Informative and helpful - Duka made the tour experience interesting while being careful to keep us in the shade on a very hot sunny day. His knowledge and enthusiasm along with his likable personality made our tour very memorable.

Great history and culture tour. - We went with Juka on a walking tour around the old city including some history and culture and it was fantastic. It was clear how knowledgeable and passionate he was about Kotor and made our experience truly amazing. Everything we did and saw including the farmer’s market and final meal was excellent. Request Juka, you will have a great time!

The best guide in Kotor - Viator always provide excellent guides and Djuka was no exception - he must be the best guide in Kotor and maybe the best guide in all of Montenegro. Wonderful English and a good sense of humour One point to bear in mind if you are booking this as part of a cruise holiday; if you are told you'll be met at the sea gate it is NOT the main gate out of the terminal, it is a gate in the town wall, roughly 100 metres away (through an underpass to cross the busy road and then straight ahead - look for a cream opening in the old town wall. It's easy to find but the name is misleading

Montenegro is incredible!! Krysto was an amazing guide!! - Montenegro is a beautiful country. I obviously didn’t do my homework as I didn’t know what to expect. Our ship stopped in Bar rather than Kotor, but that allowed for a ride to Kotor with wonderful views…we couldn’t believe it! Walking through old town Kotor was a treat. Tasting olives and fruit was cool. We ate a delicious meal in Budva with an awesome view. We walked through old town Budva and had a great ride home. We loved our guide Krysto as he was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Montenegro!

Highly recommend Miro & Sons - Our private tour of Kotor and Budva with Miro & Sons was excellent. Our guide, Bogdan, was totally professional, informative, and friendly. He made the day fun and enjoyable. Kotor was stunningly beautiful. This private tour was very reasonably priced as well. The company was very flexible. When our cruise ship had to change their docking location from Kotor to Bar, which is much further away, I notified Miro & Sons and they worked with us to revise our itinerary. They were one of the only tour companies authorized to enter the port of Bar, making the pick up easy. When other cruise passengers were scrambling to find their tour guides, Bogdan was right there to pick us up as we got off the ship and whisked us away for a wonderful day of sightseeing in Montenegro in his beautiful Mercedes. Highly recommend Miro & Sons!
