You’ll take Kotor’s cable car to 1300 meters, learn to use a Cube e-bike, then ride with a guide through mountain roads to Majstori and Fortress Gorazda. Guides such as Armando, Rodrigo, Molly, and Jeffrey have led the route. Expect striking views, off-road riding, and a small group capped at six.

“It should be mentioned these are top of the food chain bikes that you would not normally expect to find on a tour like this; pedaling uphill is like defying gravity and the quality of the suspension meant that the worse the road was, the more fun we had.

6.Express Cable Car ascent & 25Turns Epic Bike Descent.

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 9 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $143

From Kotor, you’ll ride a cable car 1,300 meters up to Lovcen National Park, get fitted with a Giant or Cube bike, then coast back down a quiet mountain road through 25 turns. Guide Rafi has been praised for careful traffic checks and steady support. The ride takes about 90 to 120 minutes.

“The instructions about meeting up were not clear so we never managed to go on the tour. The cable car base is 4km from the cruise port so not walkable as suggested in the instructions and it was difficult to get a taxi (one quoted us €40 each way!). When we finally spoke to the company they admitted there had been a mixup and were keen to help (and offered to pay for the taxi) but there was not enough time to be comfortably back for our ship leaving time. We were very disappointed but have to say we received a no quibble full refund so all was not lost.”
