Private Walking Tour
Tereza was just amazing she made us feel like she has known us for years. First timers to Prague and she made it so special. We met her at our hotel and then we took a tram to the part of town where we started the tour and from there the time went by so fast because there was so much of interest Lennon wall was very interesting, a private visit to her friend's art gallery which we very much enjoyed getting to meet the artist who makes Prague come alive with such beauty and vibrant colors. Tereza never rushed us or made us feel like she was in a hurry to get through the tour she was a complete pleasure to walk with and learn from, request her if you can it is well worth your time!!
Response from the operator: Dear Traveler, Thank you for sharing your experience! However, it seems this review may have been intended for a different tour company, as Miro & Sons operates in Kotor, Montenegro, and we do not organize tours in Prague. We hope you had a wonderful time in Prague, and we’d be delighted to welcome you to beautiful Kotor someday! Warm regards, Miro & Sons Team

Fantastic Kotor City Tour
Fantastic 1.5-hour city tour with Bruna. We've taken tours all over Europe, and she was one of the most knowledgeable guides we've had. She was patient and worked well with our 4 children (ages 10 to 20). Gave us a wonderful overview (something most guides miss) of Kotor and Montenegro and had answers to all of our questions. Thank you Bruna!
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed your city tour with Bruna. It means a lot to us to know that her knowledge, patience, and friendly approach made the experience enjoyable for your whole family. We’re especially happy that you appreciated the broader overview of Kotor and Montenegro and that Bruna was able to answer all your questions. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with her — they will mean a great deal! It was a pleasure having your family with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Montenegro again someday. Warm regards, Miro & Sons team

Private Kotor Walking Tour - Rick Steves Recommended: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kotor.
How much does Private Kotor Walking Tour - Rick Steves Recommended cost?
+
Prices start at $63 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 Private Kotor Walking Tour - Rick Steves Recommended 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 Private Kotor Walking Tour - Rick Steves Recommended worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 74 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 Private Kotor Walking 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 Private Kotor Walking Tour - Rick Steves Recommended 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 Private Kotor Walking Tour - Rick Steves Recommended?
+
Around 26 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 Private Kotor Walking 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 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.
