I was using Invicta Travel services during my holidays in Bosnia. last summer and it was exceptional.To be honest, Bosnia was unknown to me and I was really surprised to hear so much information about it’s rich and turbulent history. Guide who took me on the Sarajevo tours was very informative and professional. I highly recommend this company for everyone who’s coming to Bosnia for the first time.

Great guides and service

We took two private tours with “Invicta Travel”

1. Mostor, Konjic & Blagaj

2. Balkins Dark side including the Tunnel of Hope

We were picked up at our accommodation by Edin for both tours.

We had a great tour seeing the sights of Herzegovina and learning the history and hearing the stories about Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The war tour gave us an insight into what it was like to live in Sarajevo during the time of the seige. Edin was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and shared some of his family’s experiences of what it was like to live in Sarajevo during the war and made our trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina a memorable one.

Thanks Edin and Invicta Travel.

If you are considering a trip to Sarajevo Bosnia we would highly recommend “Invicta Travel”

Very good

I visited Bosnia with my family (this was 4 adults and 2 young children).

Had the most amazing time! Our 8 day trip was packed with lots of activities and day trips! Out tour guide Aid was brilliant. He was always on time when picking us up very early in the morning and was very knowledgeable of all the sites we visited in Sarajevo and in other cities which was helpful to understand more about the beautiful country!

Our guide was very friendly, easy-going and flexible and left us to it when we wanted to be alone and when we needed him, he was always there to pick us up and assist with any problems.

Our time included visiting Mostar. The journey took roughly 3 hours but the scenery was lovely and Aid was a very safe driver.

Would highly recommend Invicta Travels.

Can’t wait to return!

  • You will surely have a great first overnight in Sarajevo. After a nice Bosnian breakfast, our guide will meet you in the lobby. It is time to start exploring the city.
 
  • Sightseeing starts from the Sebilj. A famous wooden fountain located in the heart of Bascarija – Old town. Strolling down through the streets from XVI century, don’t be surprised if it remind  you to  Istanbul. You will find yourself in the middle of Ottoman architecture with small coffeehouses craftsman’s shops and the smell of food and coffee. The old Stay In, Coppersmith street, Gazy Husrev- bey’s Mosque, Library, Clock tower, Old bazar Bezistan are just some of the highlights of this Ottoman area.
 
  • Suddenly at some point you will realize scenery around you is completely different. You are standing at the point where East meet West. There is no other European city that has exact line of meetings of two cultures: Western and Orient. Make a step from Istanbul to Vienna.  
 
  • Let’s find out why Sarajevo is often called “Jerusalem of Europe”. At very small area there is at least half a dozen places of worship of four religious: Islam, Judaism, Catholicism and Eastern Orthodox Church. The sound of church bell mix with a call for prayer by muezzin.
 
  • One of the most famous spots is the place of Assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife in 1914. This led to the First World War and shaped the history of Europe forever. You can stand at this very place.
 
  • 1425 days – 3 years, 10 months and 24 days. That’s how long Sarajevo was under the siege in early ’90. It is pretty incredible that both first and last most important events of the 20th century happened in this very city.
 
  • The walking tour finish by the Eternal flame – a monument from the times of Yugoslavia.
 
  • After amazing history lesson, you are heading to the green oasis of Sarajevo – Vrelo Bosne. Source of river Bosna is a perfect place to escape the city crowd.

Our guide will meet you at the end of the ride to take you back to your hotel. A perfect end of the Sarajevo tour. Overnight at 4* hotel in Sarajevo.
 

Day 3 - Mostar, Konjic & Blagaj

  • After the rich breakfast at the hotel, the guide will meet you and take you to the sunny and warm part of our country, Herzegovina.
 
  • Your first stop will be Konjic, small town dating from Ottoman empire. It is located in between mountains, with cristal clear Neretva river. The town used to be famous after its amazing surroundings but from recently there is a new attraction – Tito's atomic shelter.
 
  • Tito's bunker, one of the top secrets of former Yugoslavia, is hidden under the mountain Zlatar, with the deepest of 280 meters underground. The bunker was built for 26 years in secret, with its main purpose to protect Josip Broz Tito, the president of former Yugoslavia, and 350 people from political and state leadership in case of nuclear attack.
 
  • Note* Tito's bunker is included in this stop only upon request.
 
  • After a short coffee break, with a nice view of the Old Ottoman style bridge, you will proceed to Mostar. Camera is a must have. The scenery is breathtaking.
 
  • Mostar is the center of Herzegovina region. After introduction to the history of this region, you are going directly to the worldwide known Old Bridge – Stari Most.
 
  • Stari Most is a 16th century, Ottoman style bridge and Mostar's most notable architectural landmark. Stretching 28 meters across Neretva river, it connect the two sides of the city. It proudly stood there for 427 years, until it was destroyed in 1993 during the Bosnian war. Thanks to postwar restoration efforts,a new bridge was built in 2004.
 
  • Unless you visit Mostar during winter, you will definitely get a chance to watch brave yet talented local men dive off the bridge, plunging 20 meters into the cold river below.  The practice of diving off the bridge started back 1664 and become the tradition for the young man of Mostar. In 1968, the city even held a formal diving competition, which still continues today.
 
  • The walk continues to Koski Pasha Mehmed mosque, built in 1618. It is a simple but pretty mosque. For a small fee you can enter the mosque and even climb the very narrow staircase in the minaret for the most spectacular view of Mostar and the Old Bridge.
 
  • Lunch time? It is your choice ! Lunch beside the Old Bridge or in Blagaj – our next stop? Any choice is just perfect.
 
  • Blagaj , heaven of peace and harmony is just 15 min drive form Mostar. It is an ancient capital of Herzegovina. The Buna spring is simply breathtaking. It is also one of the largest sources of drink water in Europe.
 
  • Next to the water source, is a 16th century Dervish house – Tekke. It is still one of the most mystical places in Bosnia & Herzegovina. The place is still used for dervish gathering but it is also a museum. While being there one can definitely feel the spiritual power of this place.
 
  • Blagaj is a perfect place to end the third day of your Bosnia holiday. It is time to make your self comfortable and drive back to Sarajevo.
 
  • You will be returned to Sarajevo and transferred to your hotel. Overnight in 4* hotel in Sarajevo.
 

Day 4 - Olympic Mountains

  • Breakfast at the hotel. This day you will be taken to the Olympic beauties that surrounds Sarajevo. Igman and Bjelasnica are both just a half an hour drive from Sarajevo. In 1984 Sarajevo was the center of the world.
 
  • Igman was the venue for competitions in Nordic ski disciplines, skiing and biathlon, as well as 70 and 90 meter ski jumps.
 
  • During the summer the mountain offers a multitude of marked cycling trails, as well as places where both athlets and amateurs can play football, wollewball and basketball.
 
  • After Igman, you are heading to Bjelasnica. Mount Bjelasnica with 2,067m hight was named after the white snow cover which remains on its tops until August. During the XIV Winter Olympic Games, Bjelasnica hosted competitions in alpine skiing disciplines for men. Downhill, slalom and giant slalom tracks were built at the time. The entire infrastructure of the ski center and hotel facilities were destroyed during the last war.
 
  • As you will notice, Bjelasnica today is restoring its former glory of an Olympic center. Take a break in a local cafe and enjoy a view of the magnificent nature. You can also take s nice walk through the ski center or even a cable car ride to the top.

Day 5 - Travnik & Jajce

  • Breakfast. The guide will meet you at your hotel to take you to another day trip. This time, you are heading towards central Bosnia. On the way to final destination Jajce, you will make a short break in Travnik.
 
  • Travnik is the Ottoman Viziers capital of Bosnia for 150 years. Travnik’s Old Town has an Ottoman center with mosques, centuries-old buildings and Bosnia’s only sundial. Located over the town, Travnik castle offers you a very nice panoramic view of old Ottoman rooftops. The castle dates back to pre – Ottoman Bosnia when the former Bosnian kingdom ruled the region.
 
  • Just one hour from Travnik, you will arrive to the museum under the open sky – Jajce. Throughout Bosnia’s long history, Jajce has been the home of medieval kings, Ottoman governors, and a range of different ethnic groups, as well as being one of President Tito’s earliest Communist strongholds.
 
  • Pliva falls will welcome you at the entrance of the town. The falls are more than 20 m high, and are at the point where two rivers meet and converge. For a small fee you can get to a viewing platform where you are close enough to feel the spray of the water.
 
  • The walk continues towards Jajce fortress that was once the seat of Bosnia’s medieval kings.  It is located on the top of a hill overlooking the town. Before departure to Pliva lakes, you will see Jajce catacombs. The catacombs were commissioned by a 14th century king, who wanted a resting place for him and his family. They are small, but set across two levels, and are still in excellent condition.
 
  • And for the last stop we left Pliva lakes, an area of stunning natural beauty. A visit to the lakes is a great family activity, or is ideal simply for those looking for a relaxing day by the water.
