Great tour
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. We were picked up and dropped off directly outside of our hotel, the tour was relaxed, enjoyable and very informative. The monastery was beautiful and we stopped at a wonderful view point for photos. The food and drink tastings were delicious, with very generous portions (we did not need dinner that night!). We then went on to a pretty and secluded waterfall spot which was behind a locked gate so very private and not available to everyone. Our guide, Petar, was really interesting and an enjoyable person to spend time with. He also kindly took some photos of us which was really nice of him. Overall, a great experience.
via Tripadvisor
Excellent trip, lots of variety & very chilled.
Amazing trip, beautiful monastery, very knowledgeable local guide, lovely restaurant in mountains & a short walk to a cold & beautiful waterfall to swim in - very refreshing. Thoroughly recommend this trip - nicest that we did.

Petar Golubivic Guided Trip to Krapina
This was such a joyful experience. Petar, our guide, was an absolute star; knowledgeable, humerous, enthusiastic, well spoken and with perfect manners, especially given the average age of group was 73, nothing was too much - we wished we had bookeda longer tour with Petar. We so enjoyed visiting the beautiful peaceful monastery just above the Town of Budva , transversing the Black Mountains above to visit Krapina, an oasis away from busy days, offering superb local produce food, wine & rakija, followed by a walk to the canyon waterfall, with a deep pool if you fancy a swim. We came away with the local honey as a reminder of a perfect, peaceful trip. I would absolute recommend Petar Golubivic as a guide when in Budva, his passion and pride in his beautiful country is omnipresent

Private Tour of Budva's Hidden Hills, Monastery and Waterfall: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Budva.
How much does Private Tour of Budva's Hidden Hills, Monastery and Waterfall cost?
+
Prices start at $131 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Budva usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Tour of Budva's Hidden Hills, Monastery and Waterfall take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Budva is not rushed.
Is Private Tour of Budva's Hidden Hills, Monastery and Waterfall worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Budva, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour of Budva's Hidden Hills, Monastery and Waterfall?
+
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 Tour of Budva's Hidden Hills, Monastery and Waterfall suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour of Budva's Hidden Hills, Monastery and Waterfall?
+
Around 1 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 Budva 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 Budva and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour of Budva's Hidden Hills, Monastery and Waterfall 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 Budva within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

+

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 Budva?
+
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 Budva?
+
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.
