An In-Depth Look at the Experience

This trip is designed to be a satisfying snapshot of Bosnia-Herzegovina’s Herzegovina region, especially for those based in Dubrovnik. The journey begins with a convenient pickup—just provide your accommodation name, and you’ll be collected nearby, either at your hotel or a designated spot. This ease of access is a real bonus, especially in a city where parking and navigating can be tricky.

The Scenic Drive and First Impressions

Once on the road, you’ll enjoy a scenic drive through Herzegovina, with views that set the tone for the day. The landscape is dotted with rolling hills, lush greenery, and small villages, offering a taste of rural life just across the border. This part of the journey is more than just a commute; it’s an introduction to the untouched charm of the region.

Mostar: The Historical Heart of the Tour

Mostar is the first major stop. Its Old Town is small but packed with character. Here, a local guide takes you under the iconic Old Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage site that’s both a marvel of Ottoman architecture and a symbol of resilience after war. We loved the way guides shared stories about the bridge’s history, its destruction, and rebuilding—adding depth beyond just photos.

You get about an hour for the guided tour, which covers the best viewpoints and historical context. Then, you’re free for two hours—giving you time to wander the cobbled streets, sip a coffee at a local café, browse shops, or enjoy a budget-friendly lunch. Many reviews praise the delicious food options, especially the classic “evapi”—grilled meat served with bread and condiments, often costing about 4 euros, making it a tasty and affordable local treat.

Kravice Waterfalls: Nature’s Hidden Gem

After soaking in Mostar’s charm, the tour heads to the Kravice Waterfalls—a true highlight. These cascading waterfalls are a stunning sight, especially after a scenic drive through countryside. You’ll have about an hour to walk around, snap photos, or swim beneath the waterfalls if you arrive prepared with your swimwear.

Travelers consistently mention how breathtaking Kravice is. One reviewer described it as a “stunning but freezing cold” spot, so packing a towel and warm clothes for after swimming is wise. Expect a pebbly path, so comfortable shoes are recommended, especially for the walk around the falls.
