We wanted to express our sincere gratitude for the incredible Mostar tour. It was truly an unforgettable experience for us. Our tour guide, Ahmet, took great care of us from start to finish. The information he provided was detailed and very informative, making the tour even more enjoyable. The car journey was safe and comfortable, allowing us to fully relax and take in the beautiful scenery. The sandwich we had was delicious and very satisfying. Ahmet was also extremely helpful with everything we asked and needed during the tour. We truly appreciate his kindness and professionalism. Thank you again for such a well-organized and enjoyable tour. We will definitely recommend your services to our friends!

Interesting trip but bear in mind if you come in March there may be less things open Pocitelj was deserted with one cafe open to get a drink and a quick hike to the fort at the top and down again. The Kravica waterfalls were nice but again here nothing was open so nowhere to get refreshments etc. We had visited Plitvice falls last year in Croatia and Kravica falls are nowhere near as impressive or extensive. Mostar is an interesting town to visit and the river area is lovely lots of shops and restaurants. We learned a lot about the 1990s war for independence from our lovely guide which I found really interesting and there was some stunning scenery. Long driving distances though.

Great day trip to see the sights our tour guide Achmed was great! He was super helpful and very knowledgeable. We visited in the winter and it was raining heavily this day but that didn’t stop Achmed standing there and giving up his umbrella to other people on the tour whilst still being great facts and lots of fun. If you go in the winter like us or the summer and get the opportunity to swim in the waterfalls I’m sure you’ll have a great time! 10/10 would definitely recommend.
