Discover Herzegovina, 8 Hours

Discover Herzegovina, 8 Hours, 8 hours, rated 5 across 1,058 traveller reviews.

Overview

This eight-hour loop from Mostar bundles the four stops most visitors to Herzegovina want: Fortica Hill, Blagaj, Počitelj, and roughly two hours at Kravica waterfall. You ride between them in an air-conditioned minivan with a local guide giving live commentary on board. Pickup and drop-off are included, starting at 8:00 AM from the Old Orange Bus on Bulevar, and the day finishes back at the same spot.

The guides come in for praise again and again in traveller reviews, which repeatedly describe them as knowledgeable and say the history, politics and culture of Bosnia and Herzegovina were explained in a way that made the stops mean more. One reviewer mentioned on-board snacks as a nice touch.

It suits travellers who want the essentials of Herzegovina in one day without hiring a car, and who like their sightseeing with a running history lesson attached. Free time is built in for lunch, either in Počitelj or at the waterfall, with halal, vegetarian and vegan options available.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical things shape the day, from what to pack to how the group feels on the road.

• What to bring. The listing recommends water, sunscreen, a swimsuit and towel, and comfortable walking shoes. Warmer clothing is suggested for travel outside the summer months.
• Group size. The listing caps the tour at 35 travellers, so expect a coach-load rather than a private outing. One reviewer said there was no wasted time at stops, but it is a shared, scheduled day.
• Guide commentary.
• Pace and time. Each stop gets a set window, from 30 minutes at Fortica Hill to two hours at the falls. One reviewer said there was no wasted time at stops and a return early enough for an early dinner.
• Food and drink. Meals are not included. Free time for lunch comes either in Počitelj around midday or at Kravica waterfall later, and the listing notes halal, vegetarian and vegan options.
• Weather and season. The tour runs in all weather conditions, so dress appropriately. The listing suggests packing warmer clothing if you are travelling in the pre- or post-summer season.

Common issues. The entrance fee for Kravica waterfall is not included, at 10€ per person, and food, drinks and gratuities are extra. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, and infants must sit on laps. The operator requires a minimum number of travellers and can cancel for weather; in either case you are offered a different date or a full refund. One reviewer reported a group much larger than advertised, so if group size matters to you it is worth confirming the expected headcount before booking. Another mentioned a vehicle breakdown, an isolated incident rather than a pattern.
