Mostar Free Walking Tour

FAQs

How long are the tours?

Our free tour generally takes about 2 hours; however, because we are open to questions and discussion, sometimes tours can continue a bit longer or find a conclusion over coffee at a local café.

Do I need to book in advance?

For the Free Walking Tour, booking in advance is appreciated but not required! If you are a group of 8 or more persons, please let us know in advance. We will always be at the meeting point at the scheduled time whether or not guests have booked in advance.

For Private Walking Tours, booking in advance is required. We will work with you to schedule a convenient time and meeting point for your tour. We are happy to tailor a tour to fit your particular needs and interests.

Where and When do tours meet?

Our Free Walking Tour schedule is seasonal. Our schedule between April and September is as follows:

April – May: 9:30 AM and 5 PM Daily
June – July – August: 9:30 AM and 6 PM Daily
September: 9:30 AM and 5 PM Daily

Our Free Walking Tours depart from the square in front of the Hammam Museum at the entrance to Old Town (see Meeting Point). Please check our webpages or contact us directly for our off-season schedule between October – March.

In what languages are tours conducted?

Our Free Walking Tour is generally conducted in English. Tours in Italian, Spanish and local languages are available upon request!

Do you offer Private Walking Tours?

Yes! If you prefer a Private Walking Tour and would like to make an arrangement in advance, please contact us. For more information and pricing for our different tours, please see information listed under Private Tours. We are also happy to customize any of our tours according to your interests!

Can children join tours? Do you have children’s prices for the private tours?

Yes, we think walking tours are a great way for children to engage with a new place. Keep in mind that we do discuss the recent wars, so you may want to consider this if you plan on bringing your children with you on the tour. The War(s) Tour will go in more depth on this topic than the Free Walking Tour.

Children under the age of 12 are free on our private tours. Children ages 12 – 17, accompanied by parents or guardians, are half price.

Can you accommodate school or educational groups?

Yes! We believe our tours can be a powerful educational tool. If you would like to arrange a tour for your group, please contact us directly and we will work with you to arrange an appropriate tour and special group pricing.

How much should I tip?

Our Free Walking Tour is entirely tip-based. You pay only what you feel our free tour experience is worth and what you can afford. We receive a wide range of tips and in a variety of currencies.

How can I share group pictures from the tour?

We love sharing pictures of our tour groups on social media! Send us your pictures from your social media account and we will post them for you, complete with a shout out to you on our page. If you prefer, you can also add pictures to our Trip Advisor page from your personal account or tag us from your personal page!

Where can I leave a review?

You can leave a review in a number of places: Trip Advisor, Facebook, Google Business, and FreeTour.com. At the conclusion of the tour, we will give you a business card that makes leaving a review fast and easy. Thanks for the reviews – we appreciate it!

What currencies do you take?

The local currency is Konvertible Mark (KM). ATMs are located throughout town. Currently, we are cash-only, but for your convenience, we are working on taking major credit and debit cards for the future.

Do I need to bring anything to the tour?

Because Herzegovina summers can be hot, we recommend a bottle of water and hat. Be sure to wear sturdy walking shoes and don’t forget your camera! While winter’s are relatively mild, the Mostarian wind can chill the bones! Be sure to bundle up appropriately for winter tours and wear water proof shoes during heavy rains.
