A delightful and informative afternoon on and around the Bay of Kotor
We had an amazing experience with Miro & Sons’ private tour of Perast and Our Lady of the Rock! Sandra, who coordinated the tour for us, was so easy to communicate with and very responsive to emails. On the morning before our tour, when we were having coffee and an outdoor cafe in Kotor Old Town, I was surprised (and impressed!) when she recognized me and came over for a chat. Our tour guide, Bogdan, was a delight. He was extraordinarily helpful and informative, and we learned so much from him. It was especially interesting to hear his perspective as a Montenegrin on the history and current status of his city, his country, and the region. He was very flexible with our itinerary, and at the end of our tour, he added on an extra excursion to a breathtaking viewpoint partway up the mountain. We wholeheartedly recommend Miro & Sons!
Response from the operator: Dear Traveller, Thank you for your thoughtful and detailed review! We're so glad to hear that Sandra’s coordination and Bogdan’s expertise made your experience in Perast and Our Lady of the Rock truly unforgettable. It’s wonderful that you appreciated the personal touch Sandra offered, and we’re thrilled that Bogdan’s flexibility and local insights enriched your time with us. Your wholehearted recommendation means so much to us, and we can’t wait to have the pleasure of welcoming you again! Best regards, Miro & Sons Team

A Memorable & Captivating Experience
Our boat trip to Perast, Our Lady of the Rocks, and Old Town Kotor was an unforgettable experience! The journey offered stunning views of the Bay of Kotor, surrounded by majestic mountains and crystal-clear waters. Perast was charming, with its picturesque waterfront and historic architecture. Visiting Our Lady of the Rocks, a unique man-made island, was a highlight; the small church and museum were fascinating, and the panoramic views were breathtaking. Finally, exploring Old Town Kotor was like stepping back in time. The medieval streets, vibrant squares, and historic landmarks were captivating, and the local guides provided excellent insights into the region's history. The tour was well-organised, the crew was friendly and knowledgeable, and the experience was both relaxing and enriching. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Dear Traveler, Thank you for your kind words. We are happy you loved touring with us in Montenegro. Your impressions mean the world to us. Warm regards, The Miro & Sons Team

Perfect way to explore Kotor!
My family spent a delightful half day with Djuca and Rajan as they took us to some of Kotor Bay’s highlights. Rajan was an excellent host who provided insightful context for the history and geology around the Bay. Djuca was a great captain - they picked us up from the dock of our hotel in a beautiful new boat. Within a few minutes they opened a bottle of bubbly and let us choose the boat tunes for our tour. We had a great time with them both - the upgrade to this private tour was 100% worth it!
Response from the operator: Dear, Thank you for the lovely feedback and your trust in exploring Montenegro together! IT has truly been our pleasure to host you in our lovely country. Kind regards, Miro & Sons Team

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Guided Perast and Kotor Speedboat Tour - Rick Steves Recommended: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kotor.
How much does Guided Perast and Kotor Speedboat Tour - Rick Steves Recommended cost?
+
Prices start at $604 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 Guided Perast and Kotor Speedboat Tour - Rick Steves Recommended take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Guided Perast and Kotor Speedboat Tour - Rick Steves Recommended worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 26 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 Guided Perast and Kotor Speedboat 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 Guided Perast and Kotor Speedboat Tour - Rick Steves Recommended suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guided Perast and Kotor Speedboat Tour - Rick Steves Recommended?
+
Around 9 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guided Perast and Kotor Speedboat 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.
