Strolling the Magical Streets
Meet your private driver for a transfer into the city center of Dubrovnik, from where you'll set out on foot with your private guide for a walking tour of one of the most beautiful stone-built cities in the world. More than a thousand-year history is reflected in every part of the town. As one of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Dubrovnik owes its special charm to the historic monuments which testify to its rich history. While strolling with your guide down Stradun, the main street, pause for a visit of the Franciscan monastery of the Order of Friars Minors, preserving one of the three oldest pharmacies in all of Europe. Continue down to the 15th century knight statue known as the Orlando Column, and the 16th century Sponza Palace, then visit the Church of St. Blasius, dedicated to the patron-saint of the town. You'll also discover the medieval Rector’s Palace, the magnificent structure of the dukes of Dubrovnik, and the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary, home to originals by Tiziano and Rafaelo among other valuable relics. Afterward, you'll part ways with your guide for some time at leisure to explore this stunning town on your own, allowing you to discover some local curiosities nestled in the intricate network of the cobblestone streets. Perhaps take a walk along the city walls (1.5 miles around the old town), visit one of the numerous museums, or take a funicular ride to the top of the Mount Srd. Afterward, make your way back to the hotel independently.
Experience Dubrovnik from a higher vantage point on an independent walk along the medieval city walls, a roughly 1.5-hour circuit offering ever-changing views over the Old Town and Adriatic. The 1.2-mile loop traces stone ramparts and towers such as Minceta, revealing the city’s scale, textures, and coastline from above. Tickets can be arranged in advance by your Destination Expert.

Sights and Insights
Meet your driver for a private transfer from Dubrovnik to Kotor, with a stop in the picturesque town of Perast. Arriving first in Perast, this quiet baroque gem, built by prosperous seafaring captains in the 17th century, is home to elegant stone villas and sacred monuments. Here, board a boat and cruise toward the quaint island of Our Lady of the Rocks, crowned with its iconic church and offering a glimpse into the region's maritime history. Returning to shore, continue along the Bay of Kotor to the walled town of the same name, nestled at the foot of Mount Lovcen. Explore the Cathedral of St. Trifun, a Romanesque landmark and symbol of the city, before visiting the Maritime Museum. Here you’ll discover portraits of celebrated captains, models of historic galleys, and treasures that reflect the rich naval heritage of this Adriatic jewel before being transferred to your hotel for the evening.

Settle in at your own pace, whether exploring independently or unwinding at your hotel with access to its full range of amenities.
Ride the Kotor Cable Car into the mountains for an evening at Forza Kuk, where sweeping views over the Bay of Kotor set the tone for a memorable sunset drink or early dinner. Perched beside the upper station, the restaurant offers a striking vantage point above the coastline, making this a scenic way to slow the pace and take in the bay from above. Any visit is enjoyed independently, with cable car tickets, dining, and transportation settled directly.

Explore with an Expert
With a private guide and driver, set out into the hinterland of Montenegro to uncover the history of the mountainous town of Cetinje. Begin with a journey up the Lovcen, the striking, black mountain that gave Montenegro its name. Discover its star attraction, the mausoleum of Petar II Petrovic Njegos, a striking shrine to Montenegro’s famous prince-bishop, poet and philosopher. Take the 461 steps up and feast your eyes on spectacular views stretching as far as Albania and Croatia. Continue to historic Cetinje, a one-time center of Montenegrin rule and a town with a rich heritage dating back to its founding in the 15th century. On arrival you'll set out on foot through its quaint historic center. Spot the small 15th century Vlah Church, with a fence built of captured enemy rifles, and visit the impressive early 18th century Cetinje Monastery dedicated to St. Peter of Cetinje. Founded around 1701, the complex hides one of the greatest Christian relics – the right hand with three fingers of John the Baptist. You'll also visit King Nikola's Palace, a former royal residence dominated by a lavish Art Nouveau style, later adapted into a museum and eventually become part of the National Museum of Montenegro. Leaving Cetinje, you'll visit the local rural estate of the Martinovic family, where you’ll be treated to a traditional lunch of their homemade delicacies. Relax in the warm ambiance of their stone-built house and enjoy the regional cuisine at its best before returning to your hotel.

Venture into the Outdoors
Meet your guide for a full day tour of Tara River Canyon and Ostrog Monastery.

Enjoy the large variety of fauna, flora, and bird species nestled among the park's picturesque turquoise and green landscapes. Continue to the Ostrog Monastery, the most famous shrine in Montenegro. The monastery which is carved high into the mountain cliff appears as a miracle built by nature and human interaction. It is one of three most visited Christian destinations in the world with its cave-like chapel and monastery complex that preserves the sacrilege of Saint Basil the Orthodox Saint of Miracles.
