The landscape and architecture is remarkable and fairytale-esq. we had a local guide take us on a brief walking tour and she was perfect - even showed us where her grandparents live and talked of their rich culture. The city itself was filled with tourists - too many. And the shops were surprisingly filled with fake designer goods.

I’m so glad I went on this trip. The group was small thankfully and the van spacious and comfortable. It was a great way to spend the day!

What I’ll remember:
- the tour guide who shared the negative stereotypes of people on the region (Montenegro is lazy, Albanians are criminals, etc.)
- being dropped off in the wind and rain on Parast while a few people in our group took a boat ride to the church. We were told to walk around and have lunch. However, we had just had a 2-hour lunch break; it was miserable outside; and no restaurants would serve us because we were with a tour group and they cater to hotel visitors. Also, there was one public restroom in the whole area and it was disgusting.
- We were unexpectedly dropped off far from our starting point, in the rain, for some lame reason that didn’t make sense.
- The tour operator and driver were not attuned to the needs of passengers. We had to ask for air conditions and lights.
- For some reason, the tour group got crammed into one bus and the other bus was sent home. It was hot, crowded and wet on that bus. Older people were forced to sit in uncomfortable seats with the wheel well. One passenger even had to sit up front with the driver. Just a miserable experience.

My partner and I had a great day! 6:20am start seems early, but worth it. We got enough free time to explore some of Kotor and enjoy some lunch after a tour with a local guide. Perast was also very nice, and Our Lady of the Rocks was worth the €10 boat trip, it lasted around 40 minutes which was just enough.

Our guide Martina was very friendly and knowledgeable, we got to find out some really interesting facts and history from her! Our tour was also bilingual, I don't speak Spanish, but it was really impressive. The driver (I'm sorry I forgot his name!) was excellent and got us to our destinations swiftly and safely - would definitely recommend!

Took over an hour to pass the borders each way. Nothing significant to experience at the destination. Bus was hot and boring drive.
The guide left us at middle of nowhere and gave the wrong direction for the old town
