Highlights
When we say EPIC, we mean it. 25 Turns is a truly BEAUTIFUL BIKE RIDE. First, an amazing 11 minute cable car ascent to 1300 meters. Then an easy, guided, downhill bike ride with panoramic views of Montenegro, Bosnia and Croatia. This is a tour for all levels and everyone who can ride a bike can do it. Tour takes about 3 hours depending on the rate of descent and number of photos stops, so very appropriate for cruise ship passengers or those on a time budget. We'll pick you up in site of the cruise ship terminal, and transfer you to the cable car station about five minutes away. With the tickets already in hand you'll step immediately on to the cable car and begin a magical journey up on a brand new cable car installed in summer 23" and then down on brand new high quality bikes with hydraulic disc brakes. When you arrive back down at the cable car you'll have a time to get a local delicacy or look at the special range of souvenirs designed specially for your Montenegro experience.

Itinerary
The 25 Turns Bike descent is one long photo opportunity with the best views of Kotor Bay and the surrounding mountains and if you have a GoPro or other action camera, this is a great place to use it. Beginning in Kotor where we pick you up, this panoramic tour includes an informative van ride up to the birthplace of Petar II Petrović-Njegoš, a spiritual scion of Montenegro. You will complete your ride down on new Giant hybrid / mountain bikes with hydraulic disc brakes for powerful stopping on your long, winding descent. We support riders of all sizes with bikes from S to XL, helmets and backpacks are included. The tour can begin in Kotor or Tivat, so meeting places and times are flexible.

4The downhill bike...
The downhill bike experience was canceled due to weather. The tour guides instead drove us around to see the sights of kotor
4Cool down hill
Nice easy ride for someone who rides bicycles Experienced guide/fun conversations/ safety conscious. Meeting location not as easy too reach for cruise passengers as listed and long walk to van from there.
5Epic Turns, Epic views, Epic host!
A fantastic experience. Wonderful views, exciting downhill cycle and superb host. Our guide Armandiux made this experience for us. she gave us all the time in the world and even created a personal video for us with the camera on his drone. He was determined to make the experience happy and memorable for us. He succeeded!
5Phenomenal guide and breathtaking views!
We had a fantastic day with Armando! He was an excellent guide and made sure everything went smoothly. Communication was clear and easy. He accompanied us up the gondola to the top of the mountain where we got our bikes and helmets. The ride down was epic! Incredible views of the Bay of Kotor. He stopped several times to show us unique views and kept us going at a good pace. Our family is experienced in cycling and the route was not physically hard, but navigating the traffic coming up the mountain was tricky and Armando did great staying out front and providing clear instructions. After the tour he drove us from the gondola base back into town. He was lovely to talk with and even had some great tunes going on the speaker that we were all singing along to during our descent. I am so happy that we did this active excursion outside of the main old town area on a day when there were four ships in port. It was a great way to see Montenegro!
5This was so much fun! we...
This was SO MUCH FUN! We lucked out and were the only two ppl on the morning tour (30 ppl on the afternoon tour). Our guide was wonderful. Spoke fluent English which was very helpful. We rode ATV’s for about 2 1/2 hours. We stopped along the way to swim in the river. The water was FREEZING but we still jumped in. The description says a picnic lunch follows the ride however the guide took us to a restaurant instead of the picnic. This excursion was so different from the others and so well worth the 50 mide from the port to the ATV location. (You get very dirty on the ATV’s!)
5Armando is the best guide!!!
WOW what an amazing experience. The cable car ride alone is spectacular, then add in the views from the top and every amazing view at every turn on the descent down on the bikes. Armando was an amazing guide, he put our safety and enjoyment first. He bought a portable speaker so we enjoyed music as we rode and it really made the experience special. It was exhilarating and enjoyable! I highly recommend this tour.

About Kotor
Kotor is a walled medieval town at the head of a winding bay in Montenegro, with mountain walls, Venetian palaces and a fortress high above.
Kotor lies at the end of the Bay of Kotor, a deep, winding inlet often described as a fjord, though it is really a drowned river canyon, with steep mountains rising directly from the water. The old town, a UNESCO site, is enclosed by Venetian-era walls and entered by the Sea Gate, and inside are small squares, a clock tower and the Romanesque cathedral of St Tryphon, consecrated in 1166.
