couldn't find the driver,...
couldn't find the driver, very poor instructions where to meet. After an hour finally met our driver who was supposed to be holding a sign and never had one. Cancelled our tour.
Response from the operator: Dear Pamela, We are very sorry that this situation occurred, but we would also like to clarify a few important details regarding your reservation. The tour you booked normally starts in Kotor. However, your booking was made for pickup in Bar, which is approximately 60 km from Kotor. Although Bar is outside our usual departure area for this tour, we wanted to accommodate your request and therefore specifically arranged both a vehicle and a licensed guide to travel from Kotor to Bar for your pickup. Our guide was at the Port of Bar at the agreed time waiting for you. Unfortunately, there was a misunderstanding regarding the exact meeting point and you were unable to locate each other immediately, despite being in telephone contact. You eventually met after approximately 40 minutes, not after one hour as stated in the review. We acknowledge that the meeting instructions and identification could have been clearer, and we sincerely apologize for this. However, once you and our guide finally met, the vehicle and guide were ready to proceed with the tour. At that point, you decided not to continue with the excursion. Despite the fact that we had already incurred the additional costs of sending both the vehicle and guide from Kotor to Bar specifically for your booking, we chose not to charge you for any of these costs. As a gesture of goodwill and because customer satisfaction is extremely important to us, we accepted all expenses ourselves and issued you a 100% refund. We are genuinely sorry that you did not experience the tour we had prepared for you. We have also taken your comments regarding meeting-point instructions seriously and will use this experience to make our pickup procedures even clearer in the future. We wish you all the best and hope you otherwise enjoyed your stay in Montenegro. Kind regards, Montis Tours

Great guide, lousy accommodating
Our guide Sanja was great! Very knowledgeable and passionate about her country. However, we booked a guided tour for 5 people but we had to split into 2 cars and the 2nd car was not a guide only a drive. So 2 if our group did not get the knowledge the rest of us got. And the 2nd car did not have a/c. I don't find this acceptable
Response from the operator: Dear Lori, Thank you on your review. We don't think so that we deserve it. We provided you 2 climatised cars with 2 driver. One of them is tourguide and the second is English speaking driver. For transfers you were separated in 2 cars, but on the Kotor and Budva walking tours you were all together. Also, on your demand, you have got extra 1 Hour lunch time in Budva and it wasn't charged. You should tip your driver and tourguide instead. During the years we had few similar situations and noone ever complained. As you said, Sanja did a great tourguide job which is the most important. You visited and explored everything what this tour includes. Thank You once again for being our guests. We hope so that you will visit Montenegro again. You are welcome!

Exactly what we wanted
Exactly what we wanted. Picked up at the port entrance by Luka and taken in his car to see Sveti Stefan then back to Budva for a walking tour, which was excellent. Small detour on the way back for a splendid panoramic view of Kotor, then an informative walking tour of Kotor. Yes, Kotor itself is easy to do on your own, only a short distance from the port via a pedestrian underpass, but unless you have a local guide like Luka you'd miss so much. Very enjoyable.

Kotor and Budva tour
Our guide picked us up right at the port. We walked around old town Kotor and then drove to Budva. There we toured the old town as well. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of historical information.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sveti Stefan, Budva and Kotor: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kotor.
How much does Sveti Stefan, Budva and Kotor cost?
+
Prices start at $178 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 Sveti Stefan, Budva and Kotor 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 Sveti Stefan, Budva and Kotor worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 7 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 Sveti Stefan, Budva and Kotor?
+
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 Sveti Stefan, Budva and Kotor 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 Sveti Stefan, Budva and Kotor?
+
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 Sveti Stefan, Budva and Kotor 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.
