⭐️ Four Borders, Breathtaking Views & One Unforgettable Day!
I had a wonderful experience on the Montenegro & Bay of Kotor tour, and a big part of that was thanks to our excellent driver, Bojan, and tour guide, Andrea. Bojan was a fantastic driver—safe, calm, and professional. I especially appreciated his advice to sit on the right side of the bus for the best views. He was absolutely right! I also enjoyed his funny commentary while driving, which added a lot of fun to the journey. Andrea was an exceptional tour guide. She handled the four border crossings with aplomb, demonstrating impressive efficiency, professionalism, and patience. Her positive outlook throughout each crossing was reassuring, and she always gave us confidence that everything would work out. She was also very attentive to me personally, as I was wearing a knee brace. She regularly checked to make sure I was okay and encouraged me to let her know if there was anything she could do to make the experience easier for me. That kindness meant a lot. Andrea was extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of the areas we visited. One of my favorite stories was about the “Laziest Citizen” contest in Brezna, Montenegro, a satirical competition created to poke fun at the popular stereotype that Montenegrins are lazy. She explained how the first winner managed to stay in bed for only three days, while a later winner lasted an incredible 100 days, getting up only for 10–15 minutes every eight hours to use the bathroom and stretch! It was such a funny and memorable story, and exactly the kind of local insight that makes a tour special. Overall, this was a fantastic experience. Bojan and Andrea made the journey safe, enjoyable, informative, and memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Montenegro and the Bay of Kotor.

Lovely Montenegro day tour
We saw everything we wanted to see and experience in Montenegro. We enjoyed Kotor, the boat ride to the Lady of the Rocks island and Perast. The driver and guide took care of our border crossings. I highly recommend.

No working toilet on the coach unbelievably
This trip was booked at out hotel the Komodor in Lapad. It was advertised as "Montenegro by boat" but it should be advertised as by coach with a boat trip as 8 hours are spent on the coach. We were told the coach had a toilet that did not work. In fact the toilet was working but was not in use as they could not or would not empty the chemical toilet and did not have the facilities to!! Unbelievable when a man first walked on the moon in 1969 and this is 2026. 32 people had been on the coach before the first toilet stop which was a shambolic mess at a shop after the border following four hours on the coach. Everyone dashed to the toilet, all wanting to use it at the same time. On the way back the border toilets were absolutely disgusting and all because we could not use the coach toilet! How does this company operate yours with coaches with no toilet facilities? Surely it is not that difficult to arrange for a service to empty the toilet? So unless you can control your bladder for a minimum of four hours I would not recommend this company as Hannah the tour guide said this was this company's common practice. As most of the time is spent on the coach you do not get enough time at two of the three stops. And they have the cheek to leave a tip box out for tips when you eventually leave the coach. We paid 160 euros for two people, there were 30 people on the tour equals a total of 4800 euros and all that for a coach without a working toilet!!!!!

Great day trip to another country.
This is a nice trip to Montenegro. The tour guide was sweet & helpful. And the towns we saw were so picturesque. I only have 2 complaints. 20 minutes on the island of the rock isn’t enough time. It’s hard to use the bathroom & see inside the church, especially if there are crowds, in only 20 minutes. It really needs at least 30. The final suggestion is for the tour guide in Kotor to have a microphone. She was great & full of info but with all the people & the other tour guides talking I was unable to hear anything she said. That was frustrating because I’d love to have heard the history of the buildings. Other that those things I enjoyed the tour very much.

Highly recommend paying a little more for the smaller group experience.
Trip was well organised and informative, border crossings with smaller group were good.

Montenegro Kotor Bay with Boat Ride to The Lady of the Rock: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.
How much does Montenegro Kotor Bay with Boat Ride to The Lady of the Rock cost?
+
Prices start at $57 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubrovnik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Montenegro Kotor Bay with Boat Ride to The Lady of the Rock take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Dubrovnik is not rushed.
Is Montenegro Kotor Bay with Boat Ride to The Lady of the Rock worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 53 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubrovnik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Montenegro Kotor Bay with Boat Ride to The Lady of the Rock?
+
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 Montenegro Kotor Bay with Boat Ride to The Lady of the Rock suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Montenegro Kotor Bay with Boat Ride to The Lady of the Rock?
+
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 Dubrovnik 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 Dubrovnik and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Montenegro Kotor Bay with Boat Ride to The Lady of the Rock 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 Dubrovnik 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 Dubrovnik?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubrovnik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubrovnik: Game of Thrones Walking Tour, Dubrovnik: 7 Caves & Blue Cave Speedboat Tour (4h), Dubrovnik: Sunset Kayaking & Snorkeling with water &wine. 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 Dubrovnik?
+
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 Dubrovnik?
+
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.
What is included in Montenegro Kotor Bay with Boat Ride to The Lady of the Rock?

Not included: Entrance fees; Entrance fees; Food and drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Montenegro Kotor Bay with Boat Ride to The Lady of the Rock include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Montenegro Kotor Bay with Boat Ride to The Lady of the Rock offered in?
+
