We cross the border at dawn to discover the Bay of Kotor before the tour buses. Eleven hours to see four unforgettable places in Montenegro in a single day.
We cross the border at dawn to reach the Bay of Kotor before most of the tour buses. First stop: Perast, a Baroque village with Venetian churches on the shores of the deepest fjord in the Mediterranean. From there we take a small boat to Our Lady of the Rocks, a Baroque church built on an artificial islet — the only one in the Adriatic raised by sailors who kept filling the sea with stones.
We continue to Kotor, a medieval town and World Heritage Site. A historic centre walled on every side, hidden squares, a 12th-century cathedral and, if you fancy it, a climb (at your own pace) up to St John's Fortress for the views you see on every Montenegro postcard. Free time for lunch on a terrace.
On the way back we stop at Budva for a panoramic view of its Old Town and at Sveti Stefan, the most photographed island hotel in the Adriatic (photo stop at the viewpoint). Back in Dubrovnik before sunset.
We pick you up at your hotel or accommodation and set off in an air-conditioned minivan towards the Croatia-Montenegro border.
Border crossing (15-30 min depending on the season). Remember to bring a valid passport. Montenegro is not in the EU.
Arrival in the Baroque village of Perast on the shores of the Bay of Kotor. We take a water taxi (10 min) to the church built on an artificial islet. Free time to visit the church and return.
Arrival in Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 2 hours of free time to explore the walled Old Town, the cathedral and squares, and have lunch. Optional: climb up to St John's Fortress (8€, 1h30 return).
Panoramic view of Budva's Old Town, one of the oldest towns on the Adriatic.
Stop at the panoramic viewpoint over the most photographed island hotel in the Adriatic. 15 minutes for photos.
We head back to Dubrovnik, crossing the border again. Estimated arrival at your accommodation around 18:30-19:00.
Times may vary depending on waiting times at the border. The stops and order of the itinerary may be adjusted depending on the group and conditions on the day.
We only charge a deposit in advance of 15 €/person to secure your spot. The balance (41 €/person) is paid on the day of the tour, in cash or by Revolut. That way, if the trip has to be cancelled due to bad weather, you get your money back straight away.
Up to 24 h before the tour: full refund of the deposit.
If we cancel due to sea conditions or the cave being closed: 100% refund or a free date change.
You pay the remaining 41 €/person on the day of the tour, in cash (EUR) or by Revolut.
A very well-organised tour from Dubrovnik. We crossed the border early and avoided the queues. Perast is a lovely little village and the church on the islet is a gem. Kotor takes you back to the Middle Ages. A full day, and a very fulfilling one.
We were staying in Dubrovnik and wanted to see Montenegro without hiring a car. This trip covers the essentials in one day. We saw Perast, Kotor with enough free time, Budva and the postcard view of Sveti Stefan.
Being picked up straight from the hotel was a great call. Very comfortable air-conditioned minivan. The local guide knew every corner and every fun fact. Kotor without the crowds at 11:30 was incredible.
A perfect day. Leaving at 7 is tough but worth it because we got to Kotor before the cruise ships. The little boat to Our Lady of the Rocks is a unique experience, a Baroque church in the middle of the fjord. Recommended.
Better than any huge coach tour. A 16-seat minivan, a friendly atmosphere, stops tailored to the group. The border only took us 20 minutes to cross. We were back in Dubrovnik at 18:30 with time for dinner.
Mario answered all our questions beforehand on WhatsApp: passport, what to bring, times. The tour delivered: well-judged stops, enough free time in Kotor, a knowledgeable guide. We'd do it again.
The Our Lady of the Rocks church is a special place: a Baroque church built on an ARTIFICIAL islet made by sailors throwing stones into the sea. A beautiful story. Worth it on its own.
A very complete tour. We saw the highlights of Montenegro in a day: Perast, Kotor (medieval walls and squares), a panoramic stop in Budva and Sveti Stefan for the obligatory photo. Worth every euro.
Punctual pick-up at our hotel near Pile Gate. Friendly guide who spoke very good English. The boat to Our Lady of the Rocks was a little adventure the children loved. Recommended for families.
We fell in love with Kotor. The medieval centre with its narrow streets and hidden squares has something magical about it. We had 2 hours free, enough for a relaxed wander and lunch on a terrace overlooking the fjord.
The border was the only annoying bit: in August there's usually a queue. But everything else was perfect. The guide gave us loads of historical information about the area, he wasn't just a driver. Good value for money.
Sveti Stefan is one of those places you see online and wonder whether it's real. It is. The viewpoint stop is short (15 min) but enough for photos. The island hotel is stunning seen from above.
We'd wanted to visit Montenegro for years and this tour was the perfect solution. No driving, no stress, seeing the most important sights. Recommended for anyone spending a few days in Dubrovnik.
Excellent as a first taste of Montenegro. If you like it, you can always come back with more time. Personally, we found Perast the most authentic, Kotor the prettiest, and Budva touristy but OK.

Yes. Montenegro is not in the EU: you need a valid passport to cross the border. A Spanish national ID card is not enough. There can be queues at the border in July-August.
EU citizens don't need a visa. Other nationalities should check before booking.
11 hours in total: we leave Dubrovnik at 07:00 and return around 18:00-19:00. The actual time in Montenegro is about 7 hours (excluding the border and transfers).
Perast (a village on the Bay of Kotor + boat to the Our Lady of the Rocks church), Kotor (UNESCO-listed medieval Old Town with free time), Budva (panoramic view) and Sveti Stefan (photo stop at the iconic islet).
Yes, it's included in the price. It's a small water taxi of about 10 minutes from Perast to the artificial islet with the Baroque church.
The guide on board the minivan is local and speaks English. Mario looks after you personally on WhatsApp before and after the tour.
Yes. In Kotor you'll have about 2 hours of free time to explore the medieval Old Town and have lunch at one of the restaurants on the main square or by the harbour. Lunch not included (15-30 €).
You only pay the 15 €/person deposit online via Stripe. The balance (41 €/person) is paid to the guide on the day of the tour, in cash (EUR) or by Revolut.
The tour runs in all conditions (it's by road). Only the boat to Our Lady of the Rocks is cancelled if there's a heavy storm, in which case we see the church from the shore.

Maximum 16 people per minivan. If you'd like a private tour for your group, we can arrange it separately.
With GetYourGuide, Viator or TripAdvisor you book through a platform, but the people who take you out are a local Croatian operator. If something changes, you end up opening support tickets that take ages. With us, everything is sorted with a single WhatsApp — directly with the people who run the tour.
