This tour provided insight into the incredibly complex war in the 90s and the recovery that followed. Vedad was an excellent teacher and very knowledgeable. I appreciated being able to view the city of Mostar from the nearby mountain at the end. It provided great perspective. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Mostar wanting to learn more about the recent past.
A history class you won’t forget

We had the pleasure of taking this tour with our amazing guide, Esmer. In two hours and thirty minutes he was able to tell us the entire history of the wars of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This was hands down the most informative and personal tour we have ever experienced. He gave us all the information, took his time to explain and answer our questions and showed different locations in the city of Mostar where you can still find some remains of the horror that took place during that time. Esmer is an excellent storyteller and what make this tour so unbelievably good is that he is an actual war survivor (how this may sound, it makes him a true expert). He told about his youth and everything he had been through. If you decide to take this tour (which we highly recommend) be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster and lots of information.

Had a memorable experience on this tour . I can't say enough great things about our guide Esmer. His presentation of the complex history of the city and the region was so helpful to better understand this lovely city. I very much appreciated the care he took to present all sides of the story, and his deep understanding of the geopolitics of the region. Loved this tour! It is essential for any trip to Mostar in order to truly appreciate the strength of the people and the place.

The tour gave an in depth look into a war that not many know about. He was very detailed and easy to speak with and provided numerous amounts of helpful links to learn more about Bosnia after the tour was over. Fantastic all around and would highly recommend!

Our guide was fantastic, he told us so much about the war and brought us around to several places to show us the ruins that still remain today. This was one of the best tours we were ever on, guide was so friendly and knowledgeable, he answered every question we asked and kindly gave us a little magnet as a gift at the end of the tour. I couldn't recommend this tour enough, a definite must for anyone interested in the history of the war. Just wish we could remember the guides name to personally mention him here.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
