102 tours  ·  from $25 a head

Kotor is a base as much as a sight: the walls take a morning, the bay takes everything else. These 15 sort the cave runs, the speedboats, the walking tours and the cable car by price and by how early they leave.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 181 reviews · from $208

Guides such as Igor, Milos, Nina, Slavko, and Daniel tailor the day to your interests. Hotel or port pickup, boat transport, museum entry, and island admission are included.

“We arrived in Kotor by cruise ship. Easy to find our guide. Unfortunately our arrival came at the same time as a huge thunderstorm. Our guide was great. Found us shelter in a cafe and ordered us coffee while we talked about the town and waited out the weather. He just rolled with it. This caused about an hour delay, but our guide didn't short change us and included everything as planned. He spoke great English and answered all our many questions about the region. He even dropped us off to our lunch reservation about a mile outside of town. Highly recommend.”
