Go off-road in search of wild horses in the foothills of Mount Cincar – your expert local leaders and guides know all the best spots to look.
Explore the historic and off-the-beaten-path town of Jajce – the birthplace of Yugoslavia and home to centuries-old architecture and a fairytale waterfall.

Meet Sarajevo’s only female coppersmith while wandering the cobblestone walkways of the city’s historic cultural centre.
Is this trip right for you?
This itinerary requires a good level of fitness due to exploring towns on foot and hiking.
You'll occasionally use public transport on this trip, providing for a truly authentic travel experience. You will need to manage your own luggage on and off vehicles, so we recommend that you pack light.
Most of the accommodation on this trip is in hotels, however, we also spend two nights at a countryside guesthouse where accommodation is also in twin-share rooms. Many travellers find this experience offers a rewarding, authentic slice of rural hospitality.
Itinerary
Weave your way through the history and landscapes of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Nature, history and culture collide across Bosnia and Herzegovina on this round-trip eight-day exploration from Sarajevo. So recently touched by upheaval, the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina are eager to share their history and customs with you – through good food and local stories. Spot wild horses in the mountains, step inside a preserved bunker that remained a national secret for decades, go hiking to the mountain village of Lukomir and tuck into home-made cheeses, pies and boreks.

I usually do my own thing and seldom take group tours. This reminded me it was good to have the interaction with guides and locals and the knowledge and the pleasure of being part of group made it a very enjoyable tour.

This was a great trip! I learnt loads about the country and enjoyed the beautiful landscapes and towns. The most incredible part though was the people: each and every one of the guides we had was incredible! So friendly and welcoming and happy to share their amazing communities and experiences and food. Fabulous week!

Bosnia and Herzegovina is a special place unlike any other I've been to. The scenery is beautiful, the history and politics mind-bending, and the people a delight - and the tour made all three infinitely more accessible. It wasn't without its challenges (eg, long hot days, changing accommodation every night except one) but we were lucky to have a good group and a knowledgeable and fun leader. If you're up for a genuine adventure, you won't regret doing this trip!

The biggest advantage of this trip was the variety of activities, making each day feel unique. There was a wild horse safari, swimming in waterfalls, Tito's bunker, hiking, and more. I truly recommend this in-depth tour of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

A breathtaking and magnificent country with wonderful people. Everywhere you turn there was a piece of history, culture or a view to absorb! Ivan our leader was amazing too!

I implore you to consider Bosnia & Herzegovina it is a destination of such diversity in food, culture, history and wilderness. One of the highlights of this trip included a traditional Bosnian dinner with a delightful couple who were generous with their time, food and experiences - a great ice breaker on your first night together as a group. However, finding wild horses in the mountains and getting to see them interacting with each other was super special. I learnt so much about the history of Bosnia & Herzegovina and the wider political landscape that contributed to where it is today. Hearing first hand accounts of the recent war was a humbling and unique experience. Our guide Ivan was fabulous he made everything seamless and did so with such humour. This trip is full of stunning landscapes, history, tasty delights and incredibly strong coffee. I have recommended it to any one that asks how my trip to Bosnia & Herzegovina was.

A brilliant tour of Bosnia/Herzegovina with a great mix of activities from white water rafter to cooking demonstrations to history and culture. Pavle was a brilliant leader who was great fun, whilst keeping us all on track. Highly recommend both Intrepid and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
