“No recommodation! 30 minutes before starting of the tour there came heavy rain, storm, lightning and thunder. The old town of Kotor was complety under water. An undangerous walk trought kotor was not possible. Because of that we hade to cancel the tour. We were in contact with the oragnizer, but the answer was, that this is our problem and we couldn't cancel the tour so shortly. Our canceling was not in case of personal problems, rather of the heavy rain and flooded streets. No understanding for that and recommodation for this organizer. Only greed for money!”
