Full-Day Montenegro Private Tour from Dubrovnik

The whole day was just fantastic everywhere you looked was spectacular views Rosana our driver was so attentive and pleasent she made sure we had a real fun day.

Best day trio with our very knowledgeable guide, Baldo, around Kotor, Perast and Budva. Stunning scenery, lots of history and anecdotes, great coffee over the “southern fjord”. On a practical side, very comfortable car and safe driver. A must do if you are staying in Dubrovnik.

We had this private Montenegro tour in later August. We decided on a private tour over a group tour primarily for Covid concerns. One thing that I did not understand prior to s few days before the tour that private tours do not include a guide who speaks on the road during the trip ( like in a bus when you are on a group tour). The driver we had spoke relatively good English and provided some basic information but he was not a real guide, and sometimes we felt it as a disadvantage. We did not want a guide inside cities we visited, but somebody more knowledgeable on the road will be helpful. We were provided enough time in each city we visited ( Kotor, Budva). We did not have enough time to see Perast but were provided 30 minutes to see an island church in the city of Perast. We spent 2 hours in Kotor and 2 hours in Budva. The drive to Budva and from Budva was heavily jammed by traffic and we spent about 45 minutes at the border as well. I am not sure if this is a good idea to see both cities in the same day, because of the usual heavy summer traffic, although I am glad we saw Budva at the end. It is lively and the old town is very picturesque, although probably not historically as interesting as Kotor. Kotor is a must and you can spend full four hours there, I wish we could have 3 hours in each of this places but that would make the trip way too long. I also wish the driver would drop us and pick us up in Budva a little closer to the old town to allow us to save more time. There was parking right next to the old town but we parked in a garage 15 minutes away. What I did not like was the fact that the driver constantly complained that the trip was long and at the end of the trip asked for tips. Since the tour was already not cheap, I declined his request and he was seemingly angry and unhappy. Also, although we have been promised a van, we were given a medium-size SUV instead, which was not very comfortable for the family of four. These two things made a bad impression and made us feel uncomfortable. However, the owner of the agency, Josip, dealt very professionally with this situation. He organized for us a very comfortable and cheap ride to the airport and was very helpful in all organization issues and advice. Overall, I would recommend this tour. Kotor and Budva are great places to visit, church in Perast is very interesting and the tour was very well organized. Just it will be a good ideal to discuss all details beforehand and know what to expect.
