Tour Introduction
Follow your local private guide and learn the heritage of the Kotor Bay area. This harmony of nature and history, honoured with a World Heritage status, is under the protection of UNESCO for its outstanding value. From the mighty surrounding mountains, highlights of the walled town of Kotor, across the charming Perast, to Our Lady of the Rocks islet, ending with lunch in an authentic tucked-away restaurant; This tour includes a hand-picked guide, all entrance fees, boat ride, authentic lunch and a couple of private transfers.
Before the crowds start arriving in Kotor town, starting from the agreed-upon location, your guide will accompany you on a short drive to the old city, a place with a great number of churches, palaces and museums. Some of the inevitable landmarks include the Clock Tower, the 12th-century cathedral of St. Tryphon, and, time permitting, the Maritime Museum, which stores memories of the long-gone seafaring periods of history.
Following a transfer from Kotor to Perast is a short boat trip to Our Lady of the Rocks church built on a small artificial island in the Bay of Kotor. Seafarers from Perast and Kotor built the islet by gradually filling the embankment, and later they also erected a church on the rocks, thus fulfilling a vow they had made after a shipwreck. To this day, the tradition of bringing stones to the island is kept every year on July 22, during an event called Fasinada. The tour ends with a boat ride (weather permitting) to a famous local restaurant where we have reserved an authentic lunch for you. Drinks are not included.
After this lively and eventful day, your chauffeur will take you back to your place of lodging for a peaceful evening.
