Had a great time and some great food!!
We had a great time and really enjoyed our tour guide! We got to experience trying a few new foods and saw some great historic sites in the town. Our guide was very knowledgeable and full of history about his hometown. We were able to try Olives from the region (for the first time eating them), great Olive Oil, prosciutto and cheeses.

Excellent food tour
The food side of the tour is excellent, Jalena was an engaging and knowledgable guide and the only reason not to give 5 starts is that we felt it dragged a little at the end and could have been wrapped up earlier.
Response from the operator: Dear Traveler, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the food tour and that Jelena's knowledge and engaging personality made your experience memorable. We also truly appreciate your honest comments about the pacing of the tour. Guest feedback like yours is invaluable, and we'll certainly take it into consideration as we continue refining our experiences to ensure they remain enjoyable from start to finish. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back on another tour in the future. Warm regards, Miro & Sons Team

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3 Hour Kotor Food Tour - Rick Steves' Recommended: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kotor.
How much does 3 Hour Kotor Food Tour - Rick Steves' Recommended cost?
+
Prices start at $166 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kotor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Hour Kotor Food Tour - Rick Steves' Recommended take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kotor is not rushed.
Is 3 Hour Kotor Food Tour - Rick Steves' Recommended worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 57 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kotor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Hour Kotor Food Tour - Rick Steves' Recommended?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3 Hour Kotor Food Tour - Rick Steves' Recommended suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Hour Kotor Food Tour - Rick Steves' Recommended?
+
Around 20 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kotor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kotor and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Hour Kotor Food Tour - Rick Steves' Recommended start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kotor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kotor?
+
On Outty we rank every Kotor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Great Montenegro Tour-Lovcen NP,Mausoleum Lovcen,River of Crnojevic,Sveti Stefan, Kotor Bay Escape: Blue Cave, Beach & Swimming Time, Exclusive Blue Cave Kotor Swim, Mamula&Lady of the Rock 3 Hour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kotor?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kotor?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
