Hi, I'm Ana! As a native Montenegrin, I know my country inside and out. I’m here to guide you on an unforgettable journey through Montenegro—one that offers authentic experiences that go far beyond what any tourist book can offer. Born in the culturally rich region of Kotor, my family has deep roots in this stunning part of the world, where old traditions still thrive. Growing up in a multi-ethnic community, surrounded by history, I developed a passion for Montenegro's culture, geography, and rich heritage. This led me to pursue a degree in Demography from the University of Belgrade, where I deepened my understanding of the country I love so much. As a fellow traveler, I know what it’s like to explore a new place and want to see it all. That’s why, as your tour guide, I’ll show you the hidden gems and must-see spots that I, myself, would want to experience. From breathtaking nature to fascinating history, delicious food, and fine wine—Montenegro has it all, and I’ll make sure you experience a little bit of everything. I offer flexible tours tailored to your interests, schedule, and group size. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or to plan your adventure! Looking forward to making the most of your time in Montenegro! Licensed Tour Guide, Montenegro BA in Demography from the University of Belgrade

Overview of your Kotor tour

Join me on this tour that will full fill your soul and your senses. Images of crystal blue water reflecting the steep rocky mountains surrounding the bay, local fishermen picking fresh mussels from their farms; seagulls resting on the roofs of old stone houses that once belonged to local millers and captain families, will be deeply imprinted in your hearts, like to all of us to whom the Bay of Kotor means life. You will forget about every-day life as soon as you step into the city of Perast, which will enchant you with its unique architecture, atmosphere and story. What I definitely want to show you is one of the two islands that adorn this unique city - the man made island of Our Lady of the Rocks and its church. This is not just one of the many churches you have already visited in Europe. This church tells of the lives of local people who have woven their soul into the every detail you will see here. Last, but not least… there is the magnificent Kotor, a beautiful UNESO's medieval town that you'll adore!

Ana was a fantastic guide and very easy to communicate prior to the tour. She was very responsive answering all of my questions. She suggested starting the tour as early as possible so we made sure to get onto the first tender out. We were able to have a very nice walking tour of Kotor which was well ahead of all the crowds and it was easy to hear Ana tell us about the very interesting and complex history of Montenegro. She had a driver arranged to take us to Perast and we boarded the water taxi out to the Lady of the Rocks church. Another very interesting and beautiful place. We had nice cake and coffee together and she returned us to Kotor. Overall, it was a wonderful tour and Ana was so friendly and professional. My group was very pleased and we would highly recommend her. She has many local contacts and can also possibly assist with other information.

Ana was an excellent guide, as every TBL guide we have ever had has been. She "knows the territory" and knows how to gauge your particular interests and adjust accordingly. We were particularly impressed that she had prepared, by hand drawings, a set of placards that helped us understand the various changes in governance of Montenegro through the ages. Very useful and we were impressed by her efforts. We recommend her to others without hesitation!!

The tour went seamlessly! Great communication beforehand and leading up to the tour. Perfect tour to introduce you to Kotor and Perast! We did the boat to Perast and enjoyed seeing the area from the water - the weather was perfect for it. She also gave us local restaurant and food dish recommendations for after the tour and we really enjoyed those too! Thank you so much!!

The inside knowledge by a native Montenegrin came thru today. Ana knew so much about the places we visited. Her university degree in demographics certainly was evident as her knowledge of specific data regarding Montenegro came through.

Ana was fabulous! She provided an extremely professional and fun tour for us. Ana provided enough history on how current day Montenegro came into being with a fun and interactive discussion. We constantly were asking questions on how people lived both during the time of Yugoslavia and in present day. She answered all our questions and we had a very relaxing, enjoyable tour. I highly recommend Anna for your tour needs!!!
