June 9, 2021 Velvet Champine

Mostar (Serbo-Croatian pronunciation: [mǒstaːr]) is a city and municipality in southern Bosnia and Herzegovina. Inhabited by 105,797 people, it is the most important city in the Herzegovina region, its cultural capital, and the center of the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton of the Federation. Mostar is situated on the Neretva River and is the fifth-largest city in the country. Mostar was named after the bridge keepers (mostari) who in the medieval times guarded the Stari Most (Old Bridge) over the Neretva. The Old Bridge, built by the Ottomans in the 16th century, is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most recognizable landmarks, and is considered one of the most exemplary pieces of Islamic architecture in the Balkans.

Ivo was a wonderful tour guide. We contacted him late at night the day before we wanted to do the tour and he was so helpful and accommodating. Ivo is an excellent tour guide with exceptional knowledge and interesting stories. We would recommend him to anyone wanting to do a tour in or around Dubrovnik.

My 18 year old daughter and I had the privilege of spending an afternoon with Vedad on the Bosnian War tour. We were so very impressed with Vedad's ability to remain objective despite personal lived experience as a young child in the war. He shared some personal stories, spoke about the history of the region as well as the current political state, and expressed hope for the future. He was incredibly knowledgeable and invited questions and dialogue. This tour advanced my perspective and I am truly grateful for the gifts Vedad gave through his passion, humanity, and hope. Best to you as always Vedad...K and A

We booked a small group tour but since we were the only two people booked on this day (the perks of traveling off-season!), we inadvertently got a private tour for the price of a shared tour. The entire day was enjoyable without being too tiring since the driving distances are short. Our guide was Esmer, who was really knowledgeable, sweet, and flexible. It’s undoubtedly a good idea to book in advance if you’re visiting Mostar in the summertime when their tours are far more popular. We got to spend time in Blagaj, explore Počitelj (which turned out to be our favorite stop!) and see Kravice Waterfalls. Since we went during the winter, we couldn't swim, but the falls were nearly empty and peaceful so it was still worthwhile. At the end of the tour, Esmer took us to the hills surrounding Mostar and taught us all about the events of the war in Mostar. It was one of the most informative tours we took in the country. I highly recommend the company. They were very professional, our day was beautiful and memorable, and we had some flexibility on our tour since it was just us.

A person with passion for his work. I think this is the best description for the guide. He has a very deep knowledge about the history of Sarajevo and Bosnia. We were more than satisfied with his guidance. I especially thank him because he was very attentive to the corona measures.

We went on a walking tour with Emir, “Experience with Local, feel like a local”. We didn’t go to one museum or church/mosque and didn’t even go to the old bridge, but feel like we know the city, understand the history and what the people think, do and want. Emir’s sharing of his family’s personal experiences during the Last War were stirring and helped us understand what the city and its people went through. Emir greeted and introduced us to many of his friends as we toured the city and we had coffee at his neighborhood cafe/bar. We highly recommend this walking tour with Emir if he’s available.
