Mostar Free Walking Tour

FAQs

How long are the tours?

Sheva’s Original Free Walking Tour of Mostar and the Mostar’s Urban Landscape Free Walking Tour generally takes just over 2 hours; however, because we are open to questions and discussion, sometimes tours can continue a bit longer!

Our Private and Group Walking Tours of Mostar can be tailored for your interests and needs. These custom experiences can last between 1 - 4 hours to suit your desires. We are also able to package walking tours and hands on experiences together in order to create a one of a kind visit during your time in Mostar, be it an hour or multiple days. Contact us for more information.

Do I need to book in advance?

For our Free Walking Tours, booking in advance is appreciated but not required! If you are a group of 8 or more persons, please let us know in advance. If your group is large enough, we will set up an additional Free Walking Tour for you. We will always be at the meeting point at the scheduled time whether or not guests have booked in advance. Rain or Shine!

For Private and Group Walking Tours, booking in advance is required. We will work with you to schedule a convenient time and meeting point for your tour. We are happy to tailor a tour to fit your particular needs and interests.

Do you offer Private Walking Tours?

Yes! If you prefer a Private or Group Walking Tour and would like to make an arrangement in advance, please contact us. For more information and pricing for our different tours, please see information listed under Private Tours. We are also happy to customize any of our tours according to your interests and group size! Group rates are available.

Can children join tours? Do you have children’s prices for the private tours?

Yes, we think walking tours are a great way for children to engage with a new place. Keep in mind that we do discuss the recent wars, so you may want to consider this if you plan on bringing your children with you on the tour. The War(s) Tour will go in more depth on this topic than the Free Walking Tour.

Children under the age of 12 are free on our private tours. Children ages 12 – 17, accompanied by parents or guardians, are half price.

Can you accommodate school or educational groups?

Yes! We believe our tours can be a powerful educational tool. If you would like to arrange a tour for your group, please contact us directly and we will work with you to arrange an appropriate tour and special group pricing.

How much should I tip?

Our Free Walking Tours are entirely tip-based. You pay only what you feel your experience walking with us is worth and what you can afford. We receive a wide range of tips and in a variety of currencies. We aim to provide you a quality experience, but one that is accessible to all travelers, regardless of their budget.

How can I share group pictures from the tour?

We love sharing pictures of our tour groups on social media! Send us your pictures and we will post them for you, complete with a shout out to you on our page. If you prefer, you can also add pictures to our Trip Advisor page from your personal account or tag us from your personal page!

Can I record the tour?

At Sheva Walking Tours, we like to maintain transparency. You are welcome to record the tour; however, we ask that you notify/ask us prior to the tour. This is common courtesy and standard practice for researchers, journalists, and bloggers. More importantly, our guests may not want to be recorded and we feel it is respectful to give them the ability to decline audio and/or visual recording.

Where can I leave a review?

You can leave a review in a number of places: Trip Advisor, Facebook, Google Business, and FreeTour.com as well as other booking platforms. At the conclusion of the tour, we will give you a business card that makes leaving a review fast and easy. Thanks for the reviews – we appreciate it!

What currencies do you take?

The local currency is Konvertible Mark (KM). ATMs are located throughout town and there is an exchange kiosk in Kujundziluk. Currently, we are cash-only, but for your convenience, we are working on taking major credit and debit cards for the future.

Do I need to bring anything to the tour?

Because Herzegovina summers can be hot, we recommend a bottle of water and hat. Be sure to wear sturdy walking shoes and don’t forget your camera! While winter’s are relatively mild, the Mostarian wind can chill the bones! Be sure to bundle up appropriately for winter tours and wear water proof shoes during heavy rains.
