    Full description
    Visit Kotor bay in Montenegro, one of the most scenic and picturesque places on the Adriatic Sea. It is also the biggest bay on the Adriatic, because of its strategic importance in this turbulent region, it has been under rule by different nations. Each of them left a mark that can be seen today through a beautiful blend of architectural influences. Romans, Turks, Venetians, Austrians - each nation left a mark on this region and its cities. After your departure from Dubrovnik and a scenic drive through Konavle valley, enter Montenegro where you make a short stop at Verige to take photos of the beautiful landscape just before entering Kotor bay. Continue your drive along the coast through Risan and Perast, to reach Kotor. Often called the best preserved and prettiest town in Montenegro, this UNESCO-listed fortified city is famous for its city walls, a display of Venetian-inspired architecture, beautiful churches, and rich history of maritime trade and shipping. Whether it was independent, or as a part of the Byzantine empire, Serbian kingdom or the Venetian republic, Perast may be one of the most historically intriguing places in Boka Kotorska. Baroque, renaissance palaces and narrow streets in Perast will take you back to a time when the city’s residents lived in luxury and wealth. In Perast, you have the opportunity to take a boat ride and visit Our Lady of the Rocks island. The legend says that in 1452 two brothers found Mary’s picture on a rock in the sea. This led to a miraculous healing of one of the brothers. Ever since locals have been bringing rocks and sinking ships next to this rock. An island was formed and first a chapel was built, then a church in its place. Some call it the Croatian Sistine chapel because of the artwork that enriches its walls. Itinerary:

    So enjoyed our tour to Montenegro with Amico Tours; Kotor was fabulous & Perast was stunningly beautiful! LOVED going to Our Lady of the Rock island, such an amazing history. I highly recommend this tour and Gabriel was an awesome guide! He was so knowledgeable & interesting & he was a lot of fun too (told some great jokes!).

    Gabrielle was the best tour guide ever! He was so friendly and funny and he knew a lot about Montenegro, Kotor and Paresta, very knowledgable and approachable to ask questions. Had so much fun and experience visiting the City walls of Kotor, and visit to the Island our lady of the rocks with a beautiful church there. Very quick boat ride to there and fully guided tour around that area.

    The tour to Kotor and Perast is very good for those who have little time and would like to take a trip to Montenegro from Dubrovnik. However, despite 3h in Kotor, it would be more interesting to be able to stay at least 4h. The ideal time to go will be late May or late September/early October as we don't waste much time at the border and the heat is ideal for walking around the region. Very professional and friendly guide, as well as very good transport conditions. Thank you Gabriel (Amico tours) for the tour. We liked a lot.
