A really nice day with beautiful views all along the route. The tour was well balanced, not too much information and enough free time to enjoy each stop. A very relaxed experience and definitely recommended.
We had a really wonderful day on this tour. Everything was well organized and the whole experience felt smooth and easy. Our guide Edin was excellent, very knowledgeable and always helpful, making sure everyone was comfortable. From beginning to end everything worked perfectly. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.
Surprisingly nice experience. Guide Muamer was great, and the Bosnian Voyager team also did a really good job organizing everything on the tour. Would definitely recommend.
We took both the Mostar & Herzegovina tour and the Fall of Yugoslavia tour during our stay in Sarajevo and it was a really great and educational experience overall. I was travelling with my 11-year-old child and everything was very well organized from start to finish. Muamer, our driver, was excellent and made us feel safe and comfortable the whole time, while Adelina, our guide, was very knowledgeable and explained everything in a clear and engaging way. The tours were quite detailed and very informative, especially the historical parts, which I personally found very impressive. Since everything was in English, I had to translate most of it into Swedish for my child, which was sometimes a bit exhausting, but still manageable and definitely worth it. We both learned a lot and gained a much deeper understanding of the country and its history. A big thank you to Muamer and Adelina for their professionalism and for making this such a positive and memorable experience, I would highly recommend these tours to anyone visiting Sarajevo.
This was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina. We joined the Mostar and Herzegovina tour and loved every stop along the way. Blagaj was absolutely beautiful, Počitelj felt like stepping back in time, and Kravice Falls was the perfect place to relax before heading back. Of course, Mostar was amazing and seeing the Old Bridge in person was something special. A big thank you to Kemal for making the day even better. He shared interesting stories about the history and culture of the region without overwhelming us with information, and the whole tour felt very relaxed and personal. Everything was well organized, from the pickup to the transport, and we never felt rushed despite seeing so much in one day. Highly recommended if you're staying in Sarajevo and want to experience the best of Herzegovina.
Fabulous and plenty of time in each of the places of interest. Amazing views. Our guide and driver Denisa is a sweet girl and a good driver except that we really didn’t like that she was texting a lot while driving. She is also very quiet for a tour guide. She never really told us any histories, stories etc or any introduction about the places. She’s just like our own personal driver to the sights and back. We didn’t mind it so much as she was pleasant enough.
Great experience, five very interesting destinations in Herzegovina, very good, competent guide, very good, safe driver, good value for money
As I myself am a guide, my opinion is about the explanations part, too succinct and even no accompaniment to Mostar. Floating organization. But good driver.
Great guide was great, the van/bus was really nice, and was coordinated very well. I was chaperoning a school group of 12 students, and booked this with only two days notice, and the organizers were very communicative and gave a bunch of options for me to choose. The kids loved the stops, learned alot about each of them, and had time to explore on their own. I would recommend this to anyone, whether traveling with only a few friends, to a larger group like myself. It is well worth your time.
Experience for those who want to enjoy 60% of the wonders of this country. Impeccable driving, fantastic driver and beautiful places that we will carry in our hearts. Highly recommended!
