Mostar essentials - history, tradition, comunism, war

Hi, My name is Amna. I work as a licensed guide for thirteen years now. As a passionate traveler myself, who lived abroad (USA, Belgium), met different people from all over the World, I came back to my hometown and started to do what I love. It is a tour guiding job. I would like to welcome you, show you our famous city of Mostar, and its famous Old bridge, the masterpiece of Ottoman architecture and Unesco heritage. This city is also among the 8 most romantic cities in the World. Also if you like: fascinating history, architecture, a variety of good foods, good wine, sun, and beautiful nature, come to Mostar, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Please take a look on the list of the tours I offer. We can combine a visit to Mostar and Herzegovina with other beautiful places worthwhile to see. Just to remind you : WHEN YOU LOOK UP FOR THE TOURS IN HERZEGOVINA TAKE A GOOD LOOK OF WHAT kind of tour is there, open the page take a look of photo's to get an idea. THERE ARE POSSIBILITES TO COMBINE THE TOURS. If you wish to stay a few days in Bosnia, day by day customized tours can be prepared for you, with a detailed program from day one. Note:UPON REQUEST I ORGANIZE TOURS WHERE I FOLLOW YOU AS A TOURIST GUIDE-ESCORT Lots of guests want to visit Kravica waterfalls, during summer some guest like to spend whole day by the falls swimming. Also, I have guests who express a huge desire to visit Medjugorje. This is Europe's third most visited pilgrimage site after other Marian shrines of Lourdes in France and Fatima in Portugal. To remind you all these places are very close to Mostar. All my tours can be also tailor-made to accommodate your requests. You can have a very nice boat tour in Hutovo Blato, one of the most important bird reserves in Europe, or Tour going form Mostar to Sarajevo. IF YOU ARE STAYING IN SPLIT OR DUBROVNIK and you would like to visit and Mostar and Bosnia and Herzegovina just for a day, let me know and I will give to you some guidance about the one-day transfer. Anyhow, if you are in Split, or Dubrovnik, or Sarajevo we are only 2hrs and 15MIN driving time. It is the growing interest to visit Mostar, Medjugorje, Trebinje, Sarajevo, and Bosnia and Herzegovina in general, therefore I try to do my best to help you with your planning. Please note: the cost of the transfer is paid apart directly to a driver. There are no safety issues for you as far as the transfer goes, and the price is not higher than if I would come personally to take you to your accommodation. If you are coming just for one day, If you do not want transfer, the other BEST option is to hire the car and drive to here. You have a choice. EACH TOUR CAN BE ADJUSTED, CHANGED, OR COMBINED. THIS IS YOUR TOUR ONLY, THERE ARE MANY PLACES IN OUR REGION, THAT ARE WORTH SEEING! When you come once, you will wish to come back again! Welcome!!! Please remember that only the guide who is Local to the area can show you many places and deliver a genuine story about different sights. Also, I grew up in ex Yugoslavia, so, I can give you lots of interesting information about how we lived during the time of komunism. We experience problems in Bosnia lately with drivers and agencies coming from neighboring countries who bring visitors to Bosnia very often for a day, not hiring local certified guides when they come here. They offer day tours to Mostar very brief walks for instance, but in fact, most of the tour the guests spend in the car, taking short stops in certain places, like the old town of Pocitelj, or a quick stop in Kravica waterfalls and finally in Mostar the guests get a quick walk thru the Old town, a bit of free time and they are instructed to return with the excuse that might be long waiting on the border. Most drivers are introduced to you as a guide as well, and most of them are just drivers. You deserve to be treated as a guest, not just a person who will pay for someone's service! Welcome to Mostar and Bosnia and Herzegovina. "Solo" travelers are welcome, you will get the same treatment as all guests I do guiding for. For client in the wheel chair tailor-made tour is possible! -Bachelor degree :English language and literature -Librarian -Certified tour guide BIH Being a licensed guide in my region I have no restrictions.
