1.From Dubrovnik: Montenegro Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 4,807 reviews · 11 hours · from $70Our pick

Review of the $70 Dubrovnik to Montenegro day trip, with Perast, Kotor, optional island boat ride, border tips, and honest value advice.

“❤️ Milko took care of group of seven on 27 January to Montenegro. Milko made the best of the day despite a problem before trip started. Once resolved after nearly one hour, rest of the day was problem free. Still group returned to Dubrovnik before 6pm. Border passport control was smooth and rather quick. Like Dubrovnik, Kotor and Perast are quiet in winter season, without crowds. Got to fully appreciate buildings in comfort. Down side: few shops, restaurants are open, shorter operating hours for most tourist attractions or not open at all. Shopkeepers are courteous and pleasant. Suggest Company to improve communication when pick up is later than as agreed,…”

Explore Perast, Kotor, and Our Lady of the Rocks on a private Dubrovnik day trip with guides, transport, and border-crossing tips.

“SI ERES ESPAÑOL/A: EVITA ESTA EXCURSIÓN!!! - Idioma: Considerando que el grupo el 95% de turistas eran de nacionalidad inglesa, la guía prefirió hacer la mayoría de explicaciones durante toda la excursión en inglés. Además las explicaciones para el idioma español no era equitativo en información y datos. - Desplazamiento: aunque el autocar era cómodo y había buena ventilación, el trayecto hasta el primer pueblo de Montenegro (Perast), desde la hora de recogida son unas 4h en autocar. Es una zona muy concurrida, por lo que una vez pasada la frontera a Montenegro (que tuvimos que esperar 40 min) hay muchísimo trafico!! - Relación calidad-precio: CARO! a pesar, de que…”
