★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,212 reviews · 11 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $72

Spend a full day driving from Dubrovnik into Montenegro, with stops in Perast and Kotor, plus optional Our Lady of the Rocks by boat.

“Negative part: I booked option including Perast, Kotor and Budva, but driver/guide only took us 6 people to Perast, Kotor, without visiting Budva (shows 2hours in itinerary). The driver/guide said that he was told only including two places, no Budva, so clearly something within organizing went wrong. It was disappointing. Positive part: visited in January, not crowded, very peaceful, both Perast and Kotor are beautiful. Kotor has 3 hours, if weather and fitness allow, you can climb up Kotor fortress for nice views, normally with entry fee 15 Euro, but during my visit in January, no fee applied. Pick up was arranged in advance via WhatsApp, good communication.”

“The day was very well organised, our guide Olya was efficient, informative and funny, driver was Miguel, who was also excellent. Olya swapped the itinerary around to avoid crowds from cruise ships in Kotor and Perast, which worked well. Maria the tour guide on Kotor was very informative This is a long day trip, we were collected at 6.20am with 45mins of pick ups before getting going and didn’t get dropped back until 6.30pm The border controls can be notoriously slow, we were lucky today with 20mins outbound and 40 mins on return, but it can take a lot longer ! The scenery is breathtaking and Kotor quite unique, we…”

“Fun, energetic guides. This trip exceeded our expectations. There was an issue with the boat seats staining the clothes of travelers however the crew brought us on two more stops/lengthened our trip. I was not aware that we could have been picked up and brought there- this would have been ideal as parking in Split was atrocious. The trip itself featured stops in several spots/islands and we had a lot of fun swimming and walking about. It was relaxing.”

Sasha, our passionate guide, was a civil engineer. He decided to change his career to be a guide and he absolutely adores the national park. There was so much pride in his storytelling I am convinced that he loves what he does. 6 of us had an amazing time, thank you, Sasha!”
