Good Tour
Good Tour, but make sure you get a Paper Ticket when paying the Island entrance in advance. And be on time, otherwise they could drive without you!

Very disappointing
It is essential that the captain of the speedboat allows enough time to visit the church & museum as it is very busy if cruise ship is in port. The 5 euros per person fee is not transparent & not included in the trip price. Immediately upon disembarking the boat you are hijacked by a very assertive local demanding you have to pay the entry fee. Because our boat stop was limited and the church was already full of tourists we were only able to stay in the church for 5-10 mins & missed the museum. The boat captain advised it was Viator who should have made you aware that the entry fee was not included in the visit to the church, isalnd fee.

Beware!
We arrived in Kotor by cruise liner, but as the ship did not berth at the quay, we had to take a tender boat to shore. Our tour was scheduled for 9:00am, and we managed to get to shore just a few minutes before the scheduled departure time. We were there ON TIME. Unfortunately, finding the tour operator proved quite difficult. Although our operator was VIP Tours, there were no signs clearly indicating the name. There were several different tour operators offering various excursions, so we had to approach them one by one to find out whether they were VIP Tours. By the time we were finally directed to their stand, it was 9:03am. The lady at the stand simply told us that the 9:00am tour had already left and that nothing could be done. We were only three minutes late, which was particularly disappointing. There was no flexibility or grace time as with all tours I have taken, whatsoever. I asked whether we could join the next tour, or perhaps the one after that, but the only option offered was a 12:00pm departure, with an additional €50 charge for the three of us. In the confusion and disruption to our plans, I unfortunately paid the extra amount to secure our places. Even then, the so-called 12:00pm tour did not actually leave until 12:06pm. The tour itself takes you around Our Lady of the Rocks and then to Perast, where you have some 40 minutes of free time. I would personally recommend spending the time exploring Kotor instead. Overall, the lack of clear signage, the inflexibility, and the unexpected additional €50 charge made this a disappointing experience.
Response from the operator: We are always trying to provide best services to our customers. Even they are stating delay of only fee minutes we waited until 09:15 before Tour departed. We offered other option available and they accepted it. Tour was as stated and provided accordingly.

Amazing boat tour
We booked a last minute tour with VIP and Yelena was the sweetest at explaining which tour would be best. She was also very accommodating and kind. The tour was BEAUTIFUL. €40 per person for 3 hour tour. The guides were very nice. We went as a group of 5 and had a boat to ourselves.

Perast and Our Lady of the Rock Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kotor.
How much does Perast and Our Lady of the Rock Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $29 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 Perast and Our Lady of the Rock Tour take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Perast and Our Lady of the Rock Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 28 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 Perast and Our Lady of the Rock 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 Perast and Our Lady of the Rock Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Perast and Our Lady of the Rock Tour?
+
Around 10 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Perast and Our Lady of the Rock 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 Kotor Bay Escape: Blue Cave, Beach & Swimming Time, Exclusive Blue Cave Kotor Swim, Mamula&Lady of the Rock 3 Hour, Blue cave, Mamula island, Submarine tunnels and Our lady of the Rocks (3h). 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.
What is included in Perast and Our Lady of the Rock Tour?
+
Included: On-board WiFi; Bottled water; Fuel; Guest pickup in Kotor Bay via speedboat – available on request; and Insurance. Not included: Hotel pick up via car can be arranged on request; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Perast and Our Lady of the Rock Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 4 listed pickup locations in and around Kotor.
What languages is Perast and Our Lady of the Rock Tour offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Perast and Our Lady of the Rock Tour?
+
