What people are saying about Počitelj

This was such a fun day and very well organized! Our tour guide Luca was wonderful and funny. Pocitelj and Kravica Waterfalls were beautiful stops to incorporate along the way, and Mostar made for a spectacular highlight. The short tour when you arrive was very informative. My cousin and I ate at Restoran Kaldrma. We each got the Bosnian coffee which was to die for! We then shared the traditional platter which was filling and delicious. Finally, we walked around the shops and grabbed some to-go desserts from Caffe Lasta. From the outside it looks like a gelato stand, but if you go inside they sell homemade baklava, kadaif, and Turkish delight that you can't leave without trying! Though I wish we had maybe one extra hour to explore Mostar, the day was absolutely perfect.

Kenan was an amazing tour guide! He drove very safely during the tour, especially when it was foggy out. He was very knowledgeable and personable. We had so much fun taking pictures and hearing about the history of Bosnia, the sites we visited, and the different cultures. Bosnia Herzegovina is truly a hidden gem of the world! I will be recommending this tour to all my friends and family. He went above and beyond for any request to visit a store. He provided delicious sandwiches, took pictures for us, and honestly was one of the best tour guides we have ever had. We also taught him a thing or two about mallards. It was such an amazing experience and beautiful country! He explained the history and culture very clearly. Thank you for having us!

We had such a fun day exploring more of Bosnia with our amazing guide Anel! He was very flexible with the day, making sure we spent the right amount of time at each place. He was clearly very proud of his country and we thoroughly enjoyed listening to his story’s and knowledge of the area. The lunch spot he recommended us was a wonderful spot with delicious food, a great view and friendly staff. This was the perfect way to see more of this beautiful country and I would highly recommend this tour.

Anel was very helpful and knowledgeable. I am very impressed with his knowledge of the history. Thank you Anel!

The trip was great. Very informative. Enjoyable. Relaxing. Well organised. 5 stars!
