Hello! My name is Filip. My hometown is Kotor, an absolute gem surrounded by mountains and hidden deep into the Bay of Kotor, one of the most beautiful fjords in the world, which is protected by UNESCO. I am a native of Kotor and Montenegro, and my family is local here for centuries, during all good and bad times we were here (I will tell you some local stories that I learned from my grandparents if and when we meet). I was raised learning local customs, local slang, culture, even how to make local food and drinks. Let me tell you a bit about my professional development. All my life I am so eager and enthusiastic to learn and improve in foreign languages and meet people from all over the world. After getting a Business English degree from the university, I was doing different jobs related to my profession, but honestly none of those jobs allowed me to show my full potential. Then, slowly I started working jobs related to tourism, like being museum guide (docent) at Roman Mosaics in Risan and later on the island of Our Lady of the Rocks in Perast. I liked those jobs, but I wanted to go even further. So, shortly after that I became a licensed tour guide for Montenegro, and since then, I completely fell in love with being a tour guide and meeting people from all over the world and showing them all of the beautiful places we have here. First of all, I really like my country, I admire all of the places every single day, and that's the main reason why I do every single tour with the same passion and enthusiasm as if it was the first one ever. I am into this business 24/7 and I am so eager to develop even further my guiding services. Being born and raised local in Kotor and Montenegro, I am very familiar with places and activities in Kotor and all over Montenegro . Being part of our tours you will have opportunity to see places from different and unusual angles and viewpoints, honest take on life of locals in general, and I will give you professional explanation of every spot that we visit from local born and raised individual prospective. During our tours, I really try to make the best of your stay in my area, and since I am very relaxed and friendly I even made a lot of friends doing these kind of tours. I am very punctual, flexible and adaptive, so I would like to point out that even though we offer very interesting private tours, we can always customize a tour for you, so if you have any inquiries do not hesitate to contact me. As well, after the tour, I would be glad to help you with anything you need, like restaurant recommendation, pharmacy or just help you with directions. It will be my pleasure to keep in touch with you and be your tour guide! - Official Tour Guide License for Montenegro, Ministry of Tourism, Montenegro - Specialization Degree (Spec.

During our speedboat ride fresh air and amazing landscapes will blow your mind on our way to Our Lady of the Rocks island, the most visited monument in Montenegro. Let's find out together why people decided to make an island on top of 21 ft² (2 m2) natural reef. Culture and history of the area are kept in this island's church and treasury, with artifacts like an embroidery in progress for 25 years made by the sailor's lady using her own natural hair. We will make a quick stop in Perast, a baroque town with 300 inhabitants and the most amazing Venetian palaces, that give special charm to this town. Over there you can refresh with a drink or try some local desserts like unique Perast cake (in bars and restaurants by the sea with an amazing view). Instead of stopping in Perast, you can have a short swim in our bay. You don't want to miss Kotor Old Town walking tour, a medieval pearl hidden between mountains!

Airport: ,Cruise: ,ByGuide: Our port is very small, and there is only one exit from the port. I will be waiting for you just IN FRONT OF the port exit and I will be holding a sign with your name. Since the port is small, meeting should be very easy. If for whatever reason you are late, or you cannot find me there, please text me or call me on my phone number that you will get once you book a tour( I have WhastApp/Viber/Telegram, so you can reach me even by those apps).
