Amazing Experience - What a fantastic tour we had! Stefan was our private guide and in addition to an enormous wealth of knowledge he is such a charming personality. We followed next days with a private Lovcen National Park and Kotor bay tours and all our experiences were remarkable. We surely will return and use Stefan and Miro and Sons again. Highly recomendable!

Great walking tour in Kotor - This was one of the best walking tours we have taken! Our tour guide, Jelena, was awesome! She was so knowledgable about her city. She provided us with lots of inside information and even recommended some restaurants for us to eat. Wear good walking shoes for the cobble stone walkways, water and cool clothing as it get hot. This tour is a great way to get to know Kotor. The town is small so there is not a lot of walking but the roads are uneven. Make sure you have cash on hand for any incidentals, many vendors do not take Credit Cards. I would recommend this highly, especially Jelena as your tour guide.

A Lovely City!! - Kim, our guide, was very informative. This is a beautiful city. We knew nothing about Montenegro and Kim filled us in on its interesting history. Kotor is quite tiny and very picturesque. The old city walls on the hillside are remarkable. Kim strolled with us through the narrow streets of Kotor, pointing out the sights including the impressive Main Gate, the 12th Century Caathedral of St. Tryphon, and the various shops and markets being patronized by the locals. It was a vibrant, friendly atmosphere that we wished we had more time to enjoy. We highly recommend this tour.
