Four Pearls, Fees Included

Four Pearls, Fees Included, 12 hours, rated 4.9 across 1,327 traveller reviews.

Overview

This twelve-hour day trip from Sarajevo strings together five of Herzegovina's headline stops in one run: Konjic, the Blagaj tekija, the historic site of Počitelj, Kravica waterfall, and Mostar with its Stari Most. The 08:00 start makes for a long day, but reviewers repeatedly say the pacing works, with free time built in at most stops and commentary on the bus between them.

The route is a practical answer for anyone based in Sarajevo who wants to see the Neretva valley without hiring a car. Bottled water and a brunch of chicken sandwiches, with a vegetarian option on request, are carried on board, and the vehicle is air-conditioned. Entrance to Kravica waterfall and the Blagaj monastery is covered if that option is selected at booking; lunch is not included, and one reviewer described eating at a restaurant in Mostar's old town during the free time there.

It suits people comfortable with a full day of driving broken up by walking stops. Groups run up to thirty travellers, and the drop-off is at the Sarajevo old town office or Mostar old town, with hotel drop-off available on request for an extra fee.

What To Expect From The Tour

A day this full rewards a little preparation, and both the listing and the reviews point to the same practical details.

• Long day, good pacing. Twelve hours door to door. Several travellers said the day passes quickly because the stops are well spaced and there is free time at each one.
• Brunch, not lunch. A chicken sandwich brunch with a vegetarian option on request is provided on board. Lunch is not included, so plan to buy it at one of the stops.
• Comfortable shoes. The day involves walking at each stop, with free time to explore places like Mostar's old town. Comfortable footwear makes the walking segments easier.
• Cash for extras. Entrance fees for Kravica waterfall and the Blagaj tekija are only covered if selected in the payment options, and lunch and personal expenses are excluded. Budget separately for anything beyond what the listing includes.
• Group size and guide. The tour runs with up to thirty travellers and may be led by a multi-lingual guide. Reviewers often mention guides who give history on the bus and then leave time to explore independently.
• Families and access. Pushchairs are fine, infant seats are available, and service animals are allowed, but the tour is not wheelchair accessible.

Common issues. It is a long day with several hours of driving, though one reviewer said it never felt too tiring and others found the pacing well managed. The group can be large, up to thirty travellers, so it is not a small-group experience. Entrance fees and lunch cost extra unless the fee option is selected at booking, and hotel drop-off carries an additional charge. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, and cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before the 08:00 start for a full refund.
