Highlights
- Dubrovnik - Start with a pickup from your central Dubrovnik hotel, and set out by luxury vehicle to discover Bosnia and Herzegovina with your private driver.
- Mostar - Explore the Old Town of Mostar and visit the iconic Old Bridge surrounded by Ottoman-style architecture.
- Sarajevo - In the early afternoon, arrive in beautiful Sarajevo
- Bosnia’s capital city that boasts village-like charm and rich history. Mosques built by the Ottoman Turks sit alongside buildings created by the Austro Hungarians, and the city is often referred to as a living history museum. Despite the relatively recent 1990s conflict, the city bears surprisingly few physical reminders of its war-torn past
- a sign perhaps, of the city’s desire to move on and welcome visitors with open arms!
When you are ready, return to Dubrovnik and finish right back at your hotel.

Great trip to Bosnia & Herzegovina - Mostar old town was a beautiful place to visit with gorgeous craft items for sale and a lot of luxury brands knock offs. Sarajevo reminded us a lot of Istanbu. we were able to get authentic lokum and great local cuisine. The burek at Sač was amazing. The biggest surprise was the amazing beauty of the Bosnia & Herzegovina countryside. Our guide Nenad was excellent. He was very personable and willing to tailor the tour to our wants and needs. He entertained us with jokes and local "sayings" and educated us about Bosnia & Herzegovina. His nimble driving got us to and from our destination quickly and safely.

Worthwile trip to Bosnia & Herzegovina - Amazing tour. Me and my family were the only one in the tour and the tour guide/driver Marin was amazing. He took us to Mostar and Sarajevo. On the way, he gave history of the area and was very friendly. He gave us enough time at each location to walk around, eat food and recommended the places to visit in the area. We went during start of peak season, so we were lucky at the border crossing and there were no lines. I heard that during peak season, there are long delays at the border crossings. Weather was perfect - not to hot and it stopped raining after we started from Dubrovnik. Overall, amazing road trip to Mostar snd Sarajevo except for the long drive, it is worth experiencing.

A safe competent driver. He also took the time to recommend and buy some local food for us in Sarajevp. A long day but well worth it with bonus time in Mostar. Well done Ivan credit to your profession</p>

He was extremely knowledgable on any subject, making sure we received a full breadth of history about the region. Discussing the food traditions, wine making, fruit growing, making sure we tasted the specialties in the area like Burek, Chevarpi and of course the war. We had free time to discover Sarajevo. All this in a comfortable car too.<br/>
I would highly recommend this tour! It was excellent!</p>

We unfortunately got stuck in line at the border. This further delayed things by an hour. It was great to stop in Mostar for a quick tour and look. We drove directly to Sarajevo and met with the local tour. The tour was very good but it was fast as we wanted to get through things in order to hit the road to get home. Sarejevo really just gave us the downtown highlights. I think doing an overnight in Sarajevo would be better. Great to see, but the tour was just too rushed!</p>

The two guides - one from Dubrovnik and the other in Sarejevo were very knowledgeable and had interesting stories to tell,. In particular my guide in Sarejevo was well versed in the history and restoration of Sarejevo. He was also very considerate of my need to rest occasionally and to walk a slower pace.</p>

Was not as advertised - Was listed to include luxury tour around Sarajevo Instead the guide said you can’t see anything by vehicle and proceeded to drop us off and pick us up later—not a tour at all. He should have at least walked around with us to explain what we were seeing. Very disappointing. Won’t make that mistake again. I even showed him what the trip was advertised to include and he kind of shrugged that off and told us where he would meet us later. Did the same thing in Mostar.
