Quick answer

2-hour Mostar walking tour with a local guide. Stari Most, Old Bazaar, Karadjozbeg Mosque, war stories. Daily 10:00 and 16:00. €25 per person. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before. Confirmation in 60 seconds.

What you'll experience

Two hours, one bridge, and 500 years of stories.

This 2-hour Mostar walking tour isn’t the version that ends at the bridge for a photo.

We start there and keep going — into the copper bazaar (Kujundziluk) where five generations of artisans still hammer trays by hand, past the 16th-century Karadjozbeg Mosque (climb the minaret if you’ve got the legs), into the streets locals still call by their pre-war names.

Your guide is Armel Sukovic — born in Mostar, trainer in grassroots peace-and-reconciliation NGOs after the war before becoming a tour guide, working since 2009.

He’ll explain why the Stari Most matters beyond Instagram, point at the front line of 1993 from the rooftop you didn’t know existed, and tell you which bridge divers actually grew up here.

Departures daily at 10:00 and 16:00 from Stari Most (west side). Small group, max 8 people.

Armel grew up two streets from Stari Most. He's been running tours since 2009; before that he worked as a trainer in grassroots peace-and-reconciliation NGOs after the war. Ask him anything — about the war, the food, the music. He'll have an opinion, and probably a story to back it up.

We were so glad we took this day trip from Croatia! What a beautiful city! The old town is simply gorgeous and the famous bridge dive by a diver is a must see. The markets near the bridge are really good too we wandered for a while and seemed to get lost in amongst the atmosphere. The people were really friendly and we were surprised by how cheap everything was! Bosnia has many vineyards so we managed to buy a few bottles to take home for very cheap. A must visit it was the highlight of our trip to Croatia!

Loved the drive up the coast of Croatie and the walking tour through Mostar,some lovely restaurants around the old bridge,if you are using any of these,go over the bridge,they are better.Only down side to this trip was waiting in the bus at the border crossings,this can be a bit slow,we waited 25 minutes,but sometimes they told us it could be up to one hour.

I enjoyed this day trip to Mostar. I found the town interesting for its turbulent history, and beautiful with its river, the Stari Most (Old Bridge), cobbled streets and colourful markets. The Explore Mostar Day Trip was well organised and the staff/guides were both knowledgeable and friendly. When we got to Mostar we had the chance to taste some local fruit brandies, climb the minaret of a mosque, and buy some traditional pastries. We then had some free time to look around as we chose. This has been one of my favourite places visited in my travels so far!
