Does anyone know of a tour company/website that has a package of apprx 4 days travelling from Dubrovnik- visiting or staying at Mostar then onto Sarajevo and return to Dubrovnik? my husband and I are looking at travelling next year approx. late June into mid July 2011. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Ing55

While I don't have recommendations for a tour company, the route you propose is easily doable on your own via bus/train. Mostar is small enough that you can walk into town in 15 mins or take a taxi. Much the same for Sarajevo if you get dropped off at the main bus station. If I remember correctly, it was only a $4-5 cab ride into the center of town. Hotels are easy to come by - so if you don't find a tour, go on your own.

I agree with the previous post. It is easy to do via bus. There are multiple buses that go from Dubrovnik to Mostar and the from Mostar to Sarajevo. There is also a train option from Mostar to Sarajevo, but the times aren't as convenient as the bus. The buses from Mostar to Sarajevo were a bit sketchy. On the day I went it was raining and there was a hole in the roof of the bus that allowed water to get in causing a mini river in the aisle. I didn't mind, I think it makes for a great memory, but I know some travellers would cringe at the thought. Bosnia and Herzegovina are stunning and the people are so kind. As for lodging you could easily book this yourself. Just make sure when you are in Sarajevo that you stay near the old town. It is a bit of a distance from the bus/train station, but the trams go right through that area. Or you could also taxi. I think you will love it.
