Great tour! - We really enjoyed this trip. Our driver Sinisa was very nice and helpful giving tips in each area. Our favourite place was Mostar, where Sinisa recommended a lovely local place for lunch where the food was fabulous! We were due to have a longer period of time in Mostar, but unfortunately due to other members of the trip not obeying the time limit in an other area, our Mostar time was cut short. This was disappointing as Mostar was such a nice place! Our border crossing was quick both going to Bosnia and returning, we only had a small bus of 8 people so it ran quite smooth. Would definitely book a tour again with these. We really enjoyed the experience.

Great Day in Montenegro - We had an incredible day in Montenegro! The tour was beautiful--we stopped in Perast, Kotor, and Budva. It was perfect timing for all three stops. Theo was an amazin tour guide and driver. This was a great overview to see the Montenegro coast and Bay of Kotor. It's such an easy trip from Dubrovnik. I highly reccommend!!

A great overview of the Montenegro Coast - The Montenegro Full-Day Trip was a great way to explore the Montenegro Coast. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the area and its history and was especially helpful in navigating through what would have clearly been a mess of traffic without his in-depth knowledge of the roads. He was also a great guide to the best restaurants that locals would prefer and that were not a pricy as places within the more tourist-centric areas. Perast was a lovely little town - a great place to stop for coffee and breakfast on the water. Kotor’s Old Town was incredibly preserved and a great look at a more Venetian influenced town.

Great day trip, stunning views - We left Dubrovnik early and our guide Nico took care of everything for everyone. He was very informative and very organised. The Lady of the Rocks was just beautiful, we were lucky as the weather was perfect ☀️. Kotor was just as nice, lovely little streets with shops and restaurants. Well worth the early start and cost !

Fantastic day trip from Dubrovnik - I had the best part of two full days in Dubrovnik, and after feeling I had pretty much booked up to see all there was to see of the city on my first day, I started looking at other things to do. A search of tours started to bring up some interesting day trips, but two that took my eye were Mostar and Kotor. Being a fan of WW1 history, I probably will visit Sarajevo one day, so thought I would save Bosnia and Mostar for another day, while the chances of me visiting Montenegro were pretty remote, and felt it was a good chance to see somewhere that it was even less likely I would see off my own back in future. The tour starts bright and early (and I mean EARLY!!!!!) outside the Pile Gate of the Old City (good tip, there is next to nothing open at this time in the morning, as even the little Supermarket at the bus stop does not even open this early, so make sure you get your bottles of water and stuff the night before), and this seems to be where ALL the Mostar and Kotor tours meet up, so can be a bit of a mad house. The guides here do not seem to want to tell you where they are from our where they are going, and if you walk up to them and say "are you the Kotor tour" they either ignore you or ask for your name, then walk away without a answer..... so do not panic if your tour is not there or your name is not on any lists. Eventually a bus did show up, and for once it was refreshing when a guide started calling names out. Our guide for the day was Niko, and he was excellent, with constant updates on how the tour will go, some history and local facts, and keeping us updated with times and where to meet. The bus ride from Dubrovnik did not take that long, as the border is just past the airport which is 30 minutes outside the city, and the bus times are perfectly set so that you are through the border in the morning and late in the afternoon in time to avoid being there longer than you need to (on the way back, when we showed up there was 2 buses ahead of us, and by the time we get to the passport control, there was 10 buses behind us). Once past the border there is a short stop at a petrol station where you can grab a coffee and it also gives you the chance to buy some water and snacks for the day ahead. As you drive down the Adriatic Coast, you really do feel like you are in Italy at Lake Como or something, and not what was Yugoslavia just a couple of decades ago (its really something being pointed to Novak Djokovic's summer mansion on the side of a hill, or the villa that George Clooney was in town just a few weeks earlier to put a despot down to buy). First stop is Perast and the "Our Lady of the Rocks" church located on a small island out in the bay. Very much worth paying to head across to the Island, and spending 30 minutes or so exploring there, and once back on the mainland, you get 45 minutes or so to walk around Perast, where there is not all that much to see and do. After this we make our way down to Kotor, where you get a chance to grab some lunch before you can make your way to walk around the city (Kotor is like a much more compact version of Dubrovnik and it is really nice to walk around for a hour or two and get lost, then grab a beer before the bus back to Dubrovnik). All in all, this is the MUST do tour when in Dubrovnik and looking to get away from the city for a day trip. Niko was a fantastic guide and really made the whole day special.

Montenegro in a Day - Niko was an outstanding tour guide—passionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive to everyone’s needs and concerns. A tour becomes truly memorable with an approachable guide who has a fantastic personality. Thanks to Niko, this trip to Montenegro will be unforgettable. The company was also excellent to work with, always communicative and supportive. I wholeheartedly recommend them!

Best trip - Maybe.. extend the time at Lady of the Rocks from 20 to 30 mins? Kotor is a nice place to visit. Apart from that, if you are a cats lover, you will be more joy here. Thanks to the driver and a coordinator who provide safety and information to us.

Not too sure 🤔 - The views are well worth it but not too sure on the tour as a whole. The boat trip is a 3 minute journey to the island at a cost of €10 each to which you will spend 30 mins there and it’s €3 to go inside the museum and church if you want to. Koror is a lovely old place with streets lined with cafes and bars but we were left to our own devices to walk this historical place - what a shame. Was looking forwards to Budva but that never happened as we headed home to be dropped off somewhere different to our pickup point. One last point please oil that squeaky mini bus
