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.

As a Montenegrin, born and raised in Kotor, I know every corner of it. So come join me on this adventure, as we use a time machine to take you through a unique medieval journey through Kotor Old Town. Let's stroll around old town piazza's surrounded by medieval palaces and Maritime Museum that keeps seamen legacies inside. Diversity of religion with unique Orthodox churches and St Tryphon Catholic cathedral hold many interesting stories as well. You will be amazed when you see and hear about Northern gate and its river, with the old caravan road above! Learning about 4. 5km ancient walls from 2C AD that surrounds Old Town and the fact that they are built on harsh slopes will blow your mind! Medieval-Modern Kotor comparison is another curiosity that should be fun! I will go a step further and tell you about town secrets, like what's below Old Town even now… Citadel view overlooking the river and mountains rising from the sea will be a photo stop that will create a perfect memory of this unique experience!
