About your trip

The Hybrid Tours 


A collaboration between Our World Too x Go Global with Sibu  


Here's what one of our guests had to say about us:


"The trip to Bosnia was one of my favorite experiences ever. I got to explore the country, its diverse people, complicated history, and delicious food so well within just a few days. You will meet people who went through unspeakable pain but you will also get to relax and laugh lots along the way. The incredible and loving people who organise the trip are dedicated to the fullest and it feels more like you’re hanging out with old friends! Don’t think too much just sign up, it’s worth every penny!"


Bosnia and Herzegovina is the country that inspired us to found a travel company! Here's what you can expect:

Logistics: Pickup is from the city of Dubrovnik, Croatia on the 30th of June at 2 pm.

The airport code is DBV. If you prefer to come in from Sarajevo, you can also do that. The train ride from there to Mostar is by far one of the most scenic ones in Europe!


The tour finishes on the 6th of July at midday in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The airport code is SJJ.  If the flight schedules do not align, we will be happy to arrange extra hotel nights & airport transfers if needed! Please reach out directly to help you out :) 


If you’re looking to visit a lesser-known destination in Europe, travel in a completely different way, get to meet new people and immerse yourself in a new culture, then come and join us!


Travel tip: Game of Thrones was filmed in Dubrovnik and makes for a great visit. Add a few days before or after this trip to make the most of your holiday.

We will then begin our journey towards Mostar, during which you will witness the beautiful landscape of Bosnia and Herzegovina. You’ll have some time to explore the beautiful sights that Mostar has to offer before our welcome dinner in the evening.


We will be staying in the Kriva Cuprija Hotel, which is the only UNESCO heritage site hotel in the whole city. This beautiful building has been preserved for more than 500 years.

The necropolis in Radimlja, one of the most valuable monuments of the medieval period in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the ancient citadel of Daorson are just two of the unique historical pearls that we will explore in Stolac.

Sarajevo - Where East meets West

After breakfast, we’ll begin bright and early with a guided tour of Bosnia’s beautiful capital city Sarajevo, a city steeped in medieval and modern history. Our expert local guide will walk you through the cobblestone streets of the historic Baščaršija area of Sarajevo. You will also have the opportunity to hear about the siege of Sarajevo, the longest siege in modern history, from survivors.


We’ll be hosting lunch where you’ll be able to try burek, a Bosnian delicacy. Vegetarian options are available. In the evening, you will have some free time to join us for an optional cable car trip (tickets will be self-funded) to enjoy breathtaking views of the city or you can choose to explore the city and its traditional handmade stalls and bakeries.

Never Forget Srebrenica

On our fifth day, we’ll visit the memorial site of Srebrenica-Potocari, where 8,372 Muslim men and boys were murdered in July 1995 as a result of sustained fascist and ethnonational propaganda spread by Serb nationalists. 


Despite frequently being overlooked by media outlets in their coverage of the invasion of Ukraine, the Srebrenica Genocide was the worst atrocity to take place on European soil since WW2.


The extensive use of propaganda during the war in Bosnia dehumanised and painted the Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) population as an ‘incompatible other’. By visiting the memorial site you’re taking part in a necessary effort to learn the importance of combating hate and preserving the stories of survivors and victims for future generations. 


Meals: Breakfast 

Overnight in Sarajevo

Off-the-beaten Bosnian path

Following this, we will continue onwards to Travnik,  a historic town in the central part of Bosnia. Here you’ll find Bosnian architecture that is unique to this region. We’ll walk through the narrow streets and learn more about the history before making our way to Plava Voda for a drink by its springs. 


After Travnik, we’ll make our way to Jajce, famous for its nature and stunning waterfalls. There is ziplining here available for an additional price. In the evening, we will make our way back to Sarajevo where we will host a goodbye dinner for the group.
