About this tour
This session moves from the top of the walls down to the harbour they were built to protect. You see the ramparts looking almost straight down onto the boats below, then the harbourfront itself once we reach it. It follows one continuous line from height to water.
I explain the walls' original purpose from above, then compare that view with what the harbour actually looks like up close. Questions about the coastline's defences are welcome throughout.
This suits anyone who wants to understand how the walls and the harbour actually relate to each other. It also suits anyone who prefers a session that moves steadily from one clear vantage point to another.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included

- Travel to the city
Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Budva before heading out.
-
City Walls Above Riva 21 min
You see the ramparts looking almost straight down onto the harbour below, and I explain how the walls here were built specifically to defend the town's boats rather than its streets.
-
Riva Harbourfront 21 min
The camera reaches the harbour itself, and I point out how little the layout of the boats and jetties has changed compared with the view from the walls above.
-
Your questions 9 min
Time to ask anything about Budva: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Lignje na žaru (grilled squid) and Slovenska Plaža, worth a slower look.
Good to know
- A stable wifi or mobile connection makes the picture smoother than a shaky one.
- Any phone, tablet or laptop with a camera works. You watch, the guide does the walking.
- Times are shown in Podgorica time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 9 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Budva, showing you City Walls Above Riva and Riva Harbourfront live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
How it works
- You get one join link after booking.
- Join from any device: phone, tablet or laptop.
- We meet on Google Meet and the link comes with your booking. I worked on the harbour for years, so the coastline is what I know best.

How reviews work
Only travellers who booked and paid through Locals Guide and whose tour took place can leave a review, within 60 days of the tour. Every review is marked "Verified booking". We check reviews before they appear and publish positive and negative ones alike; we remove only reviews that break our rules (insults, personal data, unrelated content). Guides cannot pay for, edit or hide reviews, and ratings are the plain average of all published reviews.
