This is a prearranged transport only to Budva for tour on your own, photo stop for Sveti stevan, then ride back to Kotor. Do not expect any information from the driver about any of the places you visit. The driver will meet you outside the port. I was disappointed no information was provided

Our driver and guide was excellent!
We didn't know what to expect of this port but we were pleasantly surprised-it was one of our favourite stops. The views were breathtaking. Budva beaches looked great, Sv Stefan was nice to see from above, old town was charming. Hope to return one day...
