The experience
The tour covers roughly 60 kilometres southwest from Sarajevo into a landscape shaped by the Neretva River, which cuts through a narrow canyon the Illyrians called "Divinity that flows." You start in Konjic, where the Stara Ćuprija (an Ottoman bridge built in 1682–83 with six stone arches) stands as the best-preserved example of its kind in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The bridge was destroyed by retreating German forces in 1945 and rebuilt to its original form between 2003 and 2009. It now carries the status of a National Monument. From there, the route follows the river south toward the waterfalls.
Kravice Waterfalls is the natural centerpiece: turquoise water cascades into a pool ringed by limestone cliffs and vegetation, a place where the day slows for photographs and rest. The tour then moves into Mostar, the UNESCO World Heritage site that gives the region its identity. The Old Bridge, Stari Most, was designed by the Ottoman architect Sinan in the 16th century and destroyed during the 1990s conflict. It has since been rebuilt, and the surrounding Old Town (with its Turkish houses and bazaar) has been restored with international support. Locals still dive from the bridge into the Neretva River, a tradition that draws crowds to the water's edge.
Blagaj holds two stops: the Tekija, a Dervish monastery nearly 600 years old, sits at the base of a cliff beside the Buna River spring in a compound of stone buildings that has survived through Ottoman times and into the present; and Vrelo Bune, the natural and architectural ensemble at the river's source itself. The final stop is Počitelj, a medieval town with ancient stone walls and Ottoman-era structures perched above the valley. The guide speaks English, Italian or German depending on the option you choose at checkout, and the vehicle is air-conditioned for the full route.
