You will visit Our Lady of the Rocks, swim in clear Adriatic water, enjoy fruit and champagne, and hear local stories from an English-speaking guide such as Luka, Milos, or Nina.

“There was a slow start to the day - of the three pick ups, one collected the guests 45 minutes late so two thirds of the guests for this cruise and another tour were kept waiting in a hot, cramped street in Kotor without refreshments for the same period. Our own guide wasn’t even on the bus when it collected us. We had to stop near his house to collect him! However, once underway, our guide was energetic, engaging and knowledgeable. The cruise took in several sites of this massive set of bays, including the famous blue cave, a church on an island and a submarine tunnel. Truly, something for…”

“We loved our day trip from Cavtat to Montenegro! Our guide was very informative & her English was easy to understand. The history of Montenegro from the world wars to present day - language, politics, social issues etc. provided whilst on the drive around the Montenegro coast was excellent. The boat ride & walking tours around Kotor and Perast were fabulous - we loved both places & really appreciated the free time given to us. Our only suggestion for the future would be for the time spent at each place to be split more equally - although Perast is only small, we found 45 minutes wasn’t enough time for us…”
