Hidden Herzegovina Day Tour
Journey a little further off the beaten path with this day tour that takes us on the road to Stolac, a small town locally described as a museum under open sky. Along the way, we will stop at a site that showcases stećci, monolithic tombstones dating from prior to the Ottoman arrival in the region. These compelling monuments are representative of Bosnia and Hercegovina’s medieval past and are now a celebrated UNESCO World Heritage Site shared amongst BiH, Serbia, Montenegro, and Croatia.

Once in Stolac, we will climb the meandering route up to Vidoški Grad, the remains of the Old City that overlook the picturesque valley below, the path of which can be traced by the Bregava River. Upon descending from the Old Town, we will visit the museum dedicated to the acclaimed Bosnian poet, Mak Dizdar, and delve more deeply into the mystery of stećci.
We will continue our exploration of Stolac while walking along the banks of the Bregava River, with time for a traditional lunch in beautiful surroundings. During the summer, the banks of the Bregava present an ideal place for a quick swim and in the cooler months we can enjoy the stunning views of the cultural landscape. Before our departure, we will stop at the Mehmedbašića Kuća for one our country’s “signature experiences” – enjoying traditional Fig Cakes while learning more about the beautiful town of Stolac!

“Highlight of our trip to Mostar”
“Sevko’s walking tour was the highlight of our trip to Mostar. He is incredibly knowledgable and loves to answer any and all questions about his home. Having grown up in Mostar, Sevko is able to share his personal photographs and stories to bring Mostar’s history to life for those who get the privilege of taking his tour. On top of that you can tell that he is loved by people all over the city as he is stopping to greet friends throughout the tour. His tour lasted 2 hours! The best I have ever taken in a city. On top of that, he helped us in a completely unrelated situation the following day. We asked a lot of him and he had zero hesitation. Do yourself a favor and do not miss this opportunity. Thank you, Sevko!!!!!!”
– Elizabeth DiRenzo (San Francisco, USA)
“Highly recommended for anyone coming to Mostar”
“Absolutely the highlight of our time in Mostar! Sevko was an absolutely fantastic guide. He has an intimate knowledge of Mostar and its history – from ancient times until present day. He was charming and open to questions… Highly recommended for anyone coming to Mostar. You will certainly get a more authentic and informative experience than going with one of the many other tour groups in Mostar. The small size of the tour and the quality of the guide made this the highlight of our entire trip!”
– Robbie Ellenhorn (Washington, USA)
