A nice tour of kotor bay.
Very nice tour that included most important places in the kotor bay. The guide /driver was very cordial. He explained well, gave enough time to walk around. All was great.

Kotor by Air Conditioned van
I think this trip was a decent value. I would highly recommend going as early as possible because it was extremely hot. Kotor is very touristy with pretty much only shops selling souvenirs- so it was very nice to get out of the town for a while to see the views and Perest. The tour was as described. They were professional and well organized at the meet up. The driver did a great job negotiating the typically narrow and winding roads. He could’ve been a little more engaging with history, etc., but I found if you asked questions he would talk more. The small group size was also very appealing. We were six in all. I particularly found the flora interesting with pomegranate trees, olive trees filled with fruits, kumquat trees, bay laurel, southern magnolias, and crepe Myrtle.

Perfect Day in Kotor Bay
This tour was a perfect excursion from our cruise ship. Group size is very small (7). The owner of the company, Andro, met us as we got off the ship. He explained our day and then introduced us to our driver, Milosh. We had a wonderful day, touring the bay with time for exploring and taking pictures. Milosh shared his knowledge of the area. Great excursion. Highly recommend.

Beautiful place
The instructions for this trip were spot on concerning time and meeting place.The guides were local people and gave us a very good commentary of the history of Kotor and the way of life there as well.There is really only 1 road that takes you all around and was very scenic.We also got on a ferry for a short journey to other side of bay then a nice run back to ship through beautiful countryside.Kotor was a beautiful place to walk around and trip was icing on cake
via Tripadvisor
More beautiful vistas and a deeper understanding of the history and culture than we thought possible.
I was honestly unsure about doing a driving tour when I booked this but Andro planned our trip so that we got to see so much more than would have been possible any other way. We learned so much about the history, languages and culture with lots of laughs the whole while. When we shared photos with our cruise companions they were stunned at the vistas. We have been on many tours and heartily recommend this one!

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Kotor: Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kotor.
How much does Kotor: Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers cost?
+
Prices start at $95 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 Kotor: Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers 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 Kotor: Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 156 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 Kotor: Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers?
+
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 Kotor: Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers 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 Kotor: Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers?
+
Around 55 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 Kotor: Shore Excursion for Cruise Passengers 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.
