Ismet was an excellent guide — knowledgeable, personable, and professional. This felt like a relaxed day, and yet we saw so many things, with my favourite being the extraordinary painted Ottoman mosque at the end (in Travnik). We also saw a great deal of beautiful scenery, and the stops were well timed. If you’re going to be in Sarajevo for a few days, I would definitely recommend taking this tour to see a bit more of what makes Bosnia a beautiful place.

It was truly incredible! This tour made me realize that places beyond Sarajevo and Mostar are underrated. The untouched nature in this country is breathtaking, with mountains and waterfalls of unparalleled beauty. It was an informative day, thanks to our guide Adnan, who was not only relaxed but also knowledgeable. I learned a great deal during this trip. Huge thanks to Asim and Adnan! I’ll be back next time with friends inšallah. Take care! Yasemin
