The symbol of Konjic is The Old Stone Bridge, which was connecting the banks of the Neretva river for centuries. It was since 1682. until WW2, when the German occupiers destroyed it, during the withdrawal of their troops.

Love Meet Bosnia - And Jasmin our Guide was amazing!!! - We did a one way transfer and tour (Sarajevo/Split) with Meet Bosnia and had a fantastic experience. The Meet Bosnia staff were great at communicating when we made changes or had questions and always did so in a timely manner.
Our guide Jasmin was FANTASTIC! He gave us just the right amount of information at the various tour sites and we had 100% confidence in his driving. He was very professional and also a great person to chat with; it made the day very enjoyable.
This is a great service for folks traveling between cities as you combine the transfer and tours; travel and learning…bonus!!!
Thanks Meet Bosnia and great job Jasmin.
Thanks very much.

Trhe hghlights of Herzogovina in one day - Jasmin was a wonderful guide, we had great discussions on religion and politics related to the recent history in Bosnia and the former Yugoslavia. We visted some wonderful sights. This a great toir for someone who wants to see the highlights of Herzogovina in one day. It was a lot for one day one could easily spend three or four days in this region.

Visit Bosnia & Herzegovina from Split in One Way tour - It was a very interesting tour, visiting Kravice Falls, Pocitelj, Mostar, Blagaj, Konjic and finally Sarajevo (the last is not included in the tour).
We spent another day in this city and don't regret this decision.
The guide, Vedad Hastor was excellent. He explains the history of each place who visit with details and deeps concepts. Really, it was a pleasure to share the day with him.

Unexpected surprises in BiH - We had only 2 1/2 short days in BiH and needed to use one to drive to Croatia. We first met MeetBosnia on the free walking tour, and Eddie gave us a great introduction to the old town. We then met Adnan as our guide on The Fall of Yugoslavia Tour - which was an interesting and fascinating story of the sad and not so distant history of Sarajevo. We then realized we could take a “transfer” to Split with MeetBosnia instead of driving ourselves. We were lucky to have Adnan again who spent 12 hours giving a condensed history of major places. The drive would have been nerve wracking on our own through curvy mountain roads! Adnan was a knowledgeable guide who showed us many hidden gems we never could find on our own!

Hellish tour - Our guide was nice but his English was not understandable. We would have enjoyed the tour with a more knowledgeable speaker than we had. The places we went to were great. The heat did not help but overall it is a long and strenuous 13 hour tour. For the future tours it would have been good to ask for steps and uphills that were very strenuous. Overall it was very long…..
