The castles in Bosnia are fantastic. We traveled to three castles that were all unique and offered spectacular views. Adis, my tour guide, offers a very special experience to his guests by sending a drone up to video the experience. This was the first time I have been on a tour that was videoed via a drone….amazing experience!!

Wonderful tour, and Adis is a wonderful guide. He’s friendly, charming, and informative. You’ll get a chance to see the amazing countryside while touring castles as basically the only visitors. It’s a long tour but completely worth it, complete with history, nature, and Adis’ perspective. Take the tour.

It was the best trip we had in Bosnia. For lovers of history and medieval times this is a must have, all three fortresses show different types of architecture and style. We had a private your, so everything was tailored to suit us. There is plenty of time to see everything and enjoy it fully without rush. Adis was brilliant, knowledgeable and very kind guide, who made this experience unforgettable. Would definitely recommend.

Besides being knowledgeable, he was kind, considerate, accommodating and a true joy and pleasure to be with. I honestly don't think I could ever have a better tour than the one he provided!

Adis was such a knowledgeable, kind guide. This tour is perfect for a chill day exploring some castles while enjoying nature. 🏰 No crowds and very peaceful! I loved this day for a change of pace from the city. Adis takes care of you from snacks, to lunch, to coffee breaks and he has so much context for Bosnia's history. Definitely recommend!
