    Delighted Brits Abroad...

    We took this day tour with Jet2 Partner Kompas. Excellent from Start to finish, fantastic service, stunning locations and a very experienced and knowledgeable Guide (Mihailo), whose English was exceptional and whose sense of humour (very English in its' nature) added much to our enjoyment of the excursion. So thank you and well done Mihailo, Kompas and Jet2. Highly recommended!

    Kotor is lovely and our tour guide...

    <p>Kotor is lovely and our tour guide was an ace! He made the tour. I give him a 4 or 5 out of 5. He was in his early 20s but is so passionate about his country and well educated about its history that it made a great experience overall. The only thing is that KOTOR is very small and the traffic is really bad. Our driver ended up being late but 40 minutes which he profusely apologized for as there was a accident on the 1 road in. We were caught in traffic on our way back from Our Lady of Rock so there was no time to see Perast and our time in the medieval village of Kotor was very rushed. The private tour for us group of 4 adults with 2-12 yr olds was great and the guarantee that Viator offers that you will make it back to your ship on time or they will get you to the next port made us feel comfortable. However, I wonder if a boat ride to Our Lady of the Rock is the way to go to bypass traffic issues. And then when you are back you can very easily walk into the sweet little town of Kotor and have a bite to eat as the food looked amazing with time to take in it's history and beauty.</p>

    Shore Excursions: Kotor, Budva and Perast: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Shore Excursions: Kotor, Budva and Perast cost?

    +

    Prices start at $570 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 Shore Excursions: Kotor, Budva and Perast take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Shore Excursions: Kotor, Budva and Perast worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 5 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 Shore Excursions: Kotor, Budva and Perast?

    +

    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 Shore Excursions: Kotor, Budva and Perast suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Shore Excursions: Kotor, Budva and Perast?

    +

    Around 2 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Shore Excursions: Kotor, Budva and Perast 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 Great Montenegro Tour-Lovcen NP,Mausoleum Lovcen,River of Crnojevic,Sveti Stefan, Kotor Bay Escape: Blue Cave, Beach & Swimming Time, Exclusive Blue Cave Kotor Swim, Mamula&Lady of the Rock 3 Hour. 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.
