With a population of a larger European city suburb (650.000), Montenegro is an enchanting little country full of extreme geographical diversities.
Great mountains with snow peaks, steep fiord-like hills plummeting almost vertically into the Adriatic Sea, mountain lakes full of fish, mystical monasteries carved in the solid rock, sand, and sunny beaches that go on for miles alongside the coast. That is all Montenegro.
It’s easy to reach Montenegro from Dubrovnik.

We start our tour from Dubrovnik driving south alongside the Adriatic coast passing the town of Cavtat and Konavle region and soon crossing the border to Montenegro (do not forget your passports). We drive alongside the Kotor bay (Europe’s most southern fiord) passing the towns of Igalo, Herceg Novi (two great Turkish, later Venetian fortresses), Bijela, Kamenari, pausing for a photo-stop in front of magical Perast – city of seamen and 2 small islands with churches (St. George and Our Lady of the Rocks/Gospa od Škrpjela). We continue through Risan, stoping at Perast while the guide points out major buildings and explains its rich history, finally reaching the city of Kotor, nested at the very bottom of Kotor bay and surrounded by formidable verticals of neighboring mountains.

We stop in Kotor where you will have time to explore the city (Venetian Palaces, Orthodox Church, St. Triphon- Kotor’s protector Catholic church, massive city walls, St. John fortress – 263 meters vertical from Kotor (optional) by yourself.

Following Kotor, we drive to Trojica Mountain Pass to a panorama photo stop overlooking Kotor and the inner part of Kotor Bay from above.

Descending from Trojica and passing alongside Tivat international airport we stop in the town of Tivat at Porto Montenegro -a luxury mega yacht marina with hotels, shops, restaurants, and cafe bars where our guests usually have lunch (if guests want, they can stay more time in Kotor and have lunch there).

Departing Tivat we will cross Kotor Bay by short 15 min ferry ride and continue to one of the 2 borders with Croatia (the driver always tries to choose the one with the least traffic). After having passed the border we have about 40 minutes to your hotel in Dubrovnik.

NOTE: Upon prior request by our guests we can also visit other towns in Montenegro such as Budva, but ciesed going to Budva in summer months due to extreme traffic jams and waiting in traffic around Budva town.

We took both the Montenegro Day Trip from Dubrovnik, and the Peljesac Wine Tour. Miho was our guide for both trips, and both trips were excellent. For Montenegro, Recommend taking the extra stop to Our Lady of the Rocks, and definitely walk the city wall from Kotor Old Town...

It is steep in parts but absolutely worth the views. On our wine tour we visited the Trsteno botanical garden, and got a little lost trying to find the harbor for our pick up. Would recommend confirming directions first or returning to the entrance for pick up. Our favorite stop on this tour was Vina Anticevic, where we were lucky enough to have the wine maker share the wines and their stories.

to have more time at each stop, but getting to see so much in one day was great. We also mentioned how we hadn't gotten to go up to the top of Mount Srd, overlooking Dubrovnik. On our way home, Josip took us out of his way to get us up there for one last stop at the end of our trip! If you only have a short time to see the area, this is the perfect trip to see some of Montenegro.
Highly recommend this day trip!

Amazing day trip to Montenegro with a return to Dubrovnik via Bosnia. Filip was a fantastic guide and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see some unique views. I did the Montenegro & Bosnia tour with Filip in September 2023 and it was an amazing day. Absolutely amazing sights, wonderful stops for coffee and for lunch. Filip is extremely knowledgeable and if you have the chance to book with him, please do! You won’t regret it!

to Montenegro and would definitely recommend it if you have the time. The one thing that I'd recommend is to check to see is if there is a cruise ship docking in Kotor the day you're planning on going and if possible, try to get there as early as possible before the ship arrives. It can get very crowded in town when a cruise ship is there.

I recommend this day trip. You really get to experience the beautiful Bay of Kotor. Fillip was our guide. He took us to some idyllic spots and we never had to deal with crowds. I loved the boat trip at Perast. Plenty of time to see all of Kotor City. We got to experience the Black Mountains and the Bay of Kotor from some spectacular viewpoints. The border crossing was easy thanks to Fillip’ s relationship with the officials. Great day.

An excellent and carefully-planned tour. Mato was highly informative and was very conscious of avoiding long border-crossing queues wherever possible by taking lesser-used, if longer, routes on occasions. in order to successfully avoid them.

I would strongly suggest taking a car-based tour like this one rather than a bus-based tour, as the amount of time wasted on an already-long tour by having to process 40 passports at the border is huge. So I can highly recommend this tour and Mato as an excellent, considerate and very knowledgable tour guide and driver. Thank Mato.

My partner and I booked a Private Day tour to Montengro departing from Dubrovnik - Our driver/guide - Mladen was wonderful - he was on time, nice confirmatable car and he was very freindly and knowledgable on both Croatia and Montenegro - we picked up many facts that we did not know before about the region and learned some history too. The tour was great, and flexible based on what we wanted to do - if we wanted more time in one place and less in another that wasn't an issue at all, Mladen was very accommodating. The towns of Perast and Kotor were just stunning and we made a stop in a little town called Herceg Novi and had free time to enjoy a coffee

in the old town square in addition Mladen knew all the good spots to stop for a beautiful photo along the way. Overll it was a beautiful and relaxing day seeing the sights along the coast of Montenegro. Doria tours was wonderful to deal with, quick response times and they provided detailed information about the tour as well as maps and photos for the meeting point in Dubrovnik. I would not hestitate to use their services again.

I can't even describe how beautiful the whole day was. The pictures, especially from a viewpoint above Kotor were postcard perfect! My teenager loved all the cats in Kotor. I couldn't have asked for a better day! Filip is a great guide and recommended great places to eat and visit. I highly recommend using Dubrovnik Day tours and booking a private tour because you could go at your own pace. Affordable and the perfect experience!

We had limited time to visit Croatia and Montenegro. Therefore, we decided to book a private tour to Montenegro from Dubrovnik. I found the Dubronik day tour via TripAdvisor and am glad that I did. We have such a great trip and learned a lot about history and culture of the region. Our guide/driver is Filip who picked us up at our hotel. His car is very clean and comfortable. It was a rainy day, Filip brought extra umbrellas for 3 of us. He also stopped many scenic points for photo ops. He is very passionate about his job and his country and knowledgeable about the region's history. We had a great conversation during our trip. Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to visit the secret local farm for lunch... maybe next time! We visited Perast, Kotor and Budva. - tips: Wear comfy shoes if you want to climb Kotor wall for the birdeye view of Kotor and bay. Bring Euro. Montenegro only takes Euro and

local currency. They do take credit card. To climb Kotor wall, you do have to pay entrance fee about 8 Euro (cash only). Crossing the border may take a long time if you are taking tour bus. With private tour or car, the line is much shorter. It took us less than 10-15 min to get through border. I would definitely recommend this tour... it is worth every penny!

Montenegro is a gorgeous country and it was made even more special because of the tour that I took with Filip. Punctual, friendly, humorous and knowledgeable are some of the adjectives that I’d use to describe him. During our day together, I went to Perast and saw Our Lady of the Rocks (where the found the image of the Virgin Mary in 1452) and St. George island. I also had the famous perast torta at a stunning water facing restaurant. We went to Kotor and I hiked up to Our Lady of Remedy Church, which was another location with a gorgeous view. After this,

I Filip drove to a truly one of a kind viewpoint above Kotor. We ended the day by having a late lunch at a pristine and antiqued (in the best way possible) restaurant and then drove to a winery overlooking the Bay of Kotor.

I’ll definitely be back to Montenegro and Croatia and will use this tour company to make my travels more memorable.

We had an amazing time with Filip driving along the gorgeous Bay of Kotor and taking plenty of postcard-worthy photos. The highlights of our trip were exploring the charming little town of Perast and climbing the historic walls of Kotor. Filip was very knowledgeable and shared interesting nuggets about every stop along the way, even introducing a market stall where we could find the famed Njeguski prosciutto. We would highly recommend engaging Filip for anyone taking a tour not just around Dubrovnik but in the surrounding regions.

We decided to book two trips with this company after reading the excellents reviews here on Tripadvisor.... and we were not disappointed. Our first trip was to Montenegro and the wonderful Bay of Kotor. Although the weather was not ideal, our guide, Zeljko, made sure we had a very special day. He was courteous, knowledgeable and a safe driver. He stopped at places to give us special views of the Bay of Kotor and of Budva which would have been impossible with a large tour bus. He gave us different options too, letting us decide what we would rather see. We felt we had made a new friend by the time we arrived back in Dubrovnik in the late afternoon. Our second trip was to Mostar and the Kravica Waterfalls
Read more
with Baldo. Baldo is another great guide, with a wry sense of humour, which made the day that much more enjoyable. He too, gave us many suggestions regarding interesting places to visit and let us decide the itinerary for the day. After visiting the fascinating small town of Ston, we had 45 minutes to enjoy the waterfalls before arriving at Mostar where we had a great meal at a restaurant recommended by Baldo. He parked very close to the old bridge in a car park which would be inaccessible to a large bus. The long journey back from Mostar was made that much shorter by Baldo's reminiscing about 80s music, both Croatian and international, which gave us another insight into the culture of his country. It was definitely money well spent opting for these two private tours, rather than travelling with a bus-load of tourists...we saw them waiting at the borders going through the labourious process of presenting their passports as we sped through relatively quickly. The attentive guides made sure that these two days were the highlight of our stay in Dubrovnik. You have a very professional team, Josip, and we'll be sure to be in contact the next time we visit Croatia.

We never felt rushed at any of our stops and had a thoroughly enjoyable day. The bonus was that with Filip as our guide, we had a professional photographer with us. He has a great eye for where to stop to take beautiful shots. When he took our photo for us he made sure that the backgrounds were exceptionally beautiful. Other bonuses were a fantastic restaurant suggestion for Dubrovnik and great music for the drive back.
Great tour with a wonderful tour guide, Miho.

We had a wonderful day with Miho. This day trip was organized through Unforgettable Croatia Cruises and it is well worth it. Great experience with sites, history, scenery, and wine tasting. Miho, in particular, was not only knowledgeable, but he was very friendly, honest, and easy to be with for an entire day. Strongly recommend this tour and ask for Miho.

Yesterday my family and I did a private tour with Filip and it was perhaps one of the best tour experiences we’ve ever had. Filip was personable, charismatic and accommodating throughout the entire day. His passion for Croatia shone through as he taught us so much about the history, culture and even

fun facts about both Croatia and Montenegro. Perast and Kotor were both breaktaking in their respective ways, and the highlights were the boat tour around the two islands (Lady of the Rock) and the picturesque view of the bay and city of Kotor. Filip capped off a wonderful tour with “a hidden gem” for a late lunch/early dinner. Whenever you are in Dubrovnik, I highly recommend doing a day tour in Montenegro and doing so with Filip. Thank you so much Filip!
Intimate, local and knowledgeable day trip!

of knowledge about the areas we were visiting and their history. We customized the trip a bit and fit a lot into one day. We started at 6am and were dropped off back in Dubrovnik a little before 8pm. It was a great day. We saw so much, including a visit to the mausoleum, a 90 minute boat ride on Lake Skadar, a stop in Kotor and a short trip out to Our Lady of the Rocks. We have friends that will be visiting Dubrovnik next year and we are definitely recommending Dubrovnik Day Tours. Thanks again Ivo!!!!
Amazing tour!

Excellent Private Tour – Miho is the Legend

Our guide was Miho and he has great English skills and is very knowledgeable about the history of the area. I now understand why Miho is a legend, and rightfully so. He showed us details that many guides would miss. He also gave us some light political perspectives of the area. He took us to a local restaurant on the water that was amazing in both the food, and view of the coastline. Overall we avoided masses of cruise ship tourists, except Kotor, which is a major stop for multiple cruise

ships. Kotor may be a good place to stop in to say you were there, however it's all tourist and expensive. If you have been to Dubrovnik, you should still see Kotor, but don't waste too much time there. This was an excellent experience. When we come again, we'll probably hire Miho for the day and ask him to show us cool things!
Filip worries his rear end off for us today.

He also made multiple stops specifically to make sure we got all the best photos AND took photos of us. We had a seaside snack in Perast gazing at turquoise waters, we climbed the fortress walls of Kotor for a spectacular view of the Old Town. and we had one of the best meals EVER at a family restaurant on their 300+ year-old property, which included an old mill and natural spring. I HIGHLY recommend this tour, top-notch quality -- A+. 10/10. Thank you Filip for an incredible day that will be a cherished memory forever!

We just returned from our tour of Montenegro with Filip and it was absolutely wonderful! Filip was a fantastic guide providing so much helpful information, anecdotes, and to top it off — has great taste in music!! The tour was perfectly paced with stops along the stunning Kotor Bay. By taking us through scenic Konavle (which looks quite like Tuscany) vs the standard crossing we not only breezed though the border in less than 3 minutes but saw some incredible scenery along the way. Perast and Kotor were completely stunning. If you plan on attempting the walls in Kotor bring some very sturdy shoes (the “steps” are super slippery). The Svetog Tripuna cathedral

in Kotor is worth the 3 euro admission as its expansive upstairs a hidden museum of ancient artifacts from 1000 years ago. Our only regret from the day is that Filip wasnt available to take us to Korcula later in the week. I would highly recommend this tour (and Filip) over any group trip as you can set your own pace and see things you couldn’t see on any larger tour. Thank you for a wonderful day!

Our group of 10 (family & friends) road comfortably in 2 vans on this private all day tour to Montenegro from Dubrovnik. We loved our drivers, who were very professional, funny, warm, and friendly.
Read more
The drivers were flexible with the schedule but kept us on track. We never felt rushed. The company had suggested we leave early from Dubrovnik to avoid border traffic and it was the best suggestion, as we didn't have to sit at border check long, which made our long drive quick and comfortable. We also did another full day tour with this company to the Split the following day & again, the drivers were fantastic! The vans were clean on both tours and the driver mentioned he got it washed in between the two days. All 10 people in the group raved about the two tours and our drivers: Ivo, Miho, and Baldo. The company also offered personal help to one of our traveling members when her flight home got canceled twice and she had to fly out of a different airport 3 hrs away. On a last minute's notice, driver and company manager Josip drove her to the airport. This is a company you can trust and will definitely feel like you're getting personal attention. Thank you for providing our group with memorable and wonderful two day tour experiences.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dubrovnik Day Tours. I traveled with family and friends (group of 10) to Dubrovnik for a week in April 2022 and we took 2 day tours with this organization: one to Montenegro, the other to Split. Josip was very organized in the days that he arranged for us. Both days,

we had two guides and two roomy cars to get us there comfortably. My guide both days was Miho who was kind, funny, and knowledgeable! Based on what our guides could tell we liked the first day, they adapted our second day's itinerary to our liking. Our guides always knew the best pit stops and view points to stop and take in our surroundings. Last but not least, when I ran into an issue on my way traveling home with two subsequent flights out of Dubrovnik cancelled and my third flight was booked out of Split, Josip was kind enough to drop everything that day and personally drive me to Split so I could safely start my journey home. So grateful for the people of this company who went above and beyond at every step.

We had a fantastic experience! Our driver and guide, Baldo, spoke perfect English. He gave us a lot of information, and he was just so kind and thoughtful and wanted to make sure we had a good time. Kotor in Montenegro is an incredible place and definitely worth a visit if you are in Dubrovnik. We took a gamble choosing a company based solely on reviews, but it really paid off. I can’t imagine a better day out!

I’m addition, he took us to a unique restaurant, a magical gem that he discovered. We LOVED it. Don’t take my word for it and go experience for yourself. You will thank me later. Thank you Filip❤️.

It is rare to find people born and raised in the old town of Dubrovnik and it is even more difficult to find people with the knowledge, passion and professionalism that Ivo and Stjepan bring to the table. I could have spent a week listening to the history of both Dubrovnik, Montenegro, Yugoslavia, etc and to all the anecdotes, facts and personal experiences. Truly outstanding. Thanks again for two fabulous days!

We crossed the border with no delays thanks to our drivers local knowledge, and visited Perast and then on to Kotor where we had a private guide take us on a walking tour. We had free time to explore then headed back across the border mid afternoon and went to a traditional Croatian restaurant in a beautiful setting and experienced Peka... the best meal we had in Croatia! The entire day was perfect, and worth every cent! Thoroughly recommend this tour company.

which saved a lot of time on our journey. We visited Our Lady of the Rocks (nice), Kotor (no time to climb hills in back, but rather a city tour by a local guide) and Budva (a real surprise with old walled city and fabulous mussel lunch - I had ‘varied mussels with Adriatic shrimp’ and loved it.). Ivo picked us up promptly at 7:30 and we got back at 18:30. All in all a trust worthy company that is easy to work with. We all felt we got our money’s worth on the Montenegro day trip.

Our guide was Ivor -- loquacious, very knowledgeable, charming. Picked us up on time in comfortable van, and was attentive and helpful throughout the day, which started at 7:30am and ended at ca 5pm. All excellent, as was email communication with the office to book the tour.

It is 2 and 1/2 hours to get to Perast (with a stop midway for coffee), a very interesting and beautiful place, but we only had about 30 mins there. Would have liked to stay longer. Then on to Kotor -- we had45 minutes with an excellent local guide (Kikka) and 45 minutes free time. Again, we would have liked to have stayed longer. We were then driven another 40 minutes or so to Budva, a not very attractive or interesting place (no sightseeing) to have lunch (which we paid for) at a nice seaside restaurant Then back in the van for the long drive back to D'nik. In retrospect: Budva was a total waste of time. Much better to have used those 2+ hours to enjoy more of Perast and Kotor, and to have lunch in the latter.

We definitely recommend making reservations at the island hotel of St Stefan. Amazing food, gorgeous views and deep history. Totally worth the trip and can be done in a day. If you can, ask for Ivo to be your driver. For a family with two young kids traveling in a new country, Ivo couldn’t have been more amazing. Not only was he an experienced and knowledgeable tour guide, he was easy going, super friendly and kind. Our whole family absolutely adored him. More importantly, Ivo was extremely attentive to our safety on the road. He always drove the speed limit, never engaged in risky passing and was always patient when traffic slowed. A much better driver than myself and my wife. You couldn’t be in better hands on the road. We’ll definitely be scheduling another tour with Dubrovnik Day Tours when we return.
