Operational notes
B2B logistics and planning considerations
Transfers & airports
We coordinate transfers via Tivat (closest), Podgorica, and Dubrovnik Airport (cross-border). Vehicle options include sedans, vans, minibuses, and coaches. Allow buffer time in peak season and for border crossings when applicable.
Guides & headsets
Licensed guides available in English; other languages on request with advance notice. For groups, we provide headsets to maintain cohesion in the Old Town and on boat embarkation points.
Old Town access
Kotor Old Town is pedestrian-only with stone steps and uneven surfaces. Coach drop-offs are outside the walls; plan short walks and consider mobility constraints for older groups or cruise clients.
Cruise & timing
Kotor has strong cruise volume. We plan around tendering windows, berth schedules, and peak congestion. Early starts and staged group entry reduce crowd pressure at gates and main squares.
