Itinerary
. At the beginning of your trip, you will be given a brochure about Mostar. After a two-hour drive to Mostar, you will have 3 hours free time to explore this beautiful Bosnian town. Mostar has long been known for its old Turkish houses and Old Bridge (Stari Most) after which it is named. Between 1992 and 1995 the town was badly damaged during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina and much of the urban centre was left in ruins and the Old Bridge destroyed. Since 1998 there have been major restoration projects carried out in the centre of the Old Town, most notably the rebuilding of the Old Bridge. The Old Bridge was recently rebuilt and many of the edifices in the Old Town have been restored or rebuilt with the contribution of an international scientific committee established by UNESCO.

An enjoyable but long day by coach. Expect delays when crossing the border. We all had to leave the coach & one by one show our passports. This took 45 minutes. On the return leg it was non EU passport holders only who had to do the same. Mostar is an interesting place, but be warned the cobbled streets are highly polished & slippery if not wearing appropriate footwear. Walk away from the main area for eating. We found a traditional Bosnian cafe. The food & service was great & at a reasonable price. It does get very crowded at times, especially crossing the bridge. Well worth a visit.
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the beautiful city of Mostar in Bosnia. The journey was lengthy although our driver made it interesting pointing out landmarks along the coast and countryside. We were given over three hours to wander through the cobbled streets of the oldtown taking in the world famous bridge over the river and take in a drink in one of the numerous cafes/eateries in the city. We returned via the motorway which reduced the return journey by an hour. All in all a wonderful experience.
A great day out with some beautiful waterfall views and picturesque park. Well worth the travel time on the bus.
Unique expirience in a diverse town like Mostar. A bit long drive but minibus was comfortable and air condirion worked peferctly because it was a hot day
Mostar is unique place with rich history. Trip was nice in comfortable bus, had to wait 20min on the border but the driver sorted everything with police.
Comfortable bus, pleasent driver. Very nice expirience. Mostar was busy but its unique history give it a special place wibe
We loved how organised the tour. It was enjoyable. It did took it time due to large number of the group on the border check passport but they arranged 20 mins free time for coffee or toilet break while the Bosnian border check all the passport and a bit delay because obviously someone forgot to bring their passport. Thanks god we were not far away from the hotel - but it was good solid 10 mins after the driver reminder everyone. Not the driver fault- it was just one of the ignorant participants I assumed. So to whoever will book this tour - I remind you to bring your passport with you. It’s located in non EU side. I will definitely recommend this tour to anyone. My kids loved it and we actually had a bedtime story that evening about the ottomans bridge and the Bosnian war . History teaches humanity and kids should be taught about it.
Interesting to journey through Bosnia and Herzegovina and Mostar was a fascinating place. A negative comment it was very busy and overcrowded with too many people in a small area
Nice trip! I recomend going to Mostar. Only minus is that we did not get the information pack they said we would get on the webside.
Beautiful Mostar! great trip with the basics covered. minibus pickup from makarska .. took about 2hr 30 to get to mostar with the driver collecting passports and sorting out the border crossing for everyone. We were given 4 hours to roam around the old town which was plenty of time. It's an amazing place definately worth visiting. Minibus straight back to hotel with no stopping. English from the driver was basic but a printed page on the history of mostar was provided and a time to meet back at the bus .. highly recommend if in makarska
