Mirko is awesome!

Great tour, terrible traffic.
I will start by saying the tour and our guide Sasha were fantastic. However, I would think very hard about booking this tour if you are arriving by cruise unless you have at least a 12 hour port call. We arrived in Kotor at 7am and were able to meet up with Sasha at 9am in spite of a very slow tendering process by NCL. We even had to sneak on to an earlier tender than our group number allowed. We bypassed the photo op in Stevi Stefan in order to ensure enough time to see Old Town Kotor. We then spent 25 minutes trying to find a parking place in Budva and therefore had to rush that visit as well. After that, we spent 45 minutes in traffic getting back to Kotor. This was on a Tuesday in mid September. We were concerned with the tendering process and skipped visiting Old Town Kotor altogether. We arrived back on board at 4:40 for a 5:00 pm sailing. None of this was the fault of the tour guide, but I just want you to go into this with open eyes. The tour itself was fantastic. If you have enough time you should book with Mirko without any hesitation.

25 Serpentine views unmissable
A good tour round...being honest, Montenegro doesn't have that much interesting history so Budvar old town and Cetinje were OK but not great. Lunch in Ngusi was good, seeing the smoke/drying room for the ham and thr view at the top of the 25 Serpentine Road was absolutely stunning...and having someone else drive the road was definitely a plus Peter was a good guide, giving us a lot of info on Montenegro

Bar Montenegro.
Very accommodating and great experience. The family farm was a great stop. Best meats and cheeses. But most importantly the beauty of the countryside was spectacular, amazing, awesome and we have unforgettable experience. Thank you

Excellent guide, unforgettable Montenegro experience!
We had a wonderful trip in Montenegro, and Mirko was a big reason why! He is an excellent guide-very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Montenegro. He explained the country's history, culture, and traditions so clearly, and at every place we visited, he shared interesting and valuable information. Thanks to Mirko, we didn't just see Montenegro-we truly understood and experienced it. He made our trip memorable and enjoyable from beginning to end. We highly recommend Mirko to anyone visiting Montenegro. Thank you for an unforgettable experience! 🇲🇪

The Great Montenegro Tour from Kotor - Private tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kotor.
How much does The Great Montenegro Tour from Kotor - Private tour cost?
+
Prices start at $229 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 The Great Montenegro Tour from Kotor - Private tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 The Great Montenegro Tour from Kotor - Private tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 100 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 The Great Montenegro Tour from Kotor - Private tour?
+
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 The Great Montenegro Tour from Kotor - Private tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Great Montenegro Tour from Kotor - Private tour?
+
Around 35 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Great Montenegro Tour from Kotor - Private tour 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, Great Montenegro Tour-Lovcen NP,Mausoleum Lovcen,River of Crnojevic,Sveti Stefan, 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.
