Really enjoyed Perast - just picture perfect, a really beautiful place. We didn't do the boat trip as the view of the little islands with the churches on is fantastic from the waters edge. Guide [Nico] was brilliant again making sure everything ran smoothly and giving us loads of information. The coach one his trip was a bit better than a previous one but still the 50 minutes or so sat in it getting across the border but it has to be done. Kotor is another fascinating but busy place with great walls to walk around. Save yourself 15 minutes and don't follow the guide to the restaurant - you don't need to and you don't need the map they insisted we did - loads better restaurants elsewhere so just break off and do your own thing - this is the only thing I don't like about these trips - the filing you into a rsteraunt I presume there is some sort of deal with. But overall another 5 star trip with brilliant views on the way and once we got to the stops. Would recommend.

This was a long but wonderful day. The 6.15am start was worth it as we got to see Mostar before the crowds arrived at lunchtime it was a very hot day so the visit to kravica waterfalls was just heaven. Matija our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and Zara the guide we had in Mostar was just amazing. Very professional and full of knowledge. The trip was great value for money. Our driver was great too.

A very enjoyable trip. It's just a shame that you have to get out of the boat to swim in the lake. The captain was friendly and slowed down or stopped the boat when he saw passengers taking photos. I recommend it.
