Very short and sweet
This walking tour was all in one section of Kotor and was packed with history and color. Our guide was very educated with the local history and personal. Well worth the money.

Wonderful Kotor Tour
My son and I had a wonderful tour of Old Kotor by a young gentleman. We were the only ones on the tour. He was very knowledgeable and told us interesting stories about the history of the area. Afterwards, we had lunch at his family's restaurant. It was great. I highly recommend this tour. Would love to return to the area.

Tour of Kotor
The walking tour of Kotor was very good. Igor was an excellent guide with plenty of information about Kotor and what it was like growing up in Kotor. The walk was just about two hours which left us with plenty of time to walk around on our own afterwards. We met the tour on the dock immediately after getting off the ship. A person from the tour company held a sign clearing listing our names. We were in a group of about ten people making the size manageable. I would highly recommend this tour to others.

History of Kotor
This excursion was great! Our guide was excellent. She pointed out lots of sites and the history behind her town. She gave us time to take photographs but we still covered lots of ground to see everything. She even pointed out some great spots to eat when our excursion was over. I do recommend this excursion to others.

She was very pleasant, extremely knowledgeable, humourous, and spoke excellent English. We were the only people in the group so we had a fun time. We would highly recommend the tour and Jovana

Excellent Tour of Kotor
This tour was a personal tour with my husband and I and the tour guide. It was wonderful. Our guide catered the tour to what we were interested in and gave fun and interesting facts. We didn't know much about Kotor but loved it by the time we left.
