    Full description
    Visit the most interesting sites in Herzegovina in just one day: take a 7-hour trip to 3 important cities in the region and visit a beautiful waterfall. After pickup at around 9:00 AM in Mostar, you’ll take a short 20-minute drive to Blagaj. Once there, take a 50-minute guided tour to discover the city and learn about the mystical lives of the whirling dervishes that used to live here. Then, take some free time to explore the area and walk to the source of the Buna river, which offers beautiful views of this whole site. Next, you’ll head to Žitomislići, also only a 20-minute car ride away. Meet Christian Orthodox monks and hear about how Bosnia and Herzegovina became the melting pot of many different religions. Take some more free time to explore the city before heading to your third city.   In Počitelj, you’ll get a detailed historical introduction to the city from your guide. Then, take 1 hour to explore the ancient streets: taste fruits and drinks from local sellers, climb to panoramic viewing sites, or just stroll the streets. Finally, you’ll head to your final location, sure to be a highlight of the day: Kravice Waterfalls. Spend 2 hours relaxing, swimming, or enjoying a nice meal and fresh drinks. After a full day well spent, take the 50-minute drive back to Mostar during which you can chat with the guide or have a rest. You’ll arrive back in Mostar at around 4:00 PM.

    Our guide was very good, Miran. His English was very good and he gave good tips for what we could do in our free time. The tour was very well organized. There was indeed air conditioning in the van and we were with a small group, as indicated. He was one of the only guides who dropped us on top of the castle of politeij, so we only had to step down. He always did his best so that we were in the heat/sun as little as possible. I would really recommend this tour.

    Very good experience, 100% recommended. I went on the tour today, low season, so I was the only one on a “private tour”. The guide, Miran, a genius! He told me about the history of BH, of Mostar, his experience, the current situation in the country; in addition to contextualizing each place we visit with its history and "reason for being". It's all in English, but if I didn't understand something, he explained it to me again! Very satisfied with the experience! Congratulations!!!!

    Great service from iTravel House. They even picked us up at the train station in Mostar. The train from Sarajevo arrives at 9.05 am (but plan on 9.15-9.30). Our guide spoke clearly and had lots of information about the history of Bosnia & Herzegovina. The sites were all interesting in their own right, though we found Blagaj and Kravica to be the most beautiful. There is quite a price discrepancy booking over Get Your Guide vs. booking on location - higher over Get Your Guide - and then there is an additional 7.5 Euro or 15 Mark fee for entries. It’s still a good deal, but Get Your Guide should work on price harmony. Would definitely recommend this trip and agency. iTravel House also offers a free walking tour of Mostar in the evening.
