Free Tour, All In One

Free Tour, All in One, 1 hour 30 minutes, rated 4.68 across 134 traveller reviews.

Overview

Every evening at 6pm, iHouse Travel runs a free walking tour of Mostar that packs the Old Town, the bridges and the Neretva river into an hour and a half. The walk is bookable through GuruWalk and follows the pay what you want model: nothing is charged up front, and guests tip the guide at the end based on what they felt the walk was worth.

The route moves through the Old Town and across Stari Most, the Old Bridge, then along Kujundžiluk, the old copper street, pausing at the Crooked Bridge and the Tabhana quarter before returning to the bridge itself. Along the way the guide covers the city's history, including an introduction to the Yugoslav wars on Marshal Tito street, plus street art, park stops and the panorama of Stari Most from Lučki Bridge.

A large part of the value is practical. Guides point out where to find good burek, ćevapi, Bosnian coffee and crafted beer, and the walk also takes in the street art of Mostar and Aleksa Šantić Park. It suits travellers who want orientation, history and food recommendations in a single short walk.

What To Expect From The Tour

• Food tips en route. The guide gives hints on the best street food, coffee houses and Bosnian delights, including where to find burek, ćevapi, Bosnian coffee and crafted beer. These are recommendations to take away rather than tastings built into the route.

Common issues. The listing notes that the booking page shows only the first 3 of the route's 6 stops, so the full itinerary is longer than what appears there. Pickup is not included, so you make your own way to the meeting point in front of the iHouse Travel office. No reviews were available to confirm how large the groups typically run or how often the 6pm departure fills up in peak season.
