Fortica And Countryside Day Trip

Fortica and Countryside Day Trip, 8 hours, rated 5 across 23 traveller reviews.

Overview

This full-day outing from Mostar packs five Herzegovina stops into 8 hours, travelling in an air-conditioned vehicle with a local guide. The loop runs from the heights of Fortica above the city down to the Buna spring at Blagaj, along the Bunski Kanali stretch of the river, into the walled stone town of Počitelj, and finishes at Kravica waterfall. Along the way the guide covers the history of the region, and reviewers say the commentary stays interesting without taking over the day.

The group is capped at 7 travellers, and reviewers repeatedly describe the day as personal and relaxed rather than rushed. Several say they never felt rushed and had plenty of time at each stop.

It suits travellers who want the big Herzegovina highlights in one day without hiring a car, and it works for solo travellers as well as couples and small parties, based on the mixed groups reviewers describe. Note that breakfast and lunch are not included, and entry to two of the stops is paid separately, so plan food and cash around the stops.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will make the day easier.

• Swimming at Kravica. Kravica waterfall is the final stop of the day and entry is not included in the tour price. One reviewer mentioned swimming there, so consider bringing swimwear if the season suits it.
• Full day out. The tour runs for 8 hours in total across five stops. Several reviewers describe the day as a highlight of their trip to the region.
• Small group feel. The tour runs with a maximum of 7 travellers. Reviews describe groups of four, six and seven, and say the small size makes it easy to ask questions and get to know the guide.
• Food and drink. Breakfast and lunch are not included, so eat before pickup and plan for a meal during the day.
• Free time at stops. The day mixes guided commentary with self-guided exploration. Several reviewers say they never felt rushed and could linger at each place as long as they wanted.
• Cash for entries. Admission to Blagaj tekija and Kravica waterfall is not included in the tour price. Bring money for these entries on the day.

Common issues. The tour is not wheelchair accessible. Entry fees at Blagaj and Kravica are extra, as are breakfast and lunch, so the headline price is not the full cost of the day. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund, and no refund is given inside that window.
