The Experience
The tour picks you up from your Dubrovnik accommodation and heads south into Montenegro's Bay of Kotor. Porto Montenegro comes first—a luxury marina and resort complex set against the Adriatic where you'll see how the coast has been developed for superyachts and high-end travelers. From there the route moves to Budva, one of the region's oldest cities, where 15th-century ramparts still encircle the old town, their medieval gates and defense walls marking centuries of history on the waterfront.
Kotor Old Town is the centerpiece: a UNESCO-listed medieval enclave built between the 12th and 14th centuries, with labyrinthine streets and historical landmarks packed into a remarkably preserved urban core. Your guide provides commentary on the architecture and heritage as you walk through. The tour then continues to Perast, a smaller town on the bay's edge, where the setting narrows between mountains and water. From Perast, a boat transfer takes you out to Our Lady of the Rocks, an artificial island built over centuries by local seamen who, according to legend, laid rocks into the sea after finding an icon of the Madonna in 1452. The Roman Catholic church on the islet dates to 1722 and houses a museum; the custom of adding rocks continues annually on July 22nd during an event called fašinada.
The return journey retraces the coast back to Dubrovnik, with the air-conditioned vehicle and driver handling all navigation. Bottled water and tea or coffee are provided throughout the day. Because this is a private tour, the pace and stops are yours to shape within the itinerary, and the guide adjusts commentary to your interests.
