Kenan is a great your guide

Jamie_B, May 2024

Outstanding Tour. Kenan is the beat. Shows you all the great things Bosnia has to offer. A Tasty sandwich from a local bakery he gives you free of charge. Regular coffee stops along the way to break up the long journey. I would highly recommend this tour for a memorable day

Worth the money

Harry_J, Apr 2024

great day out! Adnan is an awesome guide! had a decent amount of time in each location and felt very happy with the overall experience

Great trip!

mollyvarquez13, Apr 2024

We really had a great time. If you have a tour guide like Kenan, he is incredible, it’s really worth it. He is very good in showing us the best part of central Bosnia and telling us the its history. He is so knowledgeable. The waterfalls are fantastic, showing the beauty of Jajce. Kenan took us to this fantastic place for lunch and something that I haven’t had before. So much to say, the tour was really worth of your time and money. I love to go back to this place in the future. Highly recommend!

Worth it!

Melissa_F, Mar 2024

Ken was very friendly and we had a great time at all the great spots learning the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina and daily life of the locals! Totally recommended!

Great experience

gregchallener, Feb 2024

Fantastic tour. Kenan is a great guide who is enthusiastic in discussing Bosnia's culture and history. The day is well planned and - while a full day - felt like it went quickly. There are multiple companies that go to Jajce and Travnik, and so I had some difficulty deciding which to choose. I'm really glad I chose this one!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Dear Greg, It was our pleasure meeting you, we had a great time together as you said, time went by so quickly. We'll make sure to keep the same rhythm of the tour since a lot of people mentioned that and are satisfied with the way this tour goes. And I'm glad you chose us to guide you, it was a great pleasure meeting you! Thank you so much for these lovely words and for recommending Adventure in Bosnia, it means a lot. Hope to see you again, cause we will be waiting as you said! Stay safe. Cheers, Kenan from Adventure in Bosnia team.

Absolutely amazing

Somsakul_S, Oct 2023

I cannot recommend this tour company highly enough for their exceptional service!! I spent the day and night travelling from Belgrade to Sarajevo. The tour agency sent a staff to pick me up as soon as I arrived, even though the tour had not yet begun, and accommodated me in every way. It was quite stunning! I strongly recommend it!!!

great day tour

Martin_D, Oct 2023

Very long day of visiting, but absolutely worth it. Dont forget to bring water or beverage, especialy on a sunny day.

In the mountains of North B&H

Soumyadip_C, Sep 2023

Memorable journey through the mountain towns of north B&H. Adnan was a gem as a tour operator. His depth of knowledge, easy conversational approach and proactive attitude made it special.

Trevnik, Jajce waterfalls and old town and Watermills.

Barbara_R, Sep 2023

I loved the old town of Trevnik and visiting the house of the famous Croatian author Ivo Andric. The water mills were amazing and the waterfalls at Jajce were pretty good. Our Guide was knowledgeable and gave us lots of history. He was caring and a good driver. I’m sorry I can’t pronounce or spell his name. He had a blue tee shirt that had his name on the back.

Best tour in Bosnia!

Ira_P, Aug 2023

I had an amazing time on the Jajce, Travnik and Pliva watermills tour with Adventure in Bosnia in May of this year. Ken is a wonderful tour guide! He was knowledgeable, knew the best spots for photos, and treated us to the most delicious Cevape I have ever tasted. Out of the 3 different agencies I toured with in Bosnia, I'd say this one was by far the best (sucks for the competition, I guess). 10/10 would highly recommend.

The Hidden Gem in Bosnia

JeromeXinglin_Q, Apr 2023

I was thoroughly impressed with this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the rich pittoresque sceneries and cultural heritage. Despite the occasional transfers throughout the journey, the stunning surroundings will keep you captivated. The mountains that encircle the area are covered in lush forests and steep rocks, providing a unique and mesmerizing view. As history has left its mark on this once tumultuous land, the natural scenery has remained constant, bearing witness to the changes that have occurred over the centuries. However, it is only with the guidance of our enthusiastic and friendly tour guide that one can discover the hidden beauty tucked away amidst the winding rivers and majestic peaks. Overall, the natural beauty, rich history, and warm hospitality of the tour guide made it a truly memorable journey.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Dear Jerome, Wow. Thank you so much for these lovely words and recommendations, I've never seen a more detailed review of this tour. I'm so glad that you got to witness this Jajce tour with Haris, he really is a true Bosnian gem. It's awesome that it turned out this way, now you have a cool memory from our country. Hope to see you again! Stay safe. Warm regards, Kenan from Adventure in Bosnia team.

Hidden gems of Bosnia

Clare_D, Feb 2023

This is an absolutely fantastic tour, Jajce and Travnik are trielt hidden gems of Bosnia. The tour guide, Kenan, was incredibly enthusiastic and passionate about all things Bosnia. Local knowledge and history of the country was outstanding and Kenan was more than happy to answer any questions and see additional sites. Both Jajce and Travnik are great Towns and completely different feel and vibe to Mostar and Sarajevo. A really interesting step in Bosnian history and culture. Jajce especially so, picturesque with stunning Pliva watermills and lake. Would highly recommend using this company to book.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Dear Clare, Wow. I couldn't be happier to hear these lovely words and recommendations, thanks! I'm so glad that you experienced and appreciated medieval Bosnia the right way, mission accomplished :) Thank you for recommending Adventure in Bosnia as a company to book when coming to visit, it really means a lot to me. Hope to see you again someday! Stay safe. Warm regards, Kenan from Adventure in Bosnia team.

Superb day

Scott_K, Jun 2022

A positive start to the trip led by Emina Koso began early morning with a phone call. “Good morning my name is Emina and I will be your guide for the day. I will be with you in a few minutes”. This bright call set the tone for the day as we collected the other party members who were taking the trip to the Waterfalls, mills and lake. Talkative, informative was key for the day and we had a superb time together as we first stopped off at Travnik and the Blue Water before heading to the Old Town. The views spectacular, but advise take a sensible shoe if going to go up the grounds. The longer part of the day was then to Jajce and the waterfall. Spectacular, and with the burning heat the residue of the water was quite refreshing as it occasionally sprayed over. From here we made the short journey in the town to the Watermills which are very small wooden huts, smaller than beach chalets what previous generations had at the British seaside. Here the water pours through and again another spectacular site. We were able to make a small walk around the mills, you may get your shoes wet for a moment but it is an experience one should take, especially with the ducks, butterflies and clear water where one can see school of fish. From here a short ride to the Pliva Lake and opportunity at extra cost to ride the lake 80KM for a normal boat, 90KM for the VIP. This is per boat so divide by your group numbers. We then made the journey back to Sarajevo seeing beautiful countryside, views and enjoyment. Emina made the trip a positive, enjoyable experience as did my two fellow tourists, we made one stop on the way back for a late lunch which was pleasant and one of the best roast lamb had tasted. At no point at any site we’re we rushed or given a specific time to reconvene together - this made the visit pleasant to admire each surround. The following day on another tour with another group it was nice to be recognised as I sat and Emina came over and greeted me. Hvala.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Scott, Wow. Thank you so much for these kind words and your recommendation, honored to hear it. I'll try to address every part of it. I like how you wanted to educate people reading this that it is recommendable to wear proper shoes in order to climb up the castle and to walk around watermills. Thank you for that! We really take pride in not rushing our guests and doing everything slowly, the Bosnian way. Emina is a great guide and lady as well, glad you loved the sites and the tour with her so much :) I'm happy to hear she greeted you the next day, very nice of her. She sends her regards! Once again thank you so much, we appreciate it! Hope to meet you someday! Warm regards, Kenan from Adventure in Bosnia team.

Interesting

Shatha_A, Jul 2021

Hi Tour was excellent a lot of places Tour guide kanan was very helpful and friendly and explaining a lot of information and history of what we visit I recommend any one want to visit to go with him Only drawback was his car is small but it was enough for us since we are 2 person

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Dear Statha, We are happy to hear that you had a great time with us on Jajce & Travnik tour. Thank you so much for the recommendation. We will make sure to update the current car (Peugeot 3008) in the near future so that there is plenty of room for everyone, thanks for the advice :) Stay safe! Warm regards, B&H Adventure team

Wondeful!!

Michael_S, Jan 2021

This was an absolutely wonderful tour that I would recommend to anyone traveling to Sarajevo. The locations of the tour were wonderful, containing both historical intrigue (old castles from the 13th C Bosnian kingdom) to natural beauty (the waterfall in the middle of Jajce is really something to behold. I haven't seen anything like it). More so, this agency made sure the experience was as good as can be. Kenan led my tour and you really couldn't ask for more from a tour operator. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the locations and history, he had a wonderful personal touch in making sure that you were happy with trip -- whether that's taking questions to helping out with photos, etc. Honestly, at the end of the day, you not only saw a bit of Bosnia, but really felt like you had someone to make you feel a part of it. Absolutely amazing tour!

Response from Host, Jan 2021

Dear Michael, Thank you for this amazing review. I'm so glad I was able to transfer a bit of Bosnia and Bosnian atmosphere onto you, that was my ultimate goal. You were a great guest and friend, hope to see you someday, maybe at a TOP concert! :D Stay alive! II-// Warm regards, Kenan from B&H Adventure team.

Tres belle sortie en Bosnie centrale

claude_B, Jun 2021

Tres belle ballade à la découverte des moulins à eau de Jajce. Le chauffeur-guide l'agence était particulièrement sympathique et compétent. Un day-tour à faire absolument

Response from Host, Jul 2021

Dear Claude, Wow! We are delighted to hear that you had a great time with us on Jajce & Travnik tour. Next time we'll do it even better. Stay safe! Warm regards, B&H Adventure team.
