Hello everyone, It's Danilo ! I am truly glad to welcome you to our Land of Varieties! Let's meet up and get to know more about Montenegrin ''slow'' lifestyle, local food, ongoing traditional customs, incredible history and well preserved culture! The only MUST of my tour is to prepare yourself for good mood, lots of fun and photos, everything else is flexible ! I was born and raised in Podgorica, the Capital city of Montenegro. However, I've been living in Kotor for last 10 years, and I proudly consider this amazing town as my second home! My education took me to Kotor, as I graduated on College of Tourism here - but kind and friendly people, easy way of living and delicious food made me stay for good! If I had to describe myself in 3 words, I would say KNOWLEDGABLE ATHLETHIC ENVIROMENTALIST ! I got my guiding licence in 2017, so I could officially share my love and passion for this whole region of Boka bay-1 of 10 most beautiful bays in the world!! Throughout my carreer I served and got to be friends with hundreds of travelers from all around the globe. I see tourism as passion and proffession, so I never get tired. Meeting new people and proudly presenting beauty of this country to them is my goal. * OFFICAL TOUR GUIDE LICENCE IN MONTENEGRO, Ministry of Tourism * GRADUATED COLLEGE OF TOURISM in KOTOR, University of Montenegro * DRIVING LICENCE B CATEGORY None

Overview of your Kotor tour

Discover Kotor beyond the postcard views on a relaxed private walking tour with a licensed local guide who has called the city home for 15 years. Explore the medieval Old Town, its stone walls, palaces, churches and atmospheric squares while hearing fascinating stories about powerful families, sailors, local traditions and everyday life. We’ll visit highlights including the Main Gate, Clock Tower, Bizanti and Pima Palaces, St. Tryphon Cathedral and the Maritime Museum, where you’ll learn how the sea shaped Kotor and its people. This is more than a standard sightseeing tour. Walk at your own pace, stop for photos, ask questions and focus on what interests you most—history, architecture, local life, food or hidden corners. As this is a private experience, the itinerary can be adapted to your preferences. Come for the history, stay for the stories and leave with unforgettable Kotor memories.

Danilo was excellent! We spent a little over 2 hours with him walking in and around the old city Kotor. He was both passionate and Knowledgeable. It was perfect for our group of four and he left us a fabulous restaurant for lunch. Thanks Danilo-Jonathan

We had a wonderful time exploring the fascinating and exceptionally beautiful city of Kotor with Danilo. He shared so much information about the city, it's history and culture, and about Montenegro with us. It was the perfect way to enrich our experience. Danilo is a great guide -- friendly, knowledgeable, savvy about how and when to see the best parts of the city. I heartily recommend a tour with him!
