Mis-sold trip - The trip is a little mis-sold. We had the expectation booking a private tour would give us longer in each of the destinations. The Kotor old town tour is not covered. You only get about an hour in each place and never even get to visit Sveti Stefan (only see it from a viewpoint). Our driver Davor was the only reason why we enjoyed this trip, although a lot of the itinerary was out of his hands he did everything to be as accommodating as possible. He was friendly and helpful wherever he could be, so definitely request him if you go ahead with the trip. I wouldn’t recommend this trip as you don’t get what you pay for.

Excellent tour. - My Husband and I were met at the entrance to the Port by our driver Dan, who speaks good English. Dan drove us to Perast and Budva which we explored on our own, as well as showing us numerous interesting sights. At the end of the tour he dropped us by the entrance to Kotor Old Town which we walked around on our own It is a charming area. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour.
