★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,212 reviews · 11 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $72Our pick

Travel from Dubrovnik into Montenegro by air-conditioned vehicle, stopping in Perast and Kotor, with Budva added on the small-group option. Expect grand Bay of Kotor views, free time rather than fully guided sightseeing, an optional €10 boat ride, and a long day shaped by border delays.

“Had a wonderful experience on this tour, amazing views and our tour guide (Adnan) was great with providing explanations and recommendations for all of us It would be helpful to have a mic for the guide - as we have had on other tours - to be able to clearly hear the guide while in the last row in the van, so he doesn’t have to repeat himself”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,321 reviews · 8h 30m · from $31Best value

“A wonderful day out, meeting point was really easy to locate and as per map point. Booked 10am trip. Coach journey was a delayed due to latecomers (frustrating for everyone waiting) and also traffic. Tour guide collected cash for Krka tickets whilst en route on the bus and distributed tickets before entrance, 1hr45mins free at the park and VERY clear instructions of the meeting point plus recommendations of park walking routes to best utilise the time following the yellow line/wooden bridge route. 2 hours in Skradin was more than enough for a small but beautiful place. Beach at Skradin is a pebble beach but very pleasant and super clear waters.…”

“This speed boat trip was the highlight of my entire holiday. Saw loads in just one day! The boat ride itself is an experience. Skipper and crew Ivana were nice and easy going, coming up with a fun musical playlist on our journey. Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about whether to spend 100 EUR (it's definitely not cheap but worth every penny). Boat was also fancier than in the picture (luckily it wasn't a 10 seater). If there is room for improvement, I would come up with a rough timetable for the day, just to approx. know when you will be able to get lunch for example, as there…”

Because we love photography, he recommended a different city in Bosnia, which allowed for less time riding in the car and more time enjoying the beautiful countryside. He was friendly, adaptable, attentive, and communicated well and often with us via WhatsApp. He gave us plenty of time to wander and enjoy ourselves. A wonderful experience.”
