Small Group, Split Or Trogir

Small Group, Split or Trogir, 12 hours, rated 4.7 across 1,260 traveller reviews.

Overview

This day trip packs three Bosnian and Herzegovinian stops into one long outing from Split, Trogir or Omiš, with the full circuit running about 12 hours. A coach handles the border crossing and the driving, roughly two and a half hours each way, while a local guide leads a walking tour of Mostar's Old Town and points out the rest along the route.

The usual order runs Počitelj first, a preserved Ottoman-era hillside town above the Neretva river, with a short break for photos and a wander. Then Mostar, where a guided walk through the Old Town and the Stari Most area is followed by roughly three hours of free time. Travellers can use that gap for lunch, coffee or shopping in the traditional bazaar. The last stop is Kravica waterfall, with about 75 minutes to swim, sit by the water or just look, before the drive back.

It suits people based in Split or Trogir who want a first taste of Bosnia and Herzegovina without arranging border logistics themselves. Reviewers repeatedly describe the crossing as smooth, and several also praise the guides' knowledge of the country's history. Anyone wanting a slow, unhurried day in one place should look at a single-destination tour instead.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points shape how this day goes, from cash fees at the border to how much walking is involved.

• Passport and cash. A valid passport is mandatory for the border, plus any visa your nationality requires. Bring 15 EUR in cash per person on top of the booking: 10 EUR for the Kravica entry fee and 5 EUR for the border crossing fee. Both are payable in cash only.
• Pace and walking. The day involves a guided walking tour in Mostar plus free wandering, and a walk at Kravica. Several reviewers said the pacing felt reasonable and unhurried, though a few wanted more time in Mostar after the guided portion. Comfortable shoes are on the list for a reason.
• Swimming at Kravica. The listing suggests swimwear and a towel, and swimming at Kravica is possible depending on conditions and time. With about 75 minutes on site, there is room for a quick dip rather than a long swim session.
• Border waits. Many reviewers found the crossing smooth and quick. One traveller noted the wait can be lengthy if other coaches arrive at the same time, so build some flexibility into any evening plans.
• Food and drink. Meals and drinks are not included. The listing suggests using the free time in Mostar for a traditional Bosnian lunch or coffee.
• Meeting point varies. The exact meeting point depends on the option selected when booking, and pickup is not included. Check the booking page for the specific location and arrive 15 minutes early. One reviewer starting in Trogir was transferred to Split and taxied back afterwards, arrangements the operator made.

Common issues. Time is the recurring complaint. Some travellers felt the Mostar free time ran shorter than expected after the guided walk, and the listing's own review summary notes the Kravica stop often feels rushed to some visitors. One reviewer felt the first stop at Počitelj was unnecessary and would have skipped it, and one reported border waits varying with other coach traffic. Extra cash costs of 15 EUR per person are not in the tour price. The itinerary may also shift slightly with traffic, weather and local conditions, and pets are not allowed on the tour.
