I booked my tour in the office directly in the center of the old town. The lady in the office was really friendly and gave me a lot of helpful tips! On the tour we were a small group of four and had two amazing guides! They were really nice and funny! We had a few good chats and got a lot of informations! For me the best tour I did in Herzegovina! Inspecially the waterfalls were one of my highlights, also there we got the tip for a less busy walk, so I could enjoy the waterfall view just for myself :)) But if you take the morning tour the waterfalls will be nearly empty at the first half hour :) I loved the tour and had an amazing day!! Thank you!
Such a fantastic tour! Out guide, Leo, was so friendly and knowledgeable - he showed us some beautiful places in the Herzogovinan countryside. We loved the waterfalls and the Ottoman town of Pocitelj, such a great way to see the country which would have been impossible on public transport. Leo even dropped us at the airport on the way back which was so helpful. Would definitely recommend!
Did the Hercegovina tour - Blagaj - Picitelj - Kravice. In April most agencies said it was low season and they needed min two people but I was able to find this agency who were running the tour. Good knowledgeable English speaking guide
Best of mostar tour and a great guide in leo. Fantastic knowledge about mostar. Flexible with time you want to spend in each place. Overall a truly memorable trip with Leo. Prices were decent. Stopped at the best bakery in town and we found veg options in the bakery. So happy.
This was one of the best experiences to see places around Mostar. My guide was Leo. He was absolutely amazing. Knowledgeable, patient and very friendly. He went above and beyond to accommodate a few changes as I was the only tourist in the trip. I can't tell you how much I loved and learnt about the country and its history during this trip. Thanks
The overall excursion great. All well organized. We were a small group of three people (a good Mood was created). The guide Anel was great, very professional and a charming person, told us about the history of the country in general and the sites visited + anecdotes, very willing to answer our questions. BH is a country worth visiting. I'd definitely come back. PS: tickets to the waterfalls and Blagaj Monastery not included: 10€ and 5€. The only catch: was very hot that day.
We had an amazing time with our tour guide Anel!! He gave us plenty of background information about the sights we visited, and also about history and life in Bosnia. We could ask him anything, and learnt so much! Can also fully recommend the tour - stunning views and a fantastic mix of nature and culture. It‘s one of the few tours I would do again and again
Amazing trip, made even better by our guide Adi. If you're considering a day trip from Mostar don't hesitate to choose this one from Stari Most.
The tour takes you in a van for 6 people, plus the tour guides, who are very friendly and will answer any question you have. The places included in the tour are all beautiful, thank you!
Just returned from a wonderful trip to Bosnia, we booked a tour with this agency and had a great time! Our guide, Adi, is a fantastic person, he took us to the places provided for the tour leaving us a lot of freedom regarding the timing and methods, to make us fully enjoy the day... and showed us other really magnificent places, which we will always carry in our hearts! Bosnia is beautiful, we were really impressed by the beautiful landscapes and its history, I highly recommend visiting it and trust this agency! You won't regret it!
