What Makes Private Tours the Best Way to Explore Kotor

Do you like private tours? If so, there’s no better place to try than Kotor. This is a small town in Montenegro. It is a beautiful place with big mountains, a blue sea, and old stone streets.

When you walk into this town, it feels like you are in a fairy tale.

Many people come here every year to see the lovely town. Some go in big tour groups, while others prefer private tours.

But why?

These tours are not just for exploring the place but also for experiencing it. You get to go slow, see more, and have more fun. 

In this article, we will talk about why private tours are the best way to enjoy Kotor.

To know more, read on! 

1. Go at Your Own Speed

When you go on a big group tour, the guide moves fast. You have to walk with everyone. If you see something you like, you can’t stop for long.

That can be a little sad.

But when you choose private Kotor Tours, you can go at your own speed. You can enjoy a two-hour food tour, where you can enjoy traditional food, and a four-hour bay tour, and visit interesting places in the city.  

Feel free to stop when you want, or sit if you get tired, and spend more time in places that you like.

No one will tell you to hurry. It is your tour, so you get to decide how fast or slow to go. This is great for families, for older people, or for anyone who wants to take it easy.

You don’t have to rush. You can enjoy the tour your way.

2. The Guide Talks Just to You

In a big group tour, the guide talks to many people at once. It can be hard to hear. You might want to ask something, but the guide is too busy.

On a private tour, it is different. The guide is just for you. 

You can ask all your questions and talk about what you like. If you enjoy stories, the guide can tell you fun ones.

If you like pictures, the guide can show you where to take good photos. It feels more like a nice walk with a smart friend. You learn more and enjoy more.

The guide is there to help you, not a big group.

3. Find Secret Places

Kotor has many small streets and quiet spots. Big tour groups don’t always go to these places. But private guides know all the secret places.

They can take you to small streets with flowers. They can show you high places with pretty views.

These places are not in most guidebooks. They are special and peaceful. 

Enjoy your time there. No big crowds or noise. Just you, your guide, and beautiful places. This makes your tour feel like a real adventure.

You will see the side of town that most people miss. It will feel like a secret just for you.

4. Take Better Pictures

When there are too many people, it’s hard to take nice or professional photos. In big group tours, you have to take pictures fast. You may not get the best shot.

But on a private tour, you have more time. Wait for the perfect moment to get one or stop at pretty places. 

Plus, your guide can even take pictures of you. They know the best places to take photos. You don’t have to worry about people walking in front of your camera.

This is good if you want to keep pleasant memories or share photos with your friends. You can take it slow and enjoy each spot.

5. Choose What You Like

Private tours are all about you. Do you like trying recipes, listening to old stories, or discovering art? You can tell the guide, and they will plan the tour for you to visit places that match your interests. 

Maybe you want to visit a nearby town, or maybe hike to a high place. You can do that too.

If you’re celebrating a birthday or honeymoon, the guide can make the tour feel even more special. You won’t get the same tour as everyone else.

You get your own day made just for you.

That’s what makes it fun.

Now, we know why private tours are so special. Let’s explore where we can book a tour. 

Where To Book:

To get experience in private tours, you must know where to book one from. Here are three sites mentioned for the best booking: –

• Miro & Sons:

It is a local, family-run tour company based in Kotor. They offer private tours that are fun, friendly, and full of great stories. They offer a variety of tours ranging from wine and food tours to cable car tours.

One interesting fact is that they are awarded as the best tour guides in Montenegro.

They offer professional guides, and their packages include food and drinks. This makes it a worthy tourist site to check!

• Kotor.Tours

It is a good site for booking private tours. They offer walking tours, boat trips, and visits to nearby towns like Perast.

Their guides are locals, and they really know the best stories and quiet places. You can enjoy the place without crowds, and the tour can be made just for you.

But one small thing—you won’t find many reviews or videos on the site, so it’s a little harder to know what to expect before you book.

• Mont Travelers

Mont Travelers is a small Montenegro-based company that offers private tours around the city and nearby areas.

Their tours often include extras, such as snacks or local tips. But keep in mind—their website isn’t the easiest to navigate, and some details can be a little hard to find unless you reach out directly.

So, it might take a bit more effort to plan your tour here.

TL;DR

Kotor is a lovely town full of history and charm. But the best way to see it is in your own way. You just enjoy the day. Yes, it costs more, but what you get is worth it.

Personally, I travel with kids, and my parents (now just my Mom) so, we like to move at a slower pace. Plus, even when we travel as a couple, or just the kids, we like to see the “off the beaten path” things and things only locals know.

So, if you are planning a trip, try a private tour.

It will make your day special. You will leave with big smiles and happy memories.
