Review of a Dubrovnik to Montenegro day trip with Perast, Kotor, optional boat ride, scenic drives, border tips, and honest value advice.

We spent about an hour and half at the border because of the bus in front of us. Otherwise, good tour - only suggestion I have, try to book a small group tour - with big group you will miss city of Budva which I wanted to see.”
