Herzegovina Day Tour: Blagaj Dervish House, Pocitelj & Kravica
Description
• It doesn't feel like a "tour" - it feels more like a day out with someone showing you their favorite places • You'll see Blagaj at a slow, easy pace, where the river, cliffs and Tekija just make you want to stay longer than planned • You'll walk to Počitelj and probably stop more than once just to take in how quiet and timeless it feels • At Kravica Waterfalls, you'll have the time to actually relax - swim, sit by the water, or just do nothing for a while (which is kind of the point) • We also stop at viewpoints like Fortica Hill, where you get that "wow, i didnt expect this" view over Mostar and the valley • The whole day is flexible - no stress, no rushing, just moving at a human pace • Its designed so you don't just see Herzegovina... you actually remember how it felt

Sasa from NowBosnia gave us a splendid tour of the “oasis” Kravica (waterfalls) at a good time of the day for them to be enjoyed. We also saw an early church funded by the Sultan many centuries ago that until recently was operating a massive vineyard, Roman ruins in Caplinja and the 15th century town of Pocitelj built into a hillside with the most splendid view of the Neretva River valley. Also the natural wildlife refuge of Park Prirode Hutova Blato. These little known gems of Herzegovina were worth going with Sasa to get a feel for the cultural history of this region…as well as experiencing Mostar with him on another day.
Sasa was an excellent guide. He knows a lot about history and culture. Also the exchange about actual topics like politics, economy, and the general situation in Bosnien Herzegovina was very interesting and inspiring. The day was a good mix of entertainment and culture. Thank you very much. We can highly recomment hin to everybody. Many thanks, we enjoyed it very much.
Sasa is an amazing guide who allowed us to discover wonderful places in Herzegovina. He gave us a lot of explanations and was super friendly. We spent a great day with him, he was very flexible and adapting to our preferences. He became a friend and I totally recommend a trip with him !!
Mr Sasa is polite, knowledgeable and funny. It was a hot season so me and my companion got upgraded to a private tour. Various hot spots and secret tips were given. We had a great time discovering another side of Bosnia. Couldn't be more grateful to have this experience. Blessings from Hong Kong! :-)
The tour was really nice! I took part in the tour in the winter. Although I was the only participant, the tour took place. I didn't have to pay a surcharge either. My tour guide Saša was really cool and very accommodating. He told me a lot of interesting things about the history of Herzegovina. He responded to all my questions and wishes and directed the day trip towards me. The places we visited were just fantastically beautiful. It was one of the most beautiful tours I have done so far. The trip is highly recommended!
It was just me and my friend who joined the trip, so it was very relaxing. Mr. Sasa is a very nice guy. We learned a lot about the region from him.
Excellent guide - very courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend Sasa, would definitely engage his next time we’re in Bosnia.
One of the best tours of my life. Saša guided me everywhere, telling me the story and the most important news related to Hercegovina. A person of great heart, extreme kindness and professionalism. He speaks great English and works with great passion. Tour to do absolutely! Thank you Saša
It is a wonderful place to calm your soul. However be careful with petty thieves around. The shoppig is better in Mostar area or any area away from the main tourist zones.
Really good tour with lunch provided. Panorama view of Mostar followed by a tour of 3 major spots in a windowless (convertible!) bus. Almost like being on safari!
