Why choose a tour holiday to Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Bosnia and Herzegovina isn't your usual European holiday destination, giving you a unique opportunity to uncover its seemingly endless surprises. Walk the streets where the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand sparked World War I, marvel at poignant reminders of the country’s recent conflicts and bask in the natural beauty of the crisscrossing bright blue rivers.
Our Bosnia and Herzegovina tours show you the best of the history, nature and local traditions in every tangled forest, sleepy town and Ottoman-era city. Thanks to the knowledge of our expert guides, you'll soon get acquainted with this lesser-known wonder of the Balkans.
Thomas, Product Manager at Jules Verne, explains:
"Exploring Bosnia and Herzegovina with a local guide is like unlocking a time capsule. They bring the landscapes to life with their authentic perspective, ensuring you don't just scratch the surface but experience breathtaking attractions like the Pliva Lakes or Sutjeska National Park. Their knowledge enriches your journey with insights no guidebook can replicate."
How do our small group tours to Bosnia and Herzegovina work?

What destinations can you visit on our Bosnia and Herzegovina tours?
Guided holidays to Bosnia and Herzegovina take you to every exciting corner of this mostly landlocked country, covering quaint towns, lush wilderness and busy metropolises.
Trebinje
Your holiday to Bosnia and Herzegovina begins in Trebinje, a bustling city that lies in the southeastern river valley of Trebišnjica. It's home to the Arslanagić Bridge, a 16th-century Ottoman masterpiece, and Hercegovačka Gračanica Monastery. The region, close to Croatia's Dubrovnik, is renowned for its wine culture.
Sarajevo
Sarajevo is the capital city and the perfect place to peel back the layers of the country's fascinating history. Visit local museums to learn about Bosnia and Herzegovina's storied past and the war that tore the region apart. In the surrounding areas, discover the Neolithic traditions of Ilidza, a quaint town complete with Roman baths and a medieval settlement.
Jajce
Our guided tours will take you into the heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina to the picture-perfect town of Jajce. You'll find one of the country's most stunning landmarks: the Pliva Waterfall, where the Pliva River cascades dramatically into the Vrbas River to create a spectacular display. The Pliva Lakes are perfect for kayaking, fishing and hiking, too.
Zenica
Zenica is a city famous for its steel heritage and architectural fusions with its Ottoman-Austro-Hungarian history. During your visit, take a trip to the medieval Vranduk Fortress and enjoy the green spaces of Kamberović Polje.
Mostar
Known for being the home of the iconic Stari Most, an Ottoman bridge dating back to the 16th century, Mostar blesses visitors with captivating views of the emerald Neretva River. The city's UNESCO-listed Old Town is dotted with charming bazaars and traditional Bosnian cafes where you can savour local delicacies. Also, the holy site of Blagaj Tekke is located just a short trek away.
