Kotor Old Town & Cable Car Shore Excursion

This tour combines two completely different sides of Montenegro in a short amount of time — the atmosphere of Kotor’s Old Town below and the mountain landscapes high above the bay.

Everything is close to the port, which means less driving, no unnecessary rushing, and more time to actually enjoy the experience.

The combination of history, coastal views, fresh mountain air, and free time at the top creates a relaxed and balanced experience that feels natural from start to finish.

We work with private tours because that’s the only way our approach makes sense. With private tours each guest is treated with respect, as an individual, not one of many. The focus stays on your energy, interests, and questions, at a pace that feels natural.
We adapt to you, not the other way around.

Small group experience

This walking tour works best with small groups, as it allows everyone to hear the stories, ask questions, and enjoy a more relaxed and interactive experience.
Larger groups are also welcome and can be arranged upon request.

Your tour will be led by one of our carefully selected local guides who are passionate about the history and culture of Boka Bay.

Our small team consists of experienced guides who enjoy sharing stories, local traditions, and hidden details that bring the entire Kotor Bay experience to life.

The tour can start whenever it works best for you and your ship’s schedule, but our recommendation is to begin as soon as possible after arrival. Early departures usually mean less traffic, fewer crowds, and a more relaxed overall experience.

The meeting point is directly outside the port exit. Right next to the fence, there is a small café where your guide will be waiting in the shade at one of the nearby tables, holding a sign with your name.

There are only a few tables in the area, so it’s very easy to find. If your mobile phone works while traveling, meeting up becomes even easier.

After your booking is confirmed, we will send you the exact location along with photos of the meeting point, so it will be very easy to find.

For additional convenience, we will also share the local guide’s phone number, so you can contact them if needed on the day of the tour.

Booking is confirmed once we agree on the plan, availability, and pricing. You’ll always receive clear information before anything is finalized.

Payment is made in cash on the day of the tour. All details are agreed in advance, with no hidden costs or surprises. ATMs are easy to find if needed.

We understand that plans can change. If you need to cancel or reschedule, we simply ask that you let us know as early as possible. We usually send a short reminder before the tour as well, to keep things clear and avoid misunderstandings.

In the unlikely event that we need to cancel due to unforeseen circumstances, you will always be informed as early as possible. Because we work with a limited number of private tours and focus strongly on quality, this situation is very rare. If it does happen, we will offer an alternative solution if available. When possible, we also try to provide a goodwill gesture for the inconvenience.

Tipping is not required, but it is always appreciated if you enjoyed the tour.
If you feel the experience was valuable and memorable, a tip is a nice way to show your appreciation.

If you would like recommendations for restaurants, viewpoints, local bars, museums, or hidden places to visit, we will be happy to help.

Let us know your preferences and we can suggest how to make the most of your time in Kotor after the tour.

Yes. The entire tour is planned around your cruise ship schedule, with enough buffer time for a comfortable return to the port.

Yes. The cable car ride is included in the tour price.

Yes. The cable car is modern, stable, and designed for regular daily operation in mountain conditions.

If you have a strong fear of heights, this may not be the best shore excursion for you due to the cable car ride and elevated viewpoints above the bay.

In that case, the Kotor, Perast & Our Lady of the Rocks tour or one of our walking tours through Kotor Old Town would probably be a more comfortable and enjoyable option.

Comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Even during warmer months, the temperature at the top can sometimes feel cooler and windier than in Kotor, so a light layer is often a good idea.

Yes. There are places for drinks, desserts, snacks, and lunch near the upper station.

Yes. The tour is planned to allow enough time to enjoy the views, walk around, relax, or try optional activities without feeling rushed.

If weather conditions prevent the cable car from operating, we usually recommend replacing this tour with the Kotor, Perast & Our Lady of the Rocks shore excursion at the same price.
