We're bringing another Exciting Trip
We’re back with another group trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina! This time around, we want to show you the beauty of this country on our new itinerary: The Summer Edition. This is one of our favorite countries in the world and the one that inspired us to run tours.
Enjoy the Adventure
Bosnia offers breathtaking nature, historic towns, and an incredible mix of cultures that is not commonly found around the world. However, it wouldn’t be possible to visit this beautiful country without learning about the Bosnian Genocide which lasted from 1992-1995.
Through this partnership, we have combined the best of fun and education. It is being led by Our World Too, an organisation dedicated to changing the way we perceive refugees. Together, we’ve created this Hybrid Tour to bring you the best of both worlds - the opportunity to immerse yourself in the history, culture and tourist highlights of Bosnia and Herzegovina while also visiting sites such as the Srebrenica Memorial Museum and learning more about the war from survivors – people who have LIVED through history.
If you’re looking to visit a lesser-known destination in Europe, travel in a completely different way, get to meet new people and immerse yourself in a new culture, then come and join us!
Bosnia: The Summer Edition
- Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The trip to Bosnia was one of my favorite experiences ever. I got to explore the country, its diverse people, complicated history, and delicious food so well within just a few days. You will meet people who went through unspeakable pain but you will also get to relax and laugh lots along the way. The incredible and loving people who organise the trip are dedicated to the fullest and it feels more like you’re hanging out with old friends! Don’t think too much just sign up, it’s worth every penny!

Itinerary
We have carefully planned out each day to give you the best possible experience. From exploring historic landmarks to tasting delicious local cuisine, each day is packed with adventure and excitement. Join us as we take you on a journey through some of the most fascinating destinations in the world.
Our team will be waiting for you in the city centre of Dubrovnik to be picked up at 1 pm. Dubrovnik has better connections than airports in Bosnia and Herzegovina so this will make things easier for you. We would also suggest you take advantage of this stop to explore Dubrovnik before we pick you up!
We will then begin our journey towards Mostar, during which you will witness the beautiful landscape of Bosnia and Herzegovina. You’ll have some time to explore the beautiful sights that Mostar has to offer before our welcome dinner in the evening.
We will be staying in the Kriva Cuprija Hotel, which is the only UNESCO heritage site hotel in the whole city. This beautiful building has been preserved for more than 500 years.
Meals included: Dinner
Overnight in Mostar. Kriva Cuprija Hotel or equivalent
This morning we’ll explore the beautiful old town of Mostar, this will include walking over the historic Stari Most! As you walk across the cobbled streets and make your way to Mostar’s famous landmarks, our local Bosnian guide will be sharing stories from the Siege of Mostar and how people in the city survived during the Bosnian Genocide.
You can also visit the Koski-Mehmed Pasha’s Mosque. Built in 1618 and rebuilt after the war where you will have the opportunity to climb the minaret for sweeping views of Stari Most and Mostar (tickets for the mosque and minaret will be self-funded).
In the afternoon, we’ll explore the Dervish Lodge located in picturesque Blagaj (tickets included). You’ll have the opportunity to enjoy some afternoon coffee or tea against a backdrop of the crystalline waters of the Buna River.
Once you’ve enjoyed Blagaj to your heart’s content, we’ll head back to Mostar for the night.
Meals included: Breakfast
Overnight in Mostar. Kriva Cuprija Hotel or equivalent
We’ll spend the day in the beautiful town of Stolac learning more about the history of the city and how conditions were during the Bosnian War, including visiting a traditional home!
The necropolis in Radimlja, one of the most valuable monuments of the medieval period in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the ancient citadel of Daorson are just two of the unique historical pearls that we will explore in Stolac.
In the afternoon, after having lunch by the beautiful waterfalls in Stolac, we’ll visit Pocitelj. Here you’ll be able to visit the historic fortress and learn about the aggression the village was subjected to by Croatian nationalists during the Bosnian war.
Later in the day, we’ll be making our way to Sarajevo for the evening.
Meals included: Breakfast
Overnight in Sarajevo.
Despite frequently being overlooked by media outlets in their coverage of the invasion of Ukraine, the Srebrenica Genocide was the worst atrocity to take place on European soil since WW2.
The extensive use of propaganda during the war in Bosnia dehumanised and painted the Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) population as an ‘incompatible other’. By visiting the memorial site you’re taking part in a necessary effort to learn the importance of combating hate and preserving the stories of survivors and victims for future generations.
Meals included: Breakfast
Overnight in Sarajevo
After breakfast, we’ll begin bright and early with a short drive to the Tunnel of Hope (tickets included). This structure is what allowed Sarajevans to be able to survive during the longest siege in modern history. After a guided tour of the tunnel, we’ll be making our way back to Sarajevo where we’ll be hosting lunch. You’ll be able to try burek, a Bosnian delicacy. Vegetarian options are available.
After lunch, we’ll go on a guided tour of Bosnia’s beautiful capital city Sarajevo, a city steeped in medieval and modern history. Our expert local guide will walk you through the cobblestone streets of the historic Baščaršija area of Sarajevo.
In the evening, you will have some free time to join us for an optional cable car trip (tickets will be self-funded) to enjoy breathtaking views of the city or you can choose to explore the city and its traditional handmade stalls and bakeries. This will be a great opportunity to purchase locally-made gifts and souvenirs to take home with you.
Meals: Breakfast and lunch.
Overnight in Sarajevo
We will be venturing up north to the town of Ahmići, a village where hundreds lost their lives due to aggression from Croat nationalist forces. Following this, we will continue onwards to Jajce, famous for its nature and stunning waterfalls. There is ziplining here available for an additional price.
After Jajce, we’ll head on to Travnik, a historic town in the central part of Bosnia. Here you’ll find Bosnian architecture that is unique to this region. We’ll walk through the narrow streets and learn more about the history before making our way to the Cevabdzinica Hari for our goodbye dinner. Locals all around the country claim this is the best spot in Bosnia and Herzegovina for cevapi!
After dinner, we’ll make our way back to Sarajevo for the evening.
