Plan this tour
Keep your trip ideas together.
A seven-hour private outing that brings together the old town, a waterfront meal and the island church off Perast.
Meet your guide in Kotor
The day begins with hotel pickup in Budva or Kotor, followed by an introduction to the old town. Your guide leads the way through the gates and onto the Square of Arms, then connects the churches, palaces and public squares with the town’s history. St Tryphon’s Cathedral, St Luke’s Church, the Duke’s Palace and Napoleon’s Theatre are among the landmarks on the walking route.
This is a private outing, so tell Caeli about particular interests when requesting your quote. The published timetable is a sample rather than a fixed sequence for every group.
Use your free time your own way
After the guided walk, there is time to explore independently. Stay among the lanes and squares, return to a place that caught your attention, or consider the optional climb towards St Giovanni Fortress. The climb is not compulsory, and you should discuss whether it fits your group and the available time.
Old-town tourist taxes, maps and bottled water are included. The main tour lasts around seven hours, with the starting town and any requested changes affecting the day’s arrangements.
Lunch in Perast and a boat to the island
The route continues along the bay to Perast. A three-course Mediterranean lunch comes with wine, Montenegrin beer or a soft drink, followed by a short walk through town. Additional drinks are separate.
Kotor’s UNESCO-listed old town is introduced through its history, palaces and local legends. The boat route also provides views of neighbouring St George Island; the included landing and church visit are on Our Lady of the Rocks.
A boat then takes your group to Our Lady of the Rocks. Admission to the church and museum is included, giving the island stop more time and purpose than a view from the shore. The day ends with the return transfer.
