The experience

The tour opens with a drive along the coast to a photo stop overlooking Saint Stefan island, where the ruby-roofed buildings sit on their own peninsula. From there you walk down to King's and Queen's beach, moving through an olive garden with views across the Adriatic. The route passes the summerhouse of the Karadjordjevic dynasty, a remnant of Yugoslavia's Kingdom era (1918–1941), before arriving in Budva itself.

In Budva's Old Town, you walk through narrow streets lined with churches and squares, then reach the citadel. After that comes leisure time at Budva's marina, where you can browse shops or sit at a waterfront bar with a drink and a view of the boats. The pace is yours to set during this stretch.

The final stop is Tivat, where you walk the Pine promenade and reach Porto Montenegro, a modern marina complex that holds 450 yachts and mega yachts. It stands in stark contrast to the older, quieter towns you've just left, and marks the end of the route. Your guide speaks English throughout, and the sedan seats up to five passengers comfortably with their luggage.

Top questions

What is there to do in Budva's Old Town during the tour?

Budva's Old Town is a walk through winding streets with churches, squares and a citadel to explore. After the guided portion, you have leisure time at the marina where you can shop, eat or drink at waterfront bars overlooking the boats.

Does the tour stop at Saint Stefan island itself?

The tour stops at a viewpoint overlooking Saint Stefan island so you can photograph its ruby roofs and the peninsula it sits on. You then walk down to King's and Queen's beach nearby and through an olive garden along the coastline, but the island itself is not part of the walking route.

What is Porto Montenegro and why is it on the itinerary?

Porto Montenegro is a modern yachting marina in Tivat that can host 450 yachts and mega yachts. It is included because it represents the newest tourist development on the coast and offers a striking contrast to the older, quieter towns of Budva and the coastal villages you visit earlier in the day.

How much time do I have to explore on my own?

You have leisure time at Budva's marina after the guided walk through the Old Town. The exact length depends on the pace of the earlier stops, but the tour is structured to give you space to shop, eat or sit by the water without feeling rushed.

Is the walk along King's and Queen's beach difficult?

The walk along King's and Queen's beach passes through an olive garden with coastal views and is suitable for all physical fitness levels. The terrain is manageable and the pace is set by the guide, not by a fixed schedule.
