Kotor Old Town Walking Tour - Milosz was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot from him. He also recommended some of the best pizza I’ve ever had at Pizza Pronto. He really did a great job and we couldn’t be happier.

Knowledgeable local. Great historical overview - Tour guide Ivana, whose twin is also a guide, walked us through every corner of old town, where her grandparents lived and how the cultural traditions are maintained by the locals. A local expert! Multilingual. Highly recommended.

Relax and enjoy!! - We had an incredible time in Kotor! Our guide gave us the background and history of the Old Town and provided recommendations and details for places to eat and things to do. Impossible to beat this valve. Our guide was personable and such a sweet person. She grew up in Kotor along with generations of her family. Can’t imagine having a more knowledgeable guide. We are looking forward to visiting again. I would highly recommend this tour to start your day. Enjoy!!

Over priced - The guide was very good, but the tour was way over-priced for just one hour. The only reason we did it was because the longer and lower priced tours were sold out

Good Tour but not a good value - After some confusion and waiting 1 1/2 hours for our guide Jelena (not her fault), off we went to tour Old Town. The tour was very good and we learned quite a bit. Jelena is knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts. I will say however, it was a very expensive tour, more than $80 USD, and not worth that price for an hour tour.
