The experience

The tour starts at Kotor's Farmer's Market, where you taste smoked ham, sausages, local cheese, and grappa straight from the vendors' stalls: the same morning catch and produce locals buy. From there, your guide leads you down the cobblestone streets to a historic bar tucked into Kotor Old Town, where you sip Amaro Montenegro, a liqueur made from 40 botanicals since 1885, surrounded by the everyday rhythm of the town.

The next three stops move through the squares and hidden corners where Kotor's food actually lives. At St. Tryphon Cathedral's square, you eat fresh mussels in buzara sauce with bread, olives, and Montenegrin white wine. Then comes black risotto (squid and ink) paired with red wine in a secluded stone corner. The tour ends with Krempita, a cream pie of flaky pastry and vanilla, served with coffee, a recipe passed down through generations of local women.

Your guide is licensed and speaks English throughout. The whole route stays inside Kotor Old Town on cobblestone streets. Water and coffee come with the booking, and all alcoholic beverages are included. The tour is wheelchair accessible, and public transport stops are nearby if you need it.
