Bosnia · MOSTAR TOURS
The Old Bridge takes an hour and the rest of the day is the question. These 15 sort the walking tours, the Herzegovina loops out to Kravice and Blagaj, and the runs down from Sarajevo, by price, length and how much driving is in them.
Travel from Dubrovnik to Mostar and Kravica Waterfalls with an English-speaking guide. Enjoy a 30-minute walking tour in Mostar, about 2.5 hours of free time, and one hour at the falls. Guides such as Laura, Lora, TJ, Maria, Hannah, and Carmela are praised for clear history talks and friendly help.
“Amazing tour guide and a wonderful day! Guide was super informative, and the sights were stunning”

“Elena was amazing! So funny and knowledgeable. She really made the trip a blast. Bosnia and Herzegovina is a beautiful country and this was an incredible way to experience it for a day. Felipe was also a fantastic driver!”
Spend about three hours with local guides such as Esmer, Harun, or Vedad, tracing Mostar’s war years through an abandoned aircraft hangar, the Mostar War Museum, and former front lines. Hotel pickup, a small group of up to eight, and personal stories make this a serious, human look at the city.
“Esmer was unbelievably passionate about the history of Bosnia and shared powerful personal stories of the war. As a local, he was greeting friends in the street and even took us to a tiny coffee place no tourist would ever find. We loved this different view of the city compared to the throngs of tourists we shuffled across the bridge with earlier in the day. He was also so positive about the future of the country even given its complicated past and complex political issues today. What a great way to learn and start to understand another culture.”

“the most beautiful day visiting the waterfalls and mostar!! lovely guide and definitely worth it! However, please note the time spent in Mostar (2 hours and 30 minutes) does no justice to the town!”

“Das Team von Netetva Kajak Safari ist sehr zuvorkommend. Ich hatte falsch gebucht und es erst an dem Tag der Buchung festgestellt. Mit einer SMS konnte ich das Dilemma klären und unsere Tour auf den nächsten Tag umbuchen. Wir mussten nichts dazu zahlen oder eine neue Tour buchen. Es gab überhaupt keine Komplilationen.

Mein Mann und ich können sie wärmstens weiter empfehlen!”

“My friend and I visited B&H for an overnight and decided to book this tour. We have no regrets! We loved that the tour was completely private with only us and we got the full attention of our guide. It was so much more intimate than group tours we have been on! Our guide was an excellent driver who did not drive too fast or too crazy. We enjoyed the drive and did not feel motion sickness or anything like that. We also loved that he was super knowledgeable of the country and took us to some real gems with great photo ops! The beautiful waterfall was a highlight! Also…”
Walk Mostar with a local guide, beginning near the Old Bridge and tracing the city from Ottoman rule through Austro-Hungarian and Yugoslav times to the 1990s war. Guides such as Marko explain both the monuments and the human story behind them. The two-hour route returns to the central meeting point.

From central Mostar, guide Alem takes you to the peaceful Bunica River for an easy kayak trip through clear water and quiet woodland.

No kayaking experience is needed.
“An amazing trip. The setting is so beautiful and we felt like we had the river all to ourselves. Alem cooked up an amazing Bosnian lunch using local ingredients and fresh mint from the river. It was so delicious. He shared so much local knowledge about the area and they were both lovely people to chat to. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Mostar or the surrounding area…especially on a hot day it’s the perfect way to cool down. If I ever come back I would also love to stay in the treehouses on their site.”
