Montenegro - Breath taking views and the guide is so nice. I would recommend 100. The journey to Montenegro was so short.

Beautiful, to do absolutely - Beautiful day accompanied by our guide Maria who is very professional and listening to all our requests and our super driver Pedro who has an excellent drive (usually I am sick but with him it was a real pleasure) I strongly advise to make this visit and also the one of Mostar/ Kravice with eu because it is the cheapest for the same services

Very nice excursion to Montenegro from Dubrovnik - It was a real pleasure to discover Montenegro and especially the city of Kotor from Dubrovnik. Our guide Maria and our driver were very professional. Maria shared with us a lot of interesting facts about Croatia, Montenegro and the history of the territories. It was really interesting. Once arrived in Perast, we had 40 min of free time before taking a small boat to see Notre Dame du Rocher. After that we took the boat back to Kotor The boat crossing is pleasant and allows to see the whole bay. Arriving in Kotor another very friendly guide explained several interesting facts about the city. A busy day Good management of timing and border formalities. We were lucky not to wait too long at the borders (30min round trip). Pick up close to the hotels is a real advantage because the excursion starts early. I recommend the excursion.

Such a great day trip - The trip was amazing. The guide was so knowledgeable and gave us so much information on Montenegro and its history. The guide even decided to inverse the itinerary to avoid the crowds allowing us to have each stops with barely any crowds. We highly recommend this trip!

A change of scenery, but undecided whether it was worth it. - A very scenic drive to Montenegro from Dubrovnik. I must warn people that a one hour delay at the border is quite nornal, although you don't normally need to leave the bus. It was a change of scenery, but as you visit old Kotor, it is very tourist oriented, so prices are inflated. Unfortunately, you normally wouldn't visit the newer part where the locals would usually shop - so prices , being non EU are cheaper. To be honest, I found that Dubrovnik had more to offer.

The guide for the bus was... - The guide for the bus was amazing and made the trip. She gave 110%. The local one in Kotor was really hard to understand and hear, somewhat a waste and left halfway through. Would suggest to drop off the main group in Old Town first, we were sitting on the bus waiting for individuals to get dropped off who were only 5/10 minutes from the main point.

Montenegro - Beautiful views!!! We Loved the boat ride. The instructions to meet the bus in Kotor were not great. The private tour guide in Kotor was wonderful!

Super hot day in Kotor - This was a nice tour. This time of year places do get crowded. Kotor Old Town and especially Lady of the Rock were so busy with travelers, considering the Lady of the Rock is such a tiny island. One suggestion would he to allow future travelers with strollers to let use the stroller while in Kotor and off the bus. It was a super hot day and we were told to leave the stroller on the bus. Kotor is flat and super walkable and I saw lots of people with strollers. We had our infant in a carrier who got overheated that day. The only issue would have been on the boat but even there I think we could have found a place to store the folded stroller, or just skip the island and stay with a driver.

The tour was fine... - The tour was fine overall, but several things made it less enjoyable than expected. Our guide was friendly enough and knowledgeable, but not especially engaging or memorable. Being on a big bus means a lot of waiting around for people, and with some running late, our time at certain stops kept getting cut short. The boat portion was also a disappointment. It was a small boat, packed tightly with people, making it uncomfortable and not the relaxing ride we were hoping for. We were told items could be left on the bus, but even an unopened water bottle I left in the seat pocket was thrown away. The schedule also created some hassles—after shopping in Kotor Old Town, we had to bring purchases onto the boat since there was no chance to drop them back on the bus. Another frustration was how information was handled. After a two-hour bus ride, the guide waited until we were standing in the hot sun to ask each person to take photos of her phone with recommendations. When someone asked a question, she snapped “can’t you read?!”—which came across as pretty rude. It would have been so much more helpful (and considerate) to do this while we were on the bus. Crowds in Kotor Old Town were overwhelming (not the company’s fault, but something to be mindful of). The itinerary also changed—our booking said Perast first, then boat, then Kotor—but we did the reverse. I can’t help but wonder if sticking to the original order might have avoided some of the timing and comfort issues. Overall, the sights themselves are worth seeing, but the logistics and experience of this tour left a lot to be desired.

Bait and switch - I booked a tour with a van up to 18 people. What I received is a tour with a bus and 47 people. Waited a couple hours at the border. Was over 12 hr tour vs 10. Unacceptable
