Over the Bridge to the Falls (Mostar)

This trip was fab albeit long with an early pick up from Mlini at 7.10am. There was only one other couple on the trip so we were soon on our way along the stunning Croatian coastline. We stopped about an hour in for coffee just over the Bosnian border. This was quite quick and straightforward considering the new entry exit system but I can imagine that it could be quite chaotic in the busier summer months. Whilst the drive along the Croatian coast is divine, I can’t really say the same about Bosnia. Mostar is about 80k from the border and it’s like the land that time forgot with just a few breeze block houses for most of the way. Around an hour and a half later we arrived in Mostar. Our driver dropped us off and said “ just walk down the Main Street” It was more reminiscent of a Turkish bazaar or Moroccan souk if I’m honest. Very slippy cobbled stones and wall to wall with shops selling Knick knacks for want of a better word or tat as my dad would say! The bridge provided stunning views but it was so slippy and crowded and hot. I can imagine the summer temps of 40 plus degrees in Mostar would be unbearable. Two hours here was enough and we were soon back in the minivan and on the road to the falls, another hours drive away. The falls are stunning and we had two hours here. I think this is about right unless you are wanting to eat and swim. After you take your pics there isn’t anything else to do and normal seating is limited. We left here around three and crossed the border again arriving back in Mlini at 5.15. Our driver Drako(sorry if that’s the wrong spelling) was really good, pointing out interesting things along both journeys, and things like vineyards and other coastal towns along the way. He did drive slightly too fast at times and there were some head in hand overtaking moments along the way so it’s quite a miracle I’m back to write this review! Overall well worth the time and money and unforgettable memories made.

Everything about this trip was amazing. Our guide was very friendly and helpful . I would recommend. views were fab. Thanks

My daughter (15) and I have just spent an amazing day with Edita our tour guide. She is friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. Pointing out interesting facts along the way. It was an early start, but the benefit was she picked up and dropped off at our hotel in Mlini for no extra cost unlike some other Dubrovnik based companies. The early start meant we were in Mostar to get some great photos. We were leaving as the crowds we arriving. The falls were also great this time of year and my daughter managed a dip. Can not fault this trip, money well spent. Would highly recommend

Did this trip yesterday with my mum, it was a small and friendly group, the driver was brilliant - took time to describe the landscape and geography, explain the areas we were driving through. The drive was long but very, very scenic. The van was very clean and comfortable. Mostar was gorgeous, but hard to navigate as someone with mobility issues - luckily you get a rest afterwards in the mini-van! The waterfalls were breathtaking and the time allowed there was just right. The trip is timed very well, we were leaving Mostar / the falls as big groups were arriving. The only criticism I had is that it would’ve been great if there were a couple of ‘photo stops’ added into the drive. This would’ve helped break the long drive up and enabled me to get better photos. You pass so many ancient and gorgeous structures on the way that it seems like a missed opportunity not to add those in. Thank you for a great day! Would 100% recommend.

We had a fun day in Mostar and Kravica with our guide Edita. She was great. She was very prompt in getting back to us after we booked, was punctual, and gave us a lot of background about the cultural background of the area while we were driving. Great value for our money.

I have been travelling to Dubrovnik for many years and all the time DCO organized my trips, not only in Dubrovnik but to many other places. The furthest I travelled there was Hvar, Split, Albania and Macedonia, but DCO always took care of everything. It doesn't matter what you want to visit in the Balkans, DCO is the best company to help you with, the most friendly and most affordable too. I strongly suggest a visit to Konavle (Wine tasting at Ivo Vodopic), Mostar, Kravica Waterfalls, Kotor, Budva, Kayaking in DBV, Botanical gardens (where Game of thrones was also recorded).

A highlight of our holiday, we really enjoyed this. The guide was very informative. Mostar is stunning. The waterfalls were incredible, and the timing spent at each location spot on. I will be back and definitely using this company again.

We booked this trip through Bora,a great guy stationed on the newer side of Cavtat. He was very helpful and gave us all the info we needed. Great company to do this trip with and only 7 people on the tour. We were given more time in Mostar and less at the falls, which suited us much better, a perfect balance. We were given lots of interesting information along the way. No problems at all at the border, very quickly through. Mostar is a beautiful small town, better done in the morning, as we did, as it began to get very busy as we were leaving.

We had a great day! Pick up at the hotel worked great, our driver guide was very friendly and had some information about country and people, the stay both in Mostar and at the falls was quite sufficient .

The excursion through Mostar to Kravica Waterfalls was really worth travelling. The history of Mostar's old town and the bridge was interesting. The place was also very idyllic. Kravice Waterfalls was an incredibly beautiful place.
