About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- markusbN966BU0 contributionsIt was wonderful and will remain a great memory for us.This tour offers a beautiful and personal insight into the surroundings of Kotor, combined with a culinary experience. The tour guide, Mili, was incredibly friendly, and we had wonderful conversations about the country and its people. We would definitely recommend the tour and book it again.Written September 27, 2024
- elephantlover20160 contributionsTotally enjoyable dayFantastic day out. Dragan took us to cable car ride up the mountains, then took us to his village where his family makes wine, brandy’s, cheeses, ham. He showed us how all the products are made, and we had lunch in the sun, shaded by the vines and grapes. So peaceful. Then returning to Kotor by the serpentine roads with stops to show the views over the bay for as far as the eye can see. Dragan knows so much about the area and Kotor and its history. A thoroughly enjoyable day out. 6 stars. Ger from Ireland.Written September 24, 2024
- Dee D0 contributionsMontenegroWhat an Awesome Day!!! From an easy meeting in town to driving up to the 25 switchbacks, incredible Views of …. Everything - the Bay, The Agean, the Black Mountains. Stopped and tasted local prosciutto, local wine, cheese and Brandy. Just so much fun with Dragan! Thanks for an Incredible Day.Written September 1, 2024
- amandaberwick20170 contributionsJust perfect!This was our third visit to Kotor and it did not disappoint. Our guide, Dragan was absolutely amazing - full of really interesting history, facts and conversation. A true gentleman. We had a private tour tailored to our needs - after being picked up at the port we made our way up the Serpentine Road to the mausoleum, then on to Cetinje with a guided tour and some delicious eats. Then on to Lovcen National Park with wonderful vistas. Back to a private home tasting of smoked meats and local cheeses and wines. Just perfect. Can't wait to visit Kotor again and meet up with Dragan. If ever you are in Kotor do yourself a favour and book a tour with Montenegro Golden Bay - communication throughout our experience from our first contact to book our tour was without fault. Thank you!Written August 23, 2024
- Kristin E0 contributionsGreat trip whit the best guideWe had a very nice trip with Dragan. He is a knowledgeable and pleasant man. During the car trip up to Lovcen National Park, we got a lot of information; both historically and about how Montenegro works today. The many steps up to Njego's mausoleum was an exercise in itself, the view from the top absolutely fantastic. Njegusi is a nice little village. At Dragan's home, we were served cured meats, cheese and wine. Very good food. Both adults and teenagers enjoyed themselves around the table. We chose to leave the trip for the afternoon, so that we could enjoy the sunset from the height above the Bay of Kotor. Very happy with it. This is a trip we can really recommend😊Written July 10, 2024
- Storyteller7813690 contributionsGreat Tour of Montenegro with Fantastic Tour Guide!We booked a full day tour „Mini Montenegro” for my family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers with Dragan at Montenegro Golden BayTourist Agency. Our day spent with Dragan was beyond our expectations! We were picked up from the hotel in Kotor on time and set off in a clean and comfortable vehicle. He told us many interesting facts about Montenegro, including history and culture. He also gave extensive information about all the places that we visited. The tour included Budva, Rijeka Crnojevica (boat cruise), Cetinje, Lovcen, Njegusi; where we visited his home for smoked ham and cheese tasting and wine and brandy. The hospitality was amazing. He was very helpful, caring and truely a very professional guide! Professional in every way, his wonderful sense of humor showed through our conversations throughout the day and we were just interested to learn more about his beautiful country. He was very flexible with photo stops, never rushing us and after a long fantastic day even offered to stop at a grocery store for us to allow us to buy some refreshments. We really enjoyed our day with Dragan and highly recommend him for all tours in Montenegro!Written April 14, 2024

We arrived here with a boat departing from Kotor, on Kotor Bay. It's a very beautiful church, and I recommend a visit there.Written February 27, 2024
- 189nathanialh0 contributionsGenuine experience, highlight of our sailing trip to Croatia/MontenegroDragon was awesome, this was booked by our tour group gadventures as part of our sailing trip and was the highlight of the trip. The homemade procuitto was incredible and the tour of the park was amazing some of the best views I have seen around. Vehicle was a premium van (new Mercedes) with good air con, everything was seamless. Would do again and promised I would write a review because I was so impressed by the whole experience. Genuine people that want to show their culture not the normal tourist experience. A+. For the wary traveller, Good English, felt safe, zero hassle.Written July 28, 2023
- Rocio A0 contributionsThis experience will stay in my memories for years to come. Loved it!Amazing experience! Highly recommended if you have a free afternoon in Kotor. Dragam is extremely knowledgeable and a joy as a guide. He showed us the best views of Kotor from the hills and one of best sunsets ever. We tasted amazing ham and cheese at his house. So good! And no pushing us to buy anything whatsoever. Definitely the highlight of my trip to Montenegro. 10/10Written July 27, 2023
- shakarims0 contributionsGreat guide, stunning views, delicious foodThis the must have tour if you're in Montenegro. Daragan is so passionate about his country. We have learned so much about the history and culture of Montenegro. We made many stops along the beautiful Serpentine road. Dragan explained the history of everything brilliantly and took photos of us. The views from the mausoleum were spectacular. And lst but not least we visited Njegusi village where we tasted the famous Njegusi prosciutto!Written April 3, 2023
- marink8450 contributionsGadventuresDefintely the best tour to discover real Montenegro and find about the whole culture of the country! Also the best tour company in Kotor...tour guides Dragan and Igor were unbeliavable knowledgable,interesting,funny and local... They take you to some unique places that you wont be able to discover just yourself!Written June 13, 2022
- ChristineFK0 contributionsAmazing day!!We had an amazing day with Igor! Told us everything we needed to know about Montenegro, showed us the best spots, and gave us the greatest food!! Would definitely recommend this trip to everyone :) if you want to get the know the country in one day this is the trip for you.Written June 4, 2022
- 494mima0 contributionsGreat experienceWe had amazing time with Montenegro Golden Bay. We took private tour in the afternoon so we can see sunset from mountains. Everything is arranged fast and smooth and the next day we were on a tour. Everything was perfect: views, scenery, food tasting... We visited local host at Njegusi where we had tasting of delicious prosciutto and wine. Visit to Lovcen is something taht we will remember for a long time: we walked up the stairs but we were rewarded with breathtaking view. Dragan is very passionate about his country, he shared great stories with us and showed us amazing places.Written May 17, 2022
- JNaylor_120 contributionsA fabulous visit to Ostrog MonasteryI booked this trip via their website and asked for the day trip to the Ostrog Monastery on 15th September. As this was a day out I thought the price very reasonable, considering the current situation, so we had the guide to ourselves! Igor collected us at our apartment and brought us back to the apartment afterwards. Igor is most pleasant, funny and extremely knowledgeable, regarding the history of Montenegro. It is obvious that he is passionate about history and he told us all the stories and legends of all the places that we passed along the way. When we mentioned where we had been and where we were going, he volunteered additional information regarding things to look out for, which he didn't need to do. The monastery itself is magnificent and a lot of the traditions were explained to us and we spent most of our time at the upper monastery, which was built into the rockface! On our way back to Kotor we stopped at a traditional restaurant, where we had knuckle (knee) of beef and lamb cooked the traditional way. This was accompanied by a traditional salad and washed down with homemade wine, which was delicious. Just by the way, lunch is not included in the tour and we were taken there because our conversation about where we had been turned to food and Igor asked if we would like to stop for a late lunch. If you love history and local traditions then this trip is for you!Written September 16, 2020
- anau9400 contributionsWonderful ExperienceGreat customer experience. Milena from the agency was always reactive, responsive and listened to every request and question I made. I was also lucky enough to get Igor as a tour guide. Not only was he professional, well versed in Montenegro history and someone you feel very safe with (very respectful and careful driver) but he is very fun to travel with. He has a great sense of humor, is always thinking of making your experience as a tourist the best possible one. I had such a great experience with Igor that I booked a second tour after having completed the first one. Great way to discover all Montenegro has to offer!Written August 21, 2020

Dragan was an amazing tour guide who patiently waited for us almost two hours, thanks to a major NCL snafu with tenders!! But he encouraged us to still come and he would have us back k to port before boarding time. He kept his promise. We loved seeing his family home and tasting the wonderful prosciutto and other items he graciously served us. We highly recommend Dragan and this tour. You will not be disappointed!!

My wife, parents, and I hired Montenegro Golden Bay for tours on three out of the five days that we stayed in Budva, in addition to the transfer from Podgorica and the transfer to Mostar. Dragan and his crew provided excellent service and created customized tours based on our interests. This tour being reviewed was our favorite, as it showcased wonderful scenery of Montenegro as well as allowed us to visit Njegusi, a local village outside of the main beaches of Montenegro. Dragan provided many tales and insights about living in Montenegro and culture.

We had a great tour of a small farm above Kotor, Montenegro. Our guide, Dragan, of Golden Bay Tours took us on an incredibly scenic ride up to his family farm, where they process prosciutto (in Slavic - Prsut). Provided a wonderful lunch up the Prsut, local cheeses, figs, olives, olive oil, and bread. Sipped on rakija, distilled at the farm, and wine. One of the best meals we had on our entire vacation. Dragan spoke and understood English wonderfully. He taught us a lot about the geography, history, and politics of Montenegro. Dragan was a pleasure to spend the day with.

My wife and I spent a wonderful morning, with Dragan, exploring Kotor and Njegusi.
The visit to his family home and sampling of local food and drink was fabulous. Highly recommend this tour and to any couple or small group who wants to get away from the crowded buses and actually experience Montenegro. Dragan was a safe driver and spoke excellent English. His knowledge of this country's history was an added bonus.

This will forever be a trip to remember. We were welcomed into the home of an fellow who makes the best prosciutto and cheese and bread and brandy and wine. He had a fire lit for us as it was cold outside. We were invited to eat and drink all we wanted. Make sure to bring extra cash to buy some for later. About 4€ per package of prosciutto and 10 for brandy. The views are amazing as well. Igor was our best safe and informative driver. Great guy.

We were a party of four from a cruise ship and had researched this tour before we left and purchased this online. So glad we did! Our tour driver who is the son from the family that live in the village of Njegusi picked us up in a very comfortable van at the port. We then headed up the serpentine road to the top! All the way there he gave us the history of the area, himself and his family. We stopped for pictures along the way which were breath taking. Once we arrived in the small village we arrived at his fathers smoke house and distillery. A tour of the smoke house were they cure the most delicious prosciutto was very interesting. We sampled the prosciutto with homemade bread and their homemade moonshine ( what we call it in the states) and wine. The family was happy to see us and were very hospitable. The drive back down the mountain was as beautiful as the way up. You can't go wrong with this tour. It was one of our fondest memories of our cruise.

My sister and I visited Montenegro Golden Bay Agency in Kotor to get some help planning a visit to various spots nearby Kotor. The women in the office were very friendly and helpful! Milan drove us and he was very kind, knowledgeable, sweet and spoke great English. Plus, he's a good driver! :) First thing we did was stop at a gas station to get some Lavazza coffee out of a machine there. Delicious! Who knew? (Well, Milan did.) He then took us up the "25 serpentine road" and stopped numerous times for us to get some photos of the amazing views. We went on to Njegusi to try some homemade cheese, wine and rakija (strong stuff!). From there we went over to Mt. Lovcen and then to Cetinje. In Cetinje Milan showed us the monastery and where the museums were and he waited for us while we poked around for a few hours. He suggested a restaurant to us for lunch and it did not disappoint. It really made sightseeing easy to have someone with us who knew where things were and could point out some things we might have missed if we had been on our own. I recommend Montenegro Golden Bay Agency if you want to combine different sights in one day- it was really comfortable and fun!
