Overview of your Dubrovnik tour

Mostar, a city renowned for its cultural and religious variety and sadly violent recent past. A Place where East meets the West. Walk the iconic Mostar bridge, which gave city its name, ("most" is Croatian for "bridge") and still separates the Muslim and Christian sides of town, take a look of small bridge „Kriva cuprija", the Koski Mehmed Pasa Mosque, buy souvenirs at the famous Bazar, and enjoy a delicious Bosnian tradition called cevapi for lunch. A few short kilometers from Mostar lies the magnificent karstic spring of river Buna. Blagaj is settled beneath few hundred meters high rock under which river Buna comes out. There we will visit a sixteenth-century "tekija", or Dervish Monastery and learn about pre or early Ottoman era in Hercegovina and also visit the unique spring of the river Buna. Pocitelj a fortified Otoman village and fort from the 15th century.

Matija was responsive and flexible and tailored everything to our needs. He is also great fun. Really enjoyed it.

Trip was great. Don’t eat too much at the breakfast/bakery stop (the pastries were amazing) because the lunch is a Bosnian feast and you will want to be hungry to try everything. We used Matija for Montenegro as well. Use advice to leave early for smooth border crossings.

Matija has a great sense of humor and was very timely— we had a beautiful drive to Mostar and an effortless lunch during a crowded day in town. He gave us great advice, including a little hidden coffee shop that was a delight. Loved our visit to Mostar and had a great time with Matija as our host.

Having Mat host our ten hour all day tour to Mostar was a great experience in that he is an attentive, experienced driver and accomplished conversationalist. He had entertaining anecdotes to share along the way and we felt safe and comfortable with him navigating borders and the various sites we visited. Croatia is truly a beautiful coastal country that should be visited in depth outside of the great walled city of Dubrovnik.

Great tour, Great guide! We throughly enjoyed our tour with Matija. He showed us the sights, told us the history of each sight & kept us laughing while doing it. We will absolutely pick Matija as our guide next time we come to Dubrovnik!

The drive was beautiful, the stops lovely, and Mostar was everything we hoped it would. Seeing the bridge was a dream come true. And Matija was absolutely delightful. Interesting conversation never lagged. We had a wonderful time.

Your Dubrovnik tour itinerary

Upon pick up at your accommodation/cruise ship, I will take you on unique journey into land of cultural diversities. -Our first stop is coffee, breakfast or just a restroom stop in Neum. After that we are heading to Pocitelj where we will have a walk through the village and the castle. Next stop is Blagaj-a place where history, religion, and one of kind nature mixes together in a mystic spiced combination where we will walk to the spring of the river Buna. - Drive towards Mostar lasts 30min and we will pull over in west Mostar and from there we will take walk through the old town. - During our walk you will see "Kriva cuprija" small bridge, Old bridge and Koski Mehmed Pasa's Mosque. - An hour of free time is planned before having a traditional lunch in a local restaurant. After enjoying our fantastic meal we are leaving Mostar and heading back to Dubrovnik filled with impressions
