Depart Dubrovnik in the morning in an air-conditioned vehicle. After a coffee break at the Croatian/Montenegrin border, arrive in Perast for a 15-minute guided tour and 45 minutes of free time. Admire the town’s Baroque architecture and hillside views before boarding a reserved boat for a scenic Bay of Kotor cruise, if the cruise option is selected.
