One of the best tours! - This tour is really worth going to, it is an honest recommendation from me. The waterfalls are amazing and the local food there is really good too. Also, the tour guides were really friendly and willing to help.

Lovely way to explore more of the history and surroundings of Banja Luka - This tour was a great chance to get out of Banja Luka itself and see a few points of interest along the Vrbas River during a short stay there. Our guide spoke excellent English and really delved into the history of the city and its surroundings both at the stops and during the drives in between - besides Krupa na Vrbasu itself we saw the hot springs by the river, after which Banja Luka is named, the incredible gorge carved by the river south of the river, the 'stone bridge' geological formation (a short but steep walk up the valley side - wear appropriate shoes!) and a monastery. Krupa itself is lovely, it's a small site but the waterfalls are very pleasant and you can see a still-functioning water mill, as well as having local bread and cheese as a breakfast/lunch, which we ate on the bridge over the waterfall. We were there in late summer so the water level was low but still sufficient to admire the falls, and apparently it's even more impressive in Spring and Autumn when there's more water. Our guide gladly stopped and bought us bottled drinks when we were thirsty after the food, and made sure we could stop and properly admire and photograph the gorge on the way back to the city. None of this would be possible without a car, so if, like us, you're planning to visit Banja Luka by public transport it's a brilliant way to see some additional sights. Going with a knowledgeable guide really helps too, I learned a lot I didn't know about the history of the city and the various empires that have been there, as well some more details of modern Bosnia and Republika Srpska. Recommended for any visitor who has half a day to see more of the area, and wants to try some really nice local bread and cheese!

Amazing tour - Aleksa and Danilo were the best tour guides you can imagine. They really went that extra mile and have a great service mind. We saw amazing views and a gorgeous waterfall. We even tasted some local delicacies that were made from flour that came from the mill at the waterfall. After the tour we asked for the best restaurant in the city that had ćevap. And they were not wrong, it tasted very good. We would definitely recommend this tour to everyone.

Super Krupa (it was a nice tour) - Highly recommended If you’d like to explore local history, culture and nature in beautiful country side of Banja luka! When I joined this activity, it included visit to historical hot-spring, monastery, small hiking to lookout on the hill, beautiful river and waterfall: all in 3hrs. Besides, guides (Alex and Danilo) were kind and have nice hospitality such as sending photos after the tour.

Great Tour Experience! - The tour was great & very relaxing. Nice to see the countryside & mountains. Alex & the other guide was really friendly and nice. They were also gave great recommendations on activities to do & food to try in Banja Luka. My favourite part was probably the short hike up to see the fortress ruins & beautiful views. As I was travelling solo, it was difficult to arrange for tours in Banja Luka. Good Host was the only agency that was able to arrange for a private tour & at very reasonable price. Highly recommend Good Host Banja Luka!

Great tour - a must in Banja Luka - Whether you need someone to pick you up from the airport, arrange a dayak ride or want to experience a trip to the watermills of Krupa na Vrbasu, you should turn to The Good Host when in Banja Luka. I felt safe with my guide and driver, was shown some of the most beautiful spots in the surrounding nature and got a lot of information about the history of the area. The trip was adjusted to the weather. We saw hot springs, rivers, waterfalls and watermills, stopped by a well-hidden wooden church as well as a big monastery. The Good Host went beyond and recommended me restaurants, bars and a great hike I could do the next day by myself. He also picked me up from the airport and brought me back there at the end of my trip, always on time and very friendly.

Life saver - Goodhost has been a great guide for our adventure in banja Luka. I would certainly recommend it for the immense kindness and availability shown not only when organizing Pur rafting activities, but also when helping us during our stay (rental car, airport transfer...). Good prices for excellent service Greetings from Italy

Better check weather before you book - It's smooth with informative guide. Nice to check out different spots outside the town. But the weather wasn't good so we didn't get to hike to the stone bridge, it's a bummer.
