Sheva's Original Mostar Walking Tour (Small Groups)

Sheva's Original Mostar Walking Tour is a 2.5 hour tour that traverses 600 years of Mostar's history on foot. This walking tour is designed to be comprehensive, covering many aspects of Mostar's complicated distant and more recent past, including local customs and traditions, conflict and war, politics, architecture and language. If you are only able to take one walking tour during your visit to Mostar, this is the one for you.

Explore Old Town, Mostar with us and visit the most beautiful sites while learning about Mostar's complex architecture, history, and traditions.

Sheva's Original Mostar Walking Tour will take you on a chronological journey, beginning in the Old Town. Not only will we journey through the UNESCO-designated Old Town and cross the iconic 16th century Old Bridge, dating from the Ottoman Period, but areas which showcase the Austro-Hungarian expansion of Mostar and the Yugoslav period, including the Bulevar, the front line during the Wars of Yugoslav Succession.

Learn about Yugoslavia's history with a discussion of its violent dissolution, experiences of civilians and soldiers during wartime, and the aftermath of the wars.

Taking you off the beaten path, you will not only learn about the violent dissolution of Yugoslavia during the 1990s, but see the evidence of the wars still visible on Mostar's landscape today. Equally important is hearing how the recent past still impacts the socio-political context of today, including the personal experiences of your guide.

In addition, this tour will include our favorite anecdotes and stories about Mostar and provide you with a true local perspective on food, activities, entertainment that should not be missed during your visit.

Our tour traverses over 600 years of Mostarian history, a journey from the medieval Bosnian Kingdom all the way to present day.

Our guides are professional and highly engaging, ensuring that you are both entertained and informed! Sheva guides strive to create a unique experience during each tour that responds to guests individual interest and questions about Mostar and the wider region. We won’t shy away from difficult questions or topics and will be happy to answer all of your questions about Mostar. Because of Mostar’s recent tumultuous history, we believe it is our responsibility to provide our guests a well-balanced and objective perspective while also retaining our personal approach. Our guides are open about sharing their own personal experiences growing up during the Yugoslav period and experiencing the wars of the 1990s as either a civilian or soldier.
