モスタル＆クラヴィツェ滝ツアー（トルコの家の入り口を含む）

Great day and knowledgeable guide.

Booked this trip because it was advertised as day trip from Cavtat. Paid extra for smaller group but we were actually picked up at 6am from Cavtat on a big bus and were taken to Dubrovnik where we were then transferred to a smaller mini van that had several more pick up in Dubrovnik. Van had aircon but where we sat, the vents couldn’t be directed towards us so all the cool air were blown else where. It was a hot and miserable ride. The tour guide in Mostar was useless. We couldn’t hear her most of the time as she spoke very softly and monotonic. And when we can hear her, she basically repeated everything the other guide on the bus told us. Our tour included the Turkish House and she couldn’t be bothered to show us where it is. She just pointed, “over there by the bridge”. This place was packed with so many people and with the heat, it was unbearable. Second week of September and it’s still raging hot here. Waterfall was refreshing but again, too many people. I would not recommend this trip at all unless you like crowds and long bus rides in the heat.

This is a long day, so be prepared (but it is worth it). We were exactly 12 hours from start to finish. Stephan was our driver for the day. He was pleasant and knowledgeable on the areas we visited. Kind of a crazy driver, but he got us to each stop safely! A few things to note. (1) Make sure you bring cash! You will need it for park fees and many if the shops and restaurants in Mostar. (2) Be patient at border crossings. You will need to get out of the bus at EU checkpoints to have your passport checked. (3) Be ready for a great learning experience. Hearing of the war for Independence in the 90's and seeing some of the destruction is humbling. (4) At the falls, they tell you that you need to walk down. There are many steps and some are quite steep. There is a train available to go down into the valley and back out. Price at time of this writing was 1 Euro per person each way. Bring swimming suits if you want to beat the heat. Changing rooms are available. (5) The drive back to Dubrovnik from the falls was with the price of the entire trip. Stunning beauty!

Mostar was great, absolutely amazing. Bus driver very scary. The waterfalls are not worth it. Stay in the bus especially if it's hot. Little to no changing rooms if you want to swim. Only one and it had a queue about 30 people outside it the heat.

Amelia our guide was lovely and so informative. Mostar was stunning and our local guide was also so informative. Shops were full of trinkets. We had the kebab at the restaurant suggested by the guide. Food was very good. Could have done with extra hour at Mostar. Waterfalls were picturesque but absolutely mobbed. Given the choice, I would go to Mostar on its own and give the waterfalls a miss. Going in a smaller group was a wise choice.

We enjoyed this full day excursion to Mostar and the waterfalls of Kravice in Bosnia Herzegovina. The pick-up in the early morning at the agreed point went punctually on time and during the bus trip the guide told us a lot about the history of the country and the sights that awaited us. In short, we are satisfied with this excursion. However, I do criticize the behavior of both the guide and the driver of the bus who spoke to/rebuked the group of participants in an improper tone at the border between Croatia and Bosnia Herzegovina and vice versa. It is not always clear to tourists who do not know the situation at the border what is expected of them in terms of procedures and formalities. The tone that both (guide and driver) take towards their guests is downright unacceptable.

We were on and organised trip. The guide was very knowledgeable about the Mostar area being from the City. He was very entertaining and caring ref my wife who has a stick to walk with. Very knowledgeable about the 1991/1993 civil war and related family history about leaving to get away from the war. Really enjoyed the day. The Waterfalls are beautiful but if you suffer from li.ited mobility be aware that the little train that runs up and down every 10 to 20 minutes only goes so far then you have to cope with quite steep steps and crowded conditions going down. All in all a lovely day. Tony and Marie

We booked a day trip to Mostar via Get your Guide and learnt that in future, you should always check the review of the operator on Google, as “Get your guide” is just the platform for all tour operators. And they position only the good reviews in the front. First of all, our bus was late for 5 mins, not a lot but quite a lot when you wait under 12 degree at 6am, drizzling and not sheltered. it sounds great when they pick you up at 22 locations, our bus was already half loaded when we board and yet we stopped another 6 times, took about 43 mins in total before we head out. Not sure what time the guys before us starts waiting. The best part is at the custom. Only 1 officer handle our bus of about 60+ people, you need to get off the bus and stood under the rain to queue. The whole process took about 30 mins, you are lucky if you are at the front of the queue. 20 mins coffee/ toilet break. For ladies there are only 6 cubicles, if your bus is the only bus at that time you have to choose between having a coffee or go to toilet cos both have long queue and you won’t be the only bus. Again, unless you are one of the first to get off the bus you can have both. Rosa our guide is not the typical cheerful and knowledgeable type. Very strong ascent (Period =pair-hee-odd), history are reading from script, (think audio book) slightly worse than a recording because of the repetition. She repeats twice at least in everything she says like a broken record, and thrice on things that’s important to her, ie. Tax and entrance fees in cash only. On the contrary our local guide in Mostar Aidon is so much better, huge contrast. Rosa also didn’t manage the group well. People were seating in different places and personal belongings were moved around. She doesn’t care. Waterfall doesn’t worth $10, if you have a choice. Overall I think this tour is poorly managed. The guide played an important role.

Long day but mostar old town and waterfalls were beautiful. Our guide was fantastic so knowledgeable and interesting telling us all about bosnia and herz, Croatia and former Yugoslavia which she had experience of living in both. Would be good to note that you can go swimming at waterfalls although a bit cold at time of year we went but others wre in swimming. Bit of a pain going through border control twice on way there and twice on way back. However still a great day and we'll worth it!

It was a very fun trip. Our guide Marie was very informative and it wasn’t too hot. The trip was very long from Cavtat…..We left at 6 AM and arrived back approximately 7:30 PM. But g coach transport was fine!
