Stories of Excellence: Guest Experiences on the Adriatic
Posted on Google Shane RocheTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We lucked out by choosing Barbarosa for our tours. Goran was the best. Strongly recommend using for your Kotor bay tours!Posted on Google Babica GuesthouseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We went on a boat trip for my birthday. My 5 year old daughter, Luna, had fun and danced like a star on the boat. It was wonderful! Goran is very pleasant and communicative, he put some music for us, gave us a tour of Perast, the island with the church and accompanied us to an oyster farm where we were served a meal with mussels and freshly caught fish, everything prepared in front of us. It was a few hours of happiness. I recommend it for those who want an exclusive trip, away from the hustle and bustle, to see the beauty of the Bay of Kotor from the water. Thank you, Goran! 🥂🍾💙🛥️Posted on Google Tara HennTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such an incredible day with Goran! He was knowledgeable and communicative. Brought us to some incredible sights and swim spots, and timed it to minimize crowds. He was super flexible and let us tailor our day exactly how we wanted it. He made reservations for us at an incredible lunch spot and brought us to an awesome oyster bar before sunset! Very reasonable prices for a full day private tourPosted on Google Katka LapelosováTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We absolutely loved our boat tour with Goran. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and he really accommodated all of the things that we wanted to do and see. He is also just a lot of fun to talk to! We highly recommend using this company as their boats are much easier than the speed boats and they are able to tailor trips much easier than other companies. We can’t wait to come back and use them again!Posted on Google Dhiren KumarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Barbarosa Boat Tours gave us an unforgettable day in Kotor Bay. Captain Goran and his son Luka were outstanding hosts—knowledgeable, attentive, and masters at timing the trip to avoid the tourist crowds. We explored the Blue Cave, a Cold War submarine bunker, the beautiful Our Lady of the Rocks, enjoyed a superb lunch by the sea in City Rose, and even tasted fresh oysters straight from the farm. The pace was serene and unhurried, making the journey itself as memorable as the destinations. Unlike the speedboats rushing past, this felt tranquil, thoughtful, and truly special. If you’re visiting Kotor and want the best private boat experience, look no further than Barbarosa. An absolute highlight of our trip!Posted on Google Bethany DavisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic day with Barbarosa Boat Tours today! The private boat was incredibly comfortable making it a luxurious experience. Davor was really friendly and super flexible and accommodating, especially since we were staying in Rose where the tour does not normally start. He tailored the tour to fit our schedule, ensured we had plenty of time for sightseeing and swimming and took us for lunch at a rustic fresh seafood spot on the coast. Everything was seamless and enjoyable from start to finish so we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable and stress-free boat tour experience 😊Posted on Google Jon WatsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A wonderful day on a beautiful boat with an amazing skipper!Posted on Google Athenais de LimeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastique tour en bateau dans la baie de Kotor!! Goran nous a été recommandé par Captain Ivan, qui était complet et nous n’avons pas été déçus! Le bateau de Goran était beau, super confortable et il nous a proposé un tour totalement adapté à notre famille avec 3 enfants/ados de 14, 12 et 9 ans! Tous ont adoré notre virée de 3-4h pour découvrir Kotor depuis l’eau, le magnifique village de Perast, et l’église sur une île juste en face. Nous nous y sommes arrêtés pour la visiter; ça méritait vraiment le stop !! Avec des stops de baignade, la musique si nous le voulions; les enfants étaient super heureux de sauter d’un rocher de 5m de haut (où nous avons croisé Captain Ivan qui y nageait aussi). Goran nous a proposé de commander huîtres et moules chez un des ostréiculteurs de la baie. Nous sommes passés les récupérer quand c’était prêt; huîtres fraîches et moules chaudes absolument délicieuses ! Goran était avec sa fille Katia, 8 ans, qui a joué avec notre fille et les garçons pour le plus grand bonheur de tous! Pur moment de bonheur en famille et très bel échange sur le pays! Merci Goran de ton accueil fantastique ! 🤩Posted on Google BonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Simply stunning tour of the bays with expert local knowledge - Davor was an exceptional skipper with lots of interesting insights and anecdotes. The shipwreck dive site was an unexpected highlight.Posted on Google Karina VazirovaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a fantastic experience with Barbarosa. Even though we got a little unlucky with the weather, we still enjoyed the boat tour very much - eating incredible fresh seafood, snorkelling above a sunken ship, and seeing different parts of the bay!
