Great way to spend a day! - Long but very interesting day.
Got pick up from the hotel at 6:00 and got back at 20:00.
Our guide, Maria, was full of information and told us about the history and present of Bosnia and Hertzegovina, Kroatia and times in Jugoslavia before it broke down. The waterfalls were amaizing and city of old Mostard beautiful. I can highly recomend this activity for your holiday.

Excellent day out - We booked the 7 person tour so we were in a smaller vehicle which was very comfortable. Important because you are spending quite some time travelling.
Lora, our guide was a very competent driver and was also brilliant at telling the story of her homeland. As you will know, a complicated story, which she was able to convey clearly. She also picked some really nice photogenic spots to stop along the way.
The Kravice waterfalls are well worth the visit and if you have time do take a swim. The entrance to the pool is very stoney so it’s good if you have footwear you can use. Also changing facilities are limited (there are toilets).
Mostar was a real surprise - very hot but well worth a visit our guide Johnny gave lots of really good insights into the history of Mostar including a great explanation about the bridge jumpers and we actually got to see some of the jumps.
We also opted for the Turkish house visit although Johnny preferred the title Bosnian house.
He also gave us a really good tip at the end of the tour that we should pay a couple of euros at one of the mosques to give entry to a courtyard overlooking the river where we got some brilliant photographs of the famous bridge.
Top tips.
Do not forget your passport. You will be passing through at least three border controls
Remember to take euros with you as many places will not take credit cards
Drink plenty of water
Don’t forget suncream

Excellent - We loved the kravice waterfalls, it was so refreshing the water was around 12c but don't let that stop you!
Very well organised guide and driver, very informative on sightseeing and telling stories of the past yugloslavian reign.

A must do! - A must do! Simple as that! We were staying in Cavtat. Pick up was easy. 15 people on the tour.
Everyone from a different nationality but a really friendly group. Your guide was spot on, just gave you the good stuff. Easy border cross now the new bridge is there. The waterfalls are stunning. Take your trunks as you can swim! I had to go in my boxers as couldn't resist. They’d dried off before the bus as it was that hot. Mostar is the perfect place for lunch after and a really unique town. Really recommended!

Very happy we came - highly recommend!! - We had had a very disappointing tour experience to Montenegro a few days earlier from the same company, and nearly cancelled the Mostar tour.
We are so glad we didn’t! It seems if you get lucky with your guide, then it just makes the whole day.
It was a long day - we were one of the first pick ups at 6am, then one of the last to be dropped off at around 8 (to Cavtat). However the day flew by. Our driver (his name began with P, but we forgot exactly what it was) was smily and very safe, and seemed happy every time we came back to the bus happy!
We also got lucky with speedy border crossings.
Our guide Maria was awesome! She gave an interesting and relevant running commentary on and off for most of the journey. We learned a lot about Yugoslavia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, politics, religion, the economy, local industries, and left feeling like we really had an understanding of the history of the region. She also shared lived experiences, which made everything feel very real and in context.
The waterfalls were busy and touristy, but beautiful- had a dip in icy waters and a great iced coffee.
Mostar was lovely- the old town very pretty and great architecture. It was also very busy ( we went in peak tourist season) , but we took our guide’s recommendation of what foods to try and ate downstairs in a place called Urban- we had a full meat sharing course with 5 different traditional dishes, a traditional salad, amazing bread, baklava and traditional fig bread for dessert, and some local wine and Bosnian coffee. The view from there was beautiful, everyone very welcoming and friendly, and it was also cool and misted with water spray!!
Be prepared for a long day, but it was great.

A must see! - Excellent tour with informative guide, Maria & lovely friendly driver. Great team! Had adequate time at key locations. Interesting hearing about the politics and history of Croatia and Bosnia. Would recommend. Plenty of rest breaks. Things to note are the 6am start time (not 7am) and 12 hour day (not 10).

Unmissable but to do out of season - Long day (pick-up from the hotel in Cavtat at 6 a.m. and return at 8 p.m.) but very interesting.
During the trip, the guide "promotes" the places to visit and gives a short lesson in the history of Bosnia-Herzegovina and relations between Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks.
The waterfalls are a heavenly place and swimming is for those who are less cold (water at 16-17°).
Mostar is a magnificent city, it's a shame that it is so difficult to navigate the streets because of the number of tourists.
I highly recommend this visit out of season, when there are fewer tourists and the temperature is lower.
The food is excellent but the 3 hours are a little tight to really take the time to eat and visit the city.

Such a shame - To start,do not believe the start time if travelling from Cavtat. Even though it clearly stated an 0700 pick up from our hotel,it was 0600. We were on the small group tour. The guide was friendly and organised. On the way she suggested we had a bit less time in Mostar and a bit more at the waterfalls. As no one on the bus knew any different we went with the suggestion. I advise if you do the tour,have longer in Mostar and a lot less at the falls ( see comments below). We thought Mostar old town was lovely with a lot of history and the guide was very informative. However,he walked so far in front of the group that at times we lost him in the crowds of people. But,by the time the tour finished,and a quick lunch,we had to rush back to the bus giving no time at all to investigate the town further. We arrived at the falls,which are fantastic. But the beauty of the falls is totally spoiled by the bars,restaurants , loud music and people doing the conga to make it worth spending more than 15 minutes there. In summary,travel very well organised,but given the length of the day,13 hours, we would not recommend this tour unless you are much,much closer.
