Howdy folks. I'll be in Mostar for a few days in April. Please share any recommendations you have for a city tour/tour guide.
With love from Vienna

I haven't personally used them, but my RS Croatia and Slovenia guidebook (8th edition 2020) speaks well of these for Mostar: Alma Elezovic (almasguidedtours.blogspot.com, [email protected], also her son Jaz (same contact info); or Adisa Ibrulj Muhic, [email protected].
I hope this is helpful (as your advice about Vienna has been for me in the past).
A few days is longer than most stay in Mostar. Is this part of a longer tour? I found the couple hours our tour spent in Mostar to be time well spent, but Sarajevo has a lot more to offer for a longer stay in Bosnia.

Thanks Slate. Yes, Mostar is part of a larger trip that includes Dubrovnik and Montenegro. Very excited as I have been to Croatia probably 30 times but never Dubrovnik.

I stayed a few nights in Mostar a couple of years ago and found the “free”city tour very interesting. It ran twice a day when I was there and I think normally only a very small number of guides who regularly do the tours (unlike some other places I have done “free tours”. Not what you asked about, but thought I would throw it out there.

I have used these guys a couple of times, worked out well and would use them again: https://meetbosnia.com/ They are headquartered in Sarajevo, but I bet if you write them they will have a guide in Mostar.
If you are doing more than just Mostar and need regional assistance, let me know. I have a different name for that. I think I sent it to you in a PM.
Safe travels.

I am waiting on laundry again, so to kill time.
BiH My favorite stops in near and on the way to Mostar. I am assuming you aren’t going further than Mostar? Or the list gets longer.
