It was built in honor of Saint Tryphon (local name Sveti Tripun), the patron and protector of the city, on the same site where an older church had already existed long ago.

    Interesting

    We liked our day, but a little too fast, the road is long from Dubrovnik, there is little time left for the visit of the previous city. We booked a tour in French, but unfortunately we were told too late that it would not be possible. The English-speaking guide made a little effort to speak to us in French during the visit.

    Response from the operator: Thanks Curiosity546377 for your review I inform you that we do tours in English and Spanish not in French I ask you do you want that I hire local guide who speak French and you told me that he charge to much so I do best from my side. Sorry but I don't speak French

    Terrible service

    Tour was canceled due to rough seas but nobody ever notified us, We waited over an hour before we left our meeting point. We tried to the local provider 3 or 4 times but nobody ever answered the phone. I would avoid Smiley tours at all costs.

    Response from the operator: Thanks Richard_C for you review please tell me how you can organise boat tour if sea is rough if you fall from boat it would be my mistake not yours that is why we cancel tour for your safety and now you complain next time I will do tour and you will be all wet and scared and that you will write us review they endangered our lives by sending us on board when there were big waves

    Excellent Trip to Montenegro

    Ivo , our Tour Guide did an excellent job of informing, explaining and even showing us maps, books and written materials about the places we visited. He was very professional, courteous and very kind with his ways of getting us to see beautiful spots in Montenegro . We had so much fun . We highly recommend Ivo !!!

    Great experience in beautiful Monte Negro!

    Ivo was a wonderful tour guide for our small group trip to Monte Negro. He was very friendly and during the van ride to Perest, Kotor and Budva he gave us an extensive amount of information and passed around maps and books on the history on each place before we arrived. There was sufficient amount of time at each place to wander on your own. The black mountains make a beautiful backdrop scenery. We had a lovely breakfast of fresh oysters, coffee, and burrata salad in Perest (our first stop) From there we went to Kotor where we hiked the 1000+ steps to reach the top of St. John ruins. A must do if you want to see some beautiful views of the city and surrounding area. Afterwards, we went to Budva and explored the old town before having lunch consisting of oysters and salads with a bottle of local white wine. I would definitely recommend this trip and hopefully you will be lucky enough to have Ivo as your tour guide because he does an outstanding job!

    The city of Kotor is the best!

    I went to Kotor, Montenegro in late October this year. The weather was not good, but I was still impressed by the wonderful scenery. Located in the deepest part of the Adriatic Sea, Kotor is a fortified city surrounded by fjord-topped mountains, with its ancient cityscape preserved within its walls, making you feel like you’ve been transported back to the Middle Ages.

    Perast, Bay of Kotor, Kotor, Sea pearls of the Montenegro coast: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubrovnik.

    How much does Perast, Bay of Kotor, Kotor, Sea pearls of the Montenegro coast cost?

    +

    Prices start at $692 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 Perast, Bay of Kotor, Kotor, Sea pearls of the Montenegro coast take?

    +

    Plan for about 11 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 Perast, Bay of Kotor, Kotor, Sea pearls of the Montenegro coast worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 11 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 Perast, Bay of Kotor, Kotor, Sea pearls of the Montenegro coast?

    +

    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, Bay of Kotor, Kotor, Sea pearls of the Montenegro coast suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Perast, Bay of Kotor, Kotor, Sea pearls of the Montenegro coast?

    +

    Around 4 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Perast, Bay of Kotor, Kotor, Sea pearls of the Montenegro coast 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.
