Great trip, beautiful...
Great trip, beautiful scenery on way to the original First Olympic venue. Many ruins and the museum was outstanding. Quaint small town near the site. Plenty of small shops near the port.

Very Enjoyable Full-Day Tour From Kotor
I discovered Mont Travelers when I was reading a Roll Call for a cruise that preceded mine and was also stopping in Kotor. I checked out Mont Travelers on Trip Advisor and after seeing a great rating, I contacted them. After numerous emails with Dimitrij and Aleks of Mont Travelers, I booked a customized private shore excursion for a group of 6 people during our stop in Kotor. Mont Travelers was flexible with the pick-up and drop off times and made sure we returned to the ship in a timely manner. We took their Best of Montenegro day tour. Our guide Djordje (George) and our driver, Mladen, were waiting at the entrance to the port, a short walk from where the ship tendered. The tour climbed the mountains surrounding Kotor and that included negotiating 25 serpentine turns. Mladen was an excellent, considerate driver, who made sure no one got car sick from the many sharp turns. George was very knowledgeable about the political and religious history of Montenegro, and the people as well. The tour was filled with many opportunities to take picturesque photos. The tour had several stops. First, we stopped in the small village of Njegusi, where George took us into a restaurant's smokehouse and he explained the process of making prosciutto and we could see many smoked hams that were aging. We then went to Cetinje (built in 1482 and was the former royal capital of Montenegro), where we walked around the town and visited a small church. David pointed out many significant, well-preserved buildings there. Next, we headed for Budva. Along the way we stopped in Brajci, which had sweeping views of the Budva Riviera. Once in Budva we stopped for lunch and then toured the Old Town of Budva, which was had narrow cobble-stoned streets and an old church. Upon returning to Kotor, we had a guided tour through the Old Town, an interesting walled city. Everyone enjoyed the tour, and I would highly recommend Mont Travelers if you travel to Kotor and Montenegro.

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Best of Montenegro – Budva, Cetinje & Kotor Bay Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kotor.
How much does Best of Montenegro – Budva, Cetinje & Kotor Bay Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $143 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 Best of Montenegro – Budva, Cetinje & Kotor Bay Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 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 Best of Montenegro – Budva, Cetinje & Kotor Bay Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 54 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 Best of Montenegro – Budva, Cetinje & Kotor Bay Tour?
+
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 Best of Montenegro – Budva, Cetinje & Kotor Bay Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Best of Montenegro – Budva, Cetinje & Kotor Bay Tour?
+
Around 19 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 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Best of Montenegro – Budva, Cetinje & Kotor Bay Tour 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.
