I honestly cannot express how lucky we were to have a guide like Asim. I will try to picture our day to every one of you reading this comment. I booked Mostar tour via e-mail due to positive comments on TripAdvisor. They replied shortly and we agreed to be picked up at the address. Asim was sharp on time! He introduced himself, and gave us a small bag containing bottle of water and small traditional sweets so we can start our journey with a smile (that is what he said). He was very polite and talkative. We made first stop in Konjic where I saw the bridge that divides Herzegovina from Bosnia. He that took us to local place where they sell pie. He explained that this is a MUST place for Bosnian people going towards sea. I had “Zelanica” – (pie made out of spinach and cheese) and it was AMAZING. All this in first 2 hours. Our next place was Pocitelj- old fortified city. We hiked all the way up the fortress to burn our late breakfast and enjoy the view at Neretva valley. After Pocitelj we headed towards Blagaj- place of Dervish house and beautiful river Buna. After visiting Blagaj, Asim said that he has surprise for us, and asked me if we liked fish. I replied positive, so we went to gorgeous small restaurant right next to the bank of river Buna. We had local fish and it was delicious! Fully fed we arrived in Mostar and I understood why he left it as last destination! Mostar is stunning! He even “pulled some strings” with his friend working at the Muslim mosque to give us “student” discount on the ticket so we can see the bridge from minaret. Close to Sarajevo he stopped at one place and bought Tulumba? – sugary sweet and gave it to us, and said that we can end our journey with a smile (he obviously like sweets). Thank you Asim once again! I will remember our time spent together! If you come to Germany I will be your personal guide! P.S. ASK FOR ASIM!
Perfectt tour for everyone who wants to know more about this part of the world. Everyone

When in Bosnia earlier this past July (2017), I took the Mostar & Herzegovina Cities tour with Emina. I never spend money on tours like this (I'm very much a DIY type traveler) but I don't regret it for a second. Emina was a great guide!! She never rushed us and shared a lot of information, mostly about modern Bosnia (which I was particularly interested in learning about).
We literally spent the WHOLE DAY exploring Bosnia. In planning the tour, she was very clear and communicative via text and picked us up from the hostel and dropped us back there at night; super convenient. The sites & cities we visited were BEAUTIFUL, and she customized the order of the tour so we could avoid crowds as much as possible (definitely a maaajor plus in my book). She's a good, safe driver and her car was very comfortable. The places we stopped at for food were tasty and very reasonably priced. She even planned a walk across Sarajevo for me to do on my own the next day, which I did and loved :)
I genuinely enjoyed not only the tour, but spending the day with her! Thanks Emina!!!
I worked 32 years and retired in Tourism Bussiness and now travel with my wife every year a part of Europe.
It was our dream to visit Mostar and we flight to Sarajevo from istanbul and booked nice apartment for a few days in this great country.
First day we search in town who may organie a trip for us to Mostar, Konjic, Blagaj, Pocitelj and Kravica falls are all highlights of Herzegovina. We were sure it would be difficult to see all them and come back to Sarajevo but we want to join this trip a lot. We visit Dream Balkan office and Asım was there give us full information and book us a trip next day morning private car and driver as or dream and Turkish language guide service it was my wife dream because she prefer this a lot to underdtand all in our mother language.
Apointment time was 8 am in front of our apartment and just on time We meet our guide İbrahim Puscar and his smily face with warm welcome. He is young, so friendly, full informative about our day how we fallow the route step by step together and he makes us to belive it will be for us one of the great day in our life.
And he did. End of the day we find out more what we respect and we were so happy to buy this trip Dream Balkan and thanks God that our guide was Ibrahim.
What he explain us about History and places bring us even more close to understanding the region. We saw in our eyes how big climate diffirents even 2 hours drive distance in Bosnia
What we did today with our guide
We discover the magnificent UNESCO World Heritage site of Mostar's old town and takes a lot of pictures.
In Blagaj, we saw the Dervish Monestery and listen stories and see,smell, fell the River Buna's source.
We stop over the historic town of Pocitelj walk on stone roads watch amazing panoramic view.
We felt on our face the Kravice waterfalls and get our luch break with music of waterfalls.
Today we feed up our soul with nature and history.
Thank you very much Ibrahim
