The entire trip was very well organised. From the arrangement of our collection in advance to each step along the way, everything was taken care of. Our guide, Ana, was very friendly and knew her job very well. Our driver was very pleasant as well. The long drive passed quickly and there were plenty of stops along the way to keep us refreshed. Our visit to the site was beautiful and we really enjoyed our day. I have no hesitation in recommending this trip.

A wonderful experience. Excellent service from the Agency. They looked for ways to help choose the best option. The best part was Ante, the guide. Knowledgeable, gave good advice at all times, polite, helpful, good conversationalist. Definitely someone who handles the excursion with knowledge and service.

We are extremely satisfied with the experience we had during our pilgrimage to Medjugorje and the Apparition Hill of the Virgin Mary. Our guide ANTE was exceptionally pleasant and knowledgeable about the history of Croatia, Bosnia, and the surrounding countries, as well as, and especially, the history of the Apparitions and the places to visit. Thank you Ante
Un grand merci pour votre magnifique commentaire. Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que votre pèlerinage à Medjugorje et à la Colline des Apparitions de la Vierge Marie a été une expérience aussi enrichissante. Vos aimables paroles à l'égard d'Ante nous touchent beaucoup. Nous ne manquerons pas de lui transmettre vos compliments. Sa passion pour l'histoire de la Croatie, de la Bosnie-Herzégovine et des pays voisins, ainsi que sa connaissance approfondie de l'histoire des Apparitions et des lieux sacrés, contribuent à rendre chaque visite unique et mémorable. Merci encore d'avoir choisi notre agence. Ce fut un réel plaisir de faire partie de votre pèlerinage, et nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir de nouveau pour une autre belle expérience.
All good … driver very friendly & well organised - was very hot - some of the participants had inadequate footwear and this slowed them up a lot - as a learning think this should be stressed in future… overall lovely day and experience

We also appreciate your suggestion regarding footwear. We do include a note in our confirmation email recommending that guests bring and wear comfortable shoes.

Well, the only thing I requested was a guide in Spanish, but she was very kind and tried at all times to ensure we understood each other.
Gracias por sus comentarios. Nos alegra saber que encontró a nuestro guía amable y servicial. Como se indica en la descripción del tour, el guía que acompaña la excursión habla inglés. Sin embargo, antes del tour también enviamos a todos los huéspedes una audioguía por correo electrónico, que puede descargarse y utilizarse durante todo el día.

Gracias por acompañarnos y esperamos que haya disfrutado de su visita a pesar de la diferencia de idioma.
We went on a tour to Medjugorje and were anxious about the trip and bus/car ride etc. We couldn't believe how amazingly kind and helpful Kate in the office was ... suffice to say, we slept well the night before. We were picked up by Ante and he is hands-down the best guide and driver we have ever had in all of our traveling years. Above and beyond all of his knowledge and his charismatic personality, he was exceptionally safe on the road. Put simply, this travel company is nothing short of outstanding in every regard.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We understand that travelling to a new destination can sometimes feel stressful, so we're especially pleased to hear that Kate was able to put your mind at ease before the tour. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to her. We're also delighted that Ante made such a positive impression. His knowledge, professionalism, and commitment to safe driving are qualities we value greatly, and we're thrilled that he helped make your Medjugorje experience so memorable. Thank you for choosing Amico Tours. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back on another adventure soon. As a returning guest, you'll enjoy 10% off every second tour with us!

We were given the chance to explore Bosnia and Herzegovina and one of the highlights was the climb to the Apparition Hill in Medjugorje. It happened on a winter season so that there only few people visiting the place during this time. I find it worthy of being able to see and feel the sanctity of the place. This is something to consider when you are looking for places of spiritual worship to uplift your Christian faith
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re so glad your visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina — especially the climb to Apparition Hill in Međugorje — was such a meaningful and peaceful highlight. It was our pleasure to be part of your journey, and we hope to welcome you again soon.
We just want to thank you for a wonderful trip to Medjugorje today from Dubrovnik with our guide Gabriel! He was fabulous kept everything on time, so informative and interesting, the whole day was amazing. Plenty of time to climb the Apparition Hill and go to Mass in St James Church, and have a walk around. We stopped at a beautiful outdoor viewing point to have a drink on the way home and he also showed us some 500 year old trees. Nothing felt rushed we had plenty of time to enjoy ourselves and the small group of 7 made it even more personable. We were all friends by the end of the day. Thanks also to Kate in the office in Dubrovnik for giving us all the information we needed for the trip!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day trip to Medjugorje with Gabriel — he’ll be thrilled to know you appreciated his knowledge, timing, and care throughout the day. It’s great that you had plenty of time to climb Apparition Hill, attend Mass at St. James Church, and enjoy the relaxed pace of the trip. We’ll also make sure to pass your kind words to Kate for her assistance. We’re so glad the small group setting made the day even more special and friendly. We hope to welcome you again on another one of our small group tours from Dubrovnik soon!
