Budva (Montenegrin Cyrillic: Будва, pronounced [bûːdv̞a] or [bûdv̞a]) is a Montenegrin town on the Adriatic Sea, former bishopric and present Latin Catholic titular see. It has around 14,000 inhabitants, and it is the centre of Budva Municipality. The coastal area around Budva, called the Budva riviera, is the center of Montenegrin tourism, known for its well-preserved medieval walled city, sandy beaches and diverse nightlife. Budva is 2,500 years old, which makes it one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic coast.

The idea of this day trip is to provide the best photo-shooting opportunities, so these 6 hours do not prioritize spending time in towns or visiting the churches but enjoy panoramas and beautiful wild nature of Montenegro. Visiting Budva Old Town, photo stops above the Jaz beach and St. Stefan island are most do in Budva Riviera. You will enjoy views of complete Boka bay, from the famous old road and 25 serpentines. Njegusi village is one of the original Montenegrin villages offering local food and homemade vine(optionally stop). RijekaPanoramic view over river Crnojevica will leave you without breath. This view is like from the postcards... You will enjoy the panoramic drive over Budva Riviera from where you can see the coastal area between St Stefan and the old town. We use one part of the lookouts to stop and enjoy the view. 

Inclusions: Local guide, Hotel/port pickup and drop-off, Private tour

Exclusions: Souvenirs, extra activities(optionally boat drive 1h-25€), food and snacks.

This is a prearranged transport only to Budva for tour on your own, photo stop for Sveti stevan, then ride back to Kotor. Do not expect any information from the driver about any of the places you visit. The driver will meet you outside the port. I was disappointed no information was provided

My family and I had 9 hours free time in port of Kotor, so we decided to take a further look at Boka Bay. We arranged travel agency by recommendation of our friend who has already visited Montenegro. Driver Marco picked us up in the port, and took us first in beautiful Perast, from where we had a quick boat tour to two small island in the middle of the Bay. Next location was breath taking Porto Montenegro, the new built exclusive place in Tivat. After that we retourned and spend some time in Kotor Old town. That was the best time spent to see more of that amazing county.

Found this company by luck and what an EXCELLENT find it was. After a quick chat on the kind of things we like and the places we wanted to visit these guys soon worked out an achievable full day (8am to 9pm) private tour and price. Everything was confirmed via email and the itinerary was perfect along with flexibility from the driver. They did all the arrangements and covered all the fees in the price so we could sit back and relax. A drive around the bay and through Kotor onto Lovcen amazing drive up through the national park (thank god we didn't try and drive that one!) the mausoleum and views over the mountains. Cetinje full English speaking tour of the palace. Skadar a private boat tour with a local tour guide (Niko) who was amazing and a drive back via Budva to check out if we might want to visit it in more detail. FANTASTIC TRIP, SERVICE and PRICE have already recommended them to guests at our hotel and friends considering visiting gorgeous Montenegro

Through centuries many empires came to Montenegro and many succeeded in conquering it. No wonder why there are still remains of different architectural styles standing today still. On this tour, we will guide you through stories and places that have that little “something”. Our first stop is the Old royal capital of Cetinje. It’s a living postcard with small houses, museums and a monastery from the 15th century. The next stop is, Budva old town, the simple must-see spot in Montenegro visited by all travelers but popular for locals also. Kotor old town is a medieval town with a history dating from over 1000 years B.C.Since 1979 the Kotor old town is on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. On the way back we will do a photo stop above St. Stefan island, the former fishing village situated on a peninsula today is visited by Holywood stars and Royal families Skadar Lake and visiting Virpazar town once was the main marketplace of the area but today the main spot in National Park Skadar Lake.

I didn't have any expectations regarding Krujë, but the national museum Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu inside the castle felt very epic and turned out to be one my favorite ones so far in Albania. It amazes me how knowledgeable Andi is about everything you ask him, even specific details! We adjusted the itinerary a little bit on my request, which is always convenient if you're running out of time.

We visited Dubrovnik in early May 2021; the COVID pandemic was still very much restricting tourism, which made the tours scarce and prohibitively expensive. Most operators were only conducting private tours which could cost up to 4 times the normal rates. Andrea, was positively keen in restarting tourism and went out of her way to tailor itineraries that suited places we intended to visit (which included some of the islands in Dubrovnik and some walking tours ) and matched it against other prospective participants to reduce cost and made the tours reasonably affordable yet very enjoyable. Andrea, was very informative on impending restrictions and helpful in facilitating PCR testing, border crossings and transfers. We wish Smile Dubrovnik all the best in the future. Thank you Andrea and Ivo for making our stay in Dubrovnik memorable.
