What is the Kotor bus tour for cruise ship passengers?
The 4‑hour Shore Excursion is perfect. It’s efficient, covers Perast, Budva, and offers a boat ride to Our Lady of the Rocks, guaranteeing a timely return to port with free time to explore Kotor Old Town before your ship departs.
Are Kotor bus tours suitable for seniors or those with limited mobility?
Yes, most comfort bus tours are excellent. They handle the winding roads, and you see the sights from the vehicle with strategic stops. For the best experience, look for tours with “comfort” or “private” vehicles and confirm step‑count with the operator.
Can I visit Montenegro from Dubrovnik on a day tour?
Absolutely! Several highly‑rated small‑group day trips run from Dubrovnik. They handle border crossings and show you Perast, Kotor, and Budva in a long but seamless day, making it a fantastic way to add Montenegro to your Croatian holiday.
What should I book first: a Kotor bus tour or a boat cruise?
Book your bus tour first! These popular day trips to Lake Skadar or the interior often sell out. Kotor boat cruises on the bay are more frequent and readily available for your remaining free time. Secure your inland adventure spot early.
Is a hop‑on hop‑off bus worth it in Kotor?
For flexibility and value, yes. The 1‑day ticket lets you explore the bay at your pace, includes a walking tour, and offers discounts. It’s ideal if you prefer to linger in photogenic spots like Perast or enjoy a beach break in Orahovac.
