Although Montenegro's recorded history reaches back to the 9th century, it was only formally recognized as its own nation in 2006, making it one of the world's newest countries. Kotor, located in a dramatic and secluded Mediterranean Bay (at the head of southern Europe's deepest fjord), is one of Montenegro's most picturesque cities.

Take a private Kotor tour, and experience the allure of this beautiful town with a friendly and knowledgeable local guide.

Kotor is a compact city, perfect for walking. You'll want to take your time wandering through <i>Stari Grad</i> (Old Town), exploring its cobbled laneways and atmospheric squares. Your guide will be sure to show you the striking St Tryphon Cathedral, with its magnificent Romanesque-Gothic architecture, and the 12th century Church of St. Luke. Your guide also knows the best places to sample the regional cuisine, so be sure to ask for restaurant recommendations!

Enjoy the flexibility and friendliness of your private Kotor tour.

Kotor

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!
