How to plan this experience

Choose the right kind of Kotor tour

Choose this experience if your priority is the historic town and a guide’s explanation of what you are seeing. If your main goal is swimming or spending time on the water, compare it with a separate bay cruise. A walking tour and a boat excursion serve different purposes, even when both start in Kotor.

Plan the rest of your day around the meeting point

The supplier lists the Sea Gate as the starting point. Leave time to reach the gate on foot rather than treating the tour time as your arrival time in Kotor. If you are coming from a cruise ship or another town, leave a buffer for disembarkation, traffic and the walk to the Old Town.

Separate the guided walk from paid sights

A stop outside a landmark is not necessarily an admission ticket. Check the inclusion and exclusion lists below before budgeting for museums, the cathedral or the city walls. If you want to enter additional sights after the walk, allow separate time and check their current opening arrangements.
