Price is 38 Euro per person. We are currently six booked for the tour but the tour operator can accommodate up to 13 people on the mini bus he uses. The tour guide will be the owner himself, Dimitrije Jovicic.

 

Anybody interested, just reply to this message with your email and I'll send you the instructions. If you prefer, email me directly at jlaviolet@gmail.com. No deposit is required.

 

Thanks.

YES, Kotor and Montenegro offer much to see, do and enjoy. As you can see and connect below, I have linked a large number of pictures, details, news clippings, etc., about these interesting areas.

 

In getting people to join your private tour, it would be best to post to the "Roll Call" for your specific cruise. Which cruise line are you using? You tour looks like it offers a nice range of stops and settings in this scenic region.

 

To get you excited, below are a few of my pictures from this wonderful area. Happy to answer any questions, provide added info, etc.

 

THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio

Here’s our driver going to up, back and forth, through twenty-seven serpentine twists and turns to rise up the 4000’ high mountain above Kotor as we headed to the old Royal Capital of Cetinje. You can see our cruise ship down below tendered in the scenic harbor.:

Here is one view in the old Royal Capital of Cetinje with its various buildings connected to when it was the smallest capital of a Europe nation.:

In Budva, here is a view of a church and its tower within its walled, historic area. This coastal town, overall, including outside the walled area, now has about 18,000 inhabitants. This Budvanska coastal area is the heart of Montenegro's tourism. The area is well known for its sandy beaches, diverse nightlife and charming Mediterranean architecture. Budva, as a settlement, is 3,500 years old, one of the oldest on the Adriatic coast. :

As you sail in and out of Kotor, you see these two island with church built on them. Near Perast there are two small islands: one is called St. George island, and the other called Gospa od Škrpjela (Our Lady of the Rock), and each has a picturesque chapel. Gospa od Škrpjela is particularly interesting given that it is the only artificially built island in the Adriatic These are not natural island, but built up there over the years. Spectacular sighting.:

Kotor has a population of 13,500 and its city wall was built by the Republic of Venice. The Venetian influence remains predominant in the city's architecture. Here is a view of a portion of those walls and two different church domes. Kotor was settled during Ancient Roman times and has been fortified since the early Middle Ages. The city was part of the Venetian Republic 1420-1797, except for periods of Ottoman rule between 1538–1571 and 1657-1699. In the 1800’s, it was under the Habsburg Monarchy of Austria and then for time under the French Empire. After 1918, the city became a part of Yugoslavia. In 1979 major earthquake hit the Montenegrin coastal area and destroyed half of Kotor.:

Perast is a few miles northwest of Kotor facing this scenic bay. Perast was at its peak in the 18th century under the Venetian Republic. It had four active shipyards and a fleet of one hundred ships. Many ornate baroque palaces and magnificent dwellings decorated this town that is full of typical Venetian architecture.:

Why aren't you promoting your excursion through your roll call. That is where you are likely to get participants not on a general forum like this
