Ivana was excellent and we had the best experience of Kotor old town, even on a rainy day she was great !!! Great guide !

We had an amazing time on our private tour! I highly recommend it if you are coming to Kotor on a cruise ship. You can ditch the large group tours and get the most out of your short time in port. Our guide, Ivana, was fantastic!! She was very knowledgeable about the city and was happy to answer our questions.

Full description

Start this tour from the main gate (also known as 'the Sea Gate'), where you will find yourself at the Square of Arms, the main town square. From there, enjoy a view of the four centuries old town clock tower. In front of the clock tower, there is a medieval pillory where verdicts used to be read and prisoners used to be brought.

Then proceed to the Bizanti family palace, which dates back to the 14th-century, and along the way, you will pass Beskuća Palace with its Gothic portal. Then proceed to Flour Square where you will see Pima and Buća Palaces.

Cathedral of Saint Tryphon is the biggest attraction, with its construction being set between 1124 and 1166. The other notable religious sights are the Church of St. Luke (built in 1195 on the model of similar churches in medieval Serbia) and St. Nicholas Church (built on the site where there used to be the Dominican monastery of St. Nicholas built in 1540).
