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.

Ivo, our guide was knowledgeable and professional. As a private tour, he tried to accommodate our needs as much as the schedule allows and answered our questions (not only about the specifics of the areas we travelled together but in general about Croatia and histories with the neighbouring countries). All the places in Bosnia & Herzegovina we've visited in this trip were beautiful and interesting. Well worth the visit, and highly recommend Ivo and his tour agency. Thanks for making our trip comfortable and memorable!

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!
