Blagaj

Old town Blagaj is a place where history, religion, and one of a kind nature mix together in a mystic-spiced combination. A Dervish house carved into a breathtaking cliff in the 16th century is a place where you can catch the bright sun, the blue sky, and freshwater from Buna spring, which is among the strongest springs in Europe.

Buna channel

Buna channel is a place where the river Buna flows into the river Neretva. A place where the blue-green beauty of the Neretva passes through a narrow natural channel created a thousand years ago. At the confluence of the Buna and the Neretva, nature offers the greatest splendor of colors, a combination of water, greenery, and stone. The scene is different every time, depending on the season and the amount of water in the canal.

Počitelj

Medieval stone town Počitelj is built in the 14th century by the order of Bosnian king Tvrtko. Often referred to as Bosnia and Herzegovina’s ‘open-air museum’, its location in a natural karst amphitheater on the bank of the Neretva river is both stunning and strategic. Along with its stunning oriental architecture and Ottoman feel, in Pocitelj you can always enjoy eating figs, grapes, pomegranates, and other various organic fruit.

Amazing day trip in Mostar This day trip with Esmer (our tour guide)is definitely the highlight of my entire trip in BH, informative and interesting. He shared with personal experience of the war, and his stories are very touching. A building is no longer just a building, a mountain is no longer just a mountain, and a river is no longer just a river. You can feel his deep love for his nation and people. I have a lot of respect for him.

Amazing day tour with Esmer This is one of the best day tours I’ve done. The views were breath-taking. Our guide Esmer was very friendly and also professional. Along the tour not only did Esmer explain to us so much about the places we are visiting, he also shared his personal story about the war. The tour is very educational, informative and meaningful.

Highly recommend! This was an excellent tour - not only do you get a run down of the history of Mostar, the guide shares very personal and real experiences from the war. He is very knowledgeable, personable and shares insights we would never otherwise know. Highly recommended!

Memorable day with Esmer This is probably one of the best tours I've experienced. It's a combination of war history, stories, & sightseeing. It gives you a chance to enjoy the sights in between learning a bit of BiH's history, especially what happened during the Bosnian War in 1992-1995, as well as insights into the personal experience of our guide, Esmer, during the war.The sights such as Blagaj and Pocitelj were fantastic, and they're absolutely worth the visit. But what really made the tour in our small group is Esmer, our highly knowledgeable & passionate guide. He even gave us a bag of fruits to snack on during the tour, and then after our stop at Kravice Waterfalls, he prepared some refreshing sage drink for us. This is one of the those trips I'll remember, not just for the sights, but for Esmer's passionate story-telling. Highly recommended!

Amazing history lesson Our guide, Esmer, was fantastic and so knowledgeable. He gave us historical and detailed information which greatly increased our understanding of Bosnia Herzegovina and the old history as well as the events of the war on the early 1990s. We are truly grateful for his personal sharing as well.

Amazing day with Esmer We went on a tour with Esmer and 2 other couples. We had an amazing time from start to finish, with Esmer being incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. We learnt so much in a short space of time through Esmer's teachings, including talking about the war and important moments during the war.The sights themselves were also incredible. It really shows just how beautiful Bosnia and Herzegovina really is! We especially loved Počitelj - a lovely little village with so much character to explore.We highly recommend a tour with Mostar Tour Agency. Everything was brilliant from start to finish, and the small touches (like a whole bag of delicious fruit given to us by Esmer) really topped it off. Thank you for a great day!
