Kudos to the team, top guides, especially Miran aka. Stija. As far as I understand, tours are generally in foreign languages since a lot of people who go on tours don't speak Serbo-Croatian. I guess my mother and I are the only ladies in the Balkans who don't drive a car, so we decided to do the tour instead of renting a car. :'D We booked the Blagaj - Žitomislići - Počitelj - Kravice tour; which is a daily tour that lasts approx. from 9 am to 4 pm. In the end, we got Miran as a driver who is a living legend! An interesting life story, excellent knowledge of the region he is taking us through, and top-notch communication raised the level of this tour to a perfect ten! As for the destinations themselves, the driver/guide will take you to the location, explain something about the history and significance of the sights, and then you will have 45 minutes - 60 minutes of free time for sightseeing. A little more on Kravice, since it takes time to cool off in that cold water from the massive heat! In the end, Miran really stepped up to meet us, since our idea was to jump on the train from Mostar to Sarajevo, and since it was quite late, he dropped us off in Čapljina. Thank God there was a gentleman there who said the train was late, because Miran again stepped up to meet us and dropped us off at the bus station in Mostar. So, definitely huge pluses: flexibility, friendliness, communication, and positive energy! Highly recommended and thanks once again to Stija for the assistance and help! :)
Everything very well organized, enough free time in the places and the guide Mark was super friendly and open to answering difficult questions.
The trip was very informative and all details were well planned (drop off at the top of the historic site instead of the bottom, monasteries first waterfall last, good timing of action/free time, a nice blend of culture, history and nature). I would highly recommend it.
The tour takes you to Blagaj, Pocitej, Kravice falls, with a short stop at the Žitomislić Monastery. After a short introduction at each stop, we are given some free time to explore the places. Our guide Marko is exceptional. He is funny, energetic and always taking care of the group.
Marko gave us a brilliant tour through Herzegovina with his witty remarks and dry humour! We had an amazing time, good amounts of time at each destination - especially in the heat of today! Breathtaking views of the countryside and such insight into the history of the region thanks to Marko’s superb knowledge and storytelling craft. Safe driving was definitely a plus, made us feel very comfortable. Highly recommended :)
We booked this tour at the last minute, and we are so incredibly glad we did. We truly enjoyed the entire experience! The sites were absolutely great, and we were given plenty of time to explore each stop without feeling rushed.A massive shoutout to our guides, Sedat and Marco. We rode in the car with Sedat, and he honestly made the entire trip so much better. He is incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much fascinating information about the history of the country and the region, as well as the local food and culture. He really elevated the whole experience for us. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!
Excellent organization, very engaging story telling, the views and history around Blagaj and Pocitelj are amazing and, of course, the waterfalls are stunning!
We had a great time on this tour. Marko was super informative and kept everything moving on time. The stops were well chosen and there was plenty of time to explore each location.
This was a fantastic experience and a good chance to see some great sights. Marko and Vanessa explained everything in excellent English, answered all our questions and made the trip interesting and enjoyable. Would highly recommend.
Vanessa was a wonderful tour guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable of the area she took us too. She always balanced history with humour which was a great approach. I loved how she ended the trip with a song from Mostar Sevdah Reunion, I really appreciated her explaining the meaning of the band and song too. As for the tour itself, the van was comfortable and the air conditioning was needed in 38C heat. Vanessa's tour of Blagaj tekija was excellent. Personally, I would have appreciated 15 minutes longer here to really absorbe the tranquility. Vanessa's approach to our tour of Počitelj was outstanding, dropping us at the top in the heat really helped. Especially in the gruelling midday sun. I was lovely to walk down instead of up! Anyone visiting needs to buy the pomegranate juice - exceptional. Kravica was beautiful, but I did not feel 2 hours was enough. Especially when so busy. Unfortunately, the crowds cannot be planned for in advance but perhaps the tour could build in some flexibility on crowded days. Ending our trip in Žitomislić Monastry with its history was wonderful. So beautiful and peaceful. If the monks do build a restaurant here in the stable, it would be a beautiful place to end the tour with a group meal and some wine. Thank you for a magical day. I was in awe of Herzegovina and would 100% recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the highlights whilst understanding some local history.
