- Travnik - If You did not have a chance to have a cup of coffee do not worry! Perfect place for traditional Bosnian coffee is “Plava Voda” (blue water springs).
- Fortress of Jajce - Next stop is the city of Jajce. Open sky museum with waterfall in the center of the city. While you walk towards the Jajce Fortress and when you pass through the city gates you will enter in a city built for kings. Fortress of Jajce is part of the Old Town of Jajce and a marvel of Bosnian Medieval architecture
- Catacomb of Jajce - Catacombs of Jajce is the name given by locals to underground Christian small church so it is not a “catacomb” in true sense. Church has been carved in a single rock or a cave in late Romanesque style.
- Pliva Waterfall - What makes city of Jajce unique is that You are able to see and feel magnificent 21-meter-tall waterfall which is placed among 12 most beautiful in the world.
- Mlincici - Watermills located on river Pliva are only 5 kilometers away from center of Jajce. Twenty watermills dating since medieval period are built between Small and Large Pliva lake. Because of fairy-tale appearance they make amazing place for photos. Amazing enough, some of them are still in use.
After the Watermills we rest next to the banks of Pliva lake, which is the best place to have a lunch and get ready to come back to Sarajevo.

Without this tour, my trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina would have been very different - I booked a tour for the first time in my travel history, and it turned out to be the best decision ever!
The tour organizer contacted me in advance to clarify important details such as entrance fees, departure time, and the availability of snacks during the tour.
Our guide, Kenan, was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina. He was sociable, pleasant, and fun, which made the trip even more enjoyable.
I learned so many fascinating facts and was able to connect more deeply with the places we visited.
Without this tour, my trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina would have been very different—definitely not as impressive. Thank you for an amazing experience!

100% recommended - I booked this tour at the last minute and fortunately, they accepted my booking within 24 hours. It did not disappoint. I have been to +35 countries and Adnan was one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had travelling. He’s had a fascinating career working for anti-war non-profits, so he has extensive knowledge of the history of Bosnia, particularly the tragic last decades. I’m a history major, so we had incredible conversations and I was impressed by his openness and patience. Needless to say, the locations we visited were also beautiful, and I was lucky enough to be with a group of nice people despite travelling solo. Thank you for this experience. You made my trip very special.

Incredible sites and 10/10 guide - The tour was amazing, Ahmed our tour guide made it feel very special. The places we visited were beautiful and a great opportunity as it would otherwise be difficult to reach these areas.
We all bonded very well with Ahmed and it made the tour very personal and so much more memorable – it did not feel as though I was talking to a random guide, but to a real friend.

Great day tours - The company was really well organized and friendly via Mina. Ahmed was a good driver and guide. You can tell he had enthusiasm for his job and the history of his country. The tour itself covered a lot of ground in the region; a lot of which would have been difficult to get to without a car. All in all, a good experience!

A Perfect Blend of History, Nature, and Adventure! - This tour was an unforgettable experience! The landscapes were absolutely breathtaking, from the medieval charm of Travnik to the stunning waterfalls in Jajce. The wooden watermills were like something out of a fairytale, and Pliva Lake was the perfect peaceful spot to end the day. Ahmed our guide was fantastic—so knowledgeable, engaging, and fun, making the history and culture of Bosnia truly come to life. If you're looking for a perfect mix of history, nature, and great company, this tour is a must and Mina is great at answering any questions and helping plan a great time in Bosnia!

10/10 experience - This trip was amazing from start to finish! We had the lovely Ibrahim as our tour guide and I could not fault him. Not only did he welcome us from the beginning he was so kind and chatty. His driving is smooth which is great for travel sickness ! He is so knowledgeable and really let us explore the perfect areas of Bosnia! I would recommend this experience to anyone , we were only in Bosnia for two days and I’m so glad we spent one of them on this tour. We saw the fortress’, catacombs, lake mills and waterfalls. Views were amazing and he took photos for us as it was just us two.
