A private 2-hour Kotor tour: walk the UNESCO Old Town from Sea Gate, then sit down for smoked ham, cheese, mussels, black risotto, and local wine.
“My wife and I didn’t know what to expect since we had been to a walking tour a couple of days before this one and it had more than 30 people. The audio system they were using was horrible and when combined with the single ear piece they provided, and ambient city noise, you could hardly understand a word she said. This is why we were extremely please when we saw that it would just be Kim and the two of us. She was great and the tour far exceeded our expectations.”

“Great food tour. It was filled with lots of good food and even better information about the history of Kotor. In fact, one of the best parts about the food tour was the opportunity to discuss the past and present state of Montenegro/Kotor. Lots of good history and perspective. Super interesting town. By the end, we were absolutely stuffed.”

“What a brilliant trip. Dragan was a fantastic host, taking us up into the hills to see the stunning Boka Bay and the Lovcen National Park and sharing his in depth knowledge of Montenegro. Stopping off for lunch was a highlight. He smokes his own prosciutto, procures goats and cows cheese from his neighbours and distills his own wine, liqueurs and local firewater.
