We had such a wonderful day - highly recommend this trip. We had read reviews about the long delays at the Croatian border but we didn't have that experience at all, we just had to wait for everyone's passport to be processed (about 50 people on the bus took about 15 minutes). Our guide, Tanya, was kind and gave us plenty of interesting information about the history of the countries and region in general. The bus was clean and air conditioned.

Highly recommend this day trip. The sights were really stunning and I learned a lot from the guide. In Kotor, I hiked up to a fort on the mountain for a great view of the fjord, and I still had time to wander around the old town. In Budva, I walked to a beach and it was another great view. If you have lunch in Budva, you'll have the perfect amount of time in each place.

beautiful place, not too far on the coach although passport control at borders were a very long time so be aware if your on a big coach

Great guide & Montenegro is truly a hidden gem! Loved every minute of this adventure
