1.Montenegro Boat Tour from Perast to Kotor

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 4,084 reviews · 11 - 12 hours · from $68Our pick

Review of the Dubrovnik to Montenegro day trip, with boat views, Kotor, Perast, border tips, costs, timing, and honest advice.

“Great day trip. Everything ran smoothly from pick up to drop off. Had a slight hiccup with selfish people not turning up on time but apart from a lot of waiting around for them and then the border holdup because of the delay they caused, there didn’t seem to be any negative impact on the time we had in each place. It was nice to have a local guide show us around the lovely Kotor, the boat trip was great and overall it was a fabulous experience! I would thoroughly recommend.”

Review of the $62 Dubrovnik to Montenegro day trip, with Perast, Our Lady of the Rocks, Kotor, a boat cruise, and border advice.

“Our trip to Montenegro was amazing! Kotor is such a beautiful town — three hours just aren’t enough to see everything. Our guide, Josh (I hope I got the name right), was excellent — both as a guide and a driver. The border crossing was quick, pickup was on time, and we made it back right on schedule. Overall, it was a wonderful and memorable trip!”

“Fantastic day with a perfect mix of guidance (not too much and “lagom,” as we say in Sweden), combined with a relaxing atmosphere and a neat, professional guide. Some music, drinks, fruit, and guidance, together with sunbathing, friendly fellow tourists, and beautiful views and stops, made the trip complete and perfect! A big thank you to the guide who helped me create a nice surprise with a birthday song for my daughter’s 20th birthday❤️.”

7.Montenegro Day Trip with Cruise in Kotor Bay

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 616 reviews · 11 hours · from $68

Review of Dubrovnik’s Montenegro day trip to Perast and Kotor, with border tips, bay cruise details, costs, timing, and honest advice.

“The trip was very well organized. The driver was excellent on the roads. The guide was very well informed and kept our fairly large group corralled so that everyone was at the meeting places on time. Kotor was fabulous. So glad we went. An 11 hour tour sounds daunting, but the day just flew by. One issue that I’ve seen other reviewers mention is that it can be hard to hear the guide on both the bus and the boat. The vox machines would be helpful.”
