Just like its culture, Herzegovinian cuisine is a delightful merging of east and west. Visitors often note elements of Mostar’s traditional fare which are familiar to them from travels through the Mediterranean, Eastern Europe, and the Balkan Peninsula, but with something equally distinctive and unique. Mostarian food is rooted firmly in the local landscape, from which much of our quality dishes derive. In many ways, traditional Herzegovinian food embodies the modern idea of farm to table, with local small-scale farms contributing to the food you will see on your plates while dining in Mostar. Local dishes are produced by hand and with care – this is tasted in every bite you will enjoy during your visit. It might appear simple, but our food is honest.
Sheva’s Cuisine and Cobblestone Walking Tour brings together Mostar’s compelling history and delicious local cuisine. As we take in the sites and stories in and around Mostar’s Old Town, we will weave in stops to sample the delicious local cuisine. A perfect opportunity to taste a variety of dishes during your time in Mostar! The tastes will be accompanied by helpful explanations about the local dishes and tips on where and how they should be best enjoyed. At each of our stops, we will have time to eat, drink, and be merry. There will be time to ask questions and ensure you leave us with happy bellies and a better understanding of Mostar’s history, culture, and traditions. Come walk (and eat!) with us – Mostar’s local restaurants, bakeries, and cafés await!
The Cuisine and Cobblestones Walking Tour will last about 3 hours; but please build in a bit of flexibility in case you would like to linger over coffee at the conclusion of your experience. If you have any dietary concerns, please let us know. We will do our best to try to accommodate your needs!

“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!!!!!!”

“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)
