Arrive in Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) to your hotel in Dubrovnik
- Welcome dinner
- Nuit : Dubrovnik
- Environ 30 min de route
Fly into Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) at Čilipi, about 20 km south-east of the old town. A driver meets you whatever time you land and takes you to a central hotel for two nights.
Soir
Plan to land by about 4 pm if you want to join the evening walk; the exact time is confirmed with your final itinerary. In the early evening your See Sight Tours guide meets the group for a short briefing on the twelve days ahead: three countries, three border crossings, what the mountain days in Durmitor are like and how the walking is paced. Then we walk in through the Pile Gate and down the Stradun, the polished limestone main street, after the day visitors and cruise passengers have gone and the stone starts to glow in the low light. Dinner is together at a restaurant in or near the old town, a first taste of Dalmatian fish, olive oil and local wine.
Compris
- Pick-up at Dubrovnik Airport (DBV), whatever time you land
- Welcome briefing with your guide
- Evening walk through the Pile Gate and along the Stradun
- Welcome dinner
Temps libre : Free until the early-evening briefing
Dubrovnik: the walls at opening
Dubrovnik old town on foot
- Petit-déjeuner
- Nuit : Dubrovnik
We are at the city walls when they open, around 8 am in the main season, to walk the full circuit of about 2 km before the heat and the cruise crowds. The walk looks down on terracotta roofs, the old harbour and Lokrum island, and climbs to the Minčeta Tower, the highest point. Afterwards a licensed local guide takes us through the old town at street level: the Rector's Palace, the Sponza Palace, the Franciscan monastery with a pharmacy working since the 14th century, and the stories of the 1991 to 1992 siege that you can still read in the patched roof tiles.
Matin
The tour ends by late morning.
Soir
Lunch and the afternoon are yours: swim off the rocks below the walls, take the small boat to Lokrum, or ride the cable car up Mount Srđ for the view back over the city at sunset. Your guide suggests places to eat away from the Stradun prices.
Compris
- Dubrovnik city walls at opening, full circuit (ticket included)
- Old town walk with a licensed local guide: the Rector's Palace, the Sponza Palace and the Franciscan monastery
Activités en option
- Boat to Lokrum island
- Mount Srđ cable car
- Sea kayaking below the walls
Option plus facile : Walk the walls from the Pile Gate as far as the Minčeta Tower and leave at the next exit; the steps are steepest on the land side.
Option plus active : Walk up Mount Srđ on the zigzag path (about 400 m of climb) in the late afternoon and take the cable car down.
Temps libre : Afternoon and evening free
Activité : The walls involve a lot of steps and little shade. Go early, bring water and a hat.
Into Herzegovina: Počitelj and Mostar
Dubrovnik north along the coast, across the border to Počitelj, then Mostar
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Mostar
- Environ 3 h de route
We leave Dubrovnik at about 8:30 am and drive north along the coast, then turn inland at the Neretva delta, where the river reaches the sea through orchards and mandarin groves. The border into Bosnia and Herzegovina is at Metković and Doljani; waits are usually short but can run to an hour on summer weekends, so we leave a margin. The first stop is Počitelj, a fortified Ottoman village stacked up a hillside above the Neretva. Climb the stone steps past the 16th-century Hajji Alija mosque to the round tower at the top for the view down the valley.
Après-midi
Lunch is a sit-down meal in the valley, then it is half an hour on to Mostar, where we stay two nights. In the late afternoon a local guide walks us through the old town to the Old Bridge, rebuilt in 2004 after its destruction in 1993, and you may see a diver jump from it into the river, about 20 metres below.
Compris
- Počitelj: the old village, the mosque and the tower viewpoint
- Sit-down lunch in the Neretva valley
- Mostar old town walk with a local guide: the Old Bridge (Stari Most) and the old bazaar
Temps libre : Evening free in Mostar
Activité : Počitelj is all steep stone steps and uneven paving; the climb to the tower is optional. Border waits are added to the drive time.
Mostar early, then Blagaj
Mostar old town, then Blagaj and back
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Mostar
- Environ 30 min de route
Matin
Mostar fills with day visitors from the coast from late morning, so we go out early. At 8 am the Old Bridge is nearly empty, and the light comes down the Neretva gorge onto the white stone. Climb the minaret of the Koski Mehmed Pasha mosque for a view down onto the bridge, then walk the lanes of the Kujundžiluk, the old coppersmiths' street, as the shops open. Mid-morning we drive twenty minutes to Blagaj, where the Buna river rises fully formed from a cave at the foot of a 200-metre cliff. Beside the spring stands the tekke, an Ottoman-era dervish house that you can visit inside.
Après-midi
Lunch is a long one on a terrace over the water, where trout from the river is the local dish.
Soir
Back in Mostar by mid-afternoon, the rest of the day is free; the walk along the east bank at sunset gives a good view of the bridge from below.
Compris
- The Old Bridge at 8 am, before the day visitors
- Koski Mehmed Pasha mosque and minaret
- Blagaj: the Buna spring and the dervish house (tekke)
- Sit-down lunch by the Buna river
Activités en option
- Kravica waterfall, about 40 km away, for a swim in summer
- Museum of the Old Bridge
- War Photo Exhibition
Option plus facile : Skip the minaret climb (narrow spiral steps) and watch the bridge from a café on the west bank.
Option plus active : Climb from Blagaj village to the ruins of Stjepan Grad fortress above the spring, about an hour up on a rough path.
Temps libre : Afternoon and evening free
Activité : Remove shoes and cover shoulders and knees in the mosque and the tekke; scarves are lent at the door.
Up the Neretva to Sarajevo
Mostar to Jablanica, then Sarajevo
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Sarajevo
- Environ 2.5 h de route
We follow the Neretva north through its gorge, the river running green between steep limestone walls and the lakes behind its dams. The first stop is Jablanica, where the wreck of the railway bridge blown up in the 1943 Battle of the Neretva still lies in the river beside a small museum.
Après-midi
Jablanica is known across Bosnia for lamb roasted on the spit, and that is lunch: a sit-down meal at a roadside restaurant, a Neretva valley custom. From there the road climbs past Konjic and over the Ivan pass to Sarajevo, about two and a half hours of driving in all. We reach Sarajevo in the mid-afternoon and check in for two nights. In the late afternoon your guide walks you through Baščaršija, the Ottoman bazaar quarter, past the Sebilj fountain and the Gazi Husrev-beg mosque, then along Ferhadija street, where the Ottoman city turns into an Austro-Hungarian one at a line marked on the pavement.
Compris
- Jablanica: the Neretva bridge wreck and the museum
- Sit-down spit-roast lamb lunch in Jablanica
- Orientation walk in Sarajevo: Baščaršija, the Sebilj fountain, the Gazi Husrev-beg mosque and Ferhadija
Temps libre : Evening free in Sarajevo
Sarajevo: the siege and the city
Sarajevo, the Tunnel of Hope and Trebević
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Sarajevo
- Environ 30 min de route
Matin
This morning a licensed local guide takes us through the siege of 1992 to 1996, the longest of a capital city in modern European history. We drive along the boulevard once known as Sniper Alley to Butmir, where the Tunnel of Hope museum keeps a short section of the 800-metre tunnel dug under the airport runway in 1993, the city's lifeline for food, fuel and people. Back in the centre we stop at the Latin Bridge, where Archduke Franz Ferdinand was shot on 28 June 1914, and at the City Hall, burned with the National Library in 1992 and reopened in 2014.
Après-midi
Lunch is at an aščinica, a Bosnian home-cooking canteen. The afternoon is free. The Trebević cable car, reopened in 2018, climbs to the mountain and the graffiti-covered bobsled track from the 1984 Winter Olympics, a good walk in the late light.
Compris
- Siege of Sarajevo tour with a local guide
- Tunnel of Hope museum
- The Latin Bridge and the City Hall (Vijećnica)
- Sit-down lunch at a traditional aščinica
- Trebević cable car ticket
Activités en option
- Gallery 11/07/95, on the Srebrenica genocide
- The Jewish Museum in the old synagogue
- A Bosnian coffee and sweets tasting
Temps libre : Afternoon and evening free
Activité : The siege tour is detailed and can be upsetting; your guide answers questions openly.
Over the mountains to Durmitor
Sarajevo to Foča, across the border at Šćepan Polje, up the Piva canyon to Žabljak
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Žabljak
- Environ 4.5 h de route
Soir
This is the long day, and the one the route cannot avoid: there is no faster road from Sarajevo into the Durmitor mountains, and an overnight on the way would add a one-night stop. It is about 185 km and four and a half hours of driving, so we break it into short pieces. We leave at 8:30 am, drive south through Foča and cross into Montenegro at Šćepan Polje, a small border post where the Tara and Piva rivers meet; waits are usually short but vary. The road then climbs the Piva canyon through a string of rough-hewn rock tunnels above the green water. Lunch is a sit-down meal near Plužine, beside Piva lake. In the afternoon we climb onto the open plateau, with wide views across the high pastures, and reach Žabljak, at about 1,450 metres one of the highest towns in the Balkans, in time for a walk before dinner together.
Compris
- Drive through the Piva canyon with photo stops
- Sit-down lunch near Plužine and Piva lake
- Dinner together in Žabljak
Temps libre : Late afternoon free in Žabljak
Activité : Longest drive of the trip, over the 4-hour cap because no shorter road reaches Durmitor; it is broken by the border, photo stops and a sit-down lunch. The plateau road is narrow and closes with snow, which is why the trip runs from late May to early October.
Durmitor: Black Lake and the Tara Canyon
Žabljak to the Black Lake, then the Đurđevića Tara bridge
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Žabljak
- Environ 1 h de route
Durmitor National Park, listed by UNESCO in 1980, is limestone peaks, glacial lakes and pine forest, with the Tara river canyon cut into its edge.
Matin
We start on foot from Žabljak's edge at the Black Lake (Crno jezero), about 3.5 km around on a forest path, with Međed peak reflected in the water in the still morning. A local mountain guide joins us for the day. Mid-morning we drive about 25 km to the Đurđevića Tara bridge, a concrete arch finished in 1940 that crosses the canyon about 170 metres above the river; the Tara canyon is among the deepest in Europe.
Après-midi
Lunch is a sit-down meal of mountain food (lamb, kačamak polenta, cheese and kajmak) at a farm or restaurant near the canyon. Back in Žabljak by mid-afternoon, the rest of the day is yours.
Compris
- Walk around the Black Lake with a local mountain guide
- The Đurđevića Tara bridge and canyon viewpoints
- Durmitor National Park entry
- Sit-down mountain lunch near the Tara canyon
Activités en option
- Zipline across the Tara canyon at the bridge
- Half-day rafting on the Tara (season and water level permitting)
Option plus facile : Walk only part of the lake path and wait for the group at the lakeside café.
Option plus active : A half-day guided hike from the Black Lake on the marked trails into the high pastures, about 12 km with 500 m of climb, in place of the morning loop; the route is set on the day by the weather.
Temps libre : Afternoon and evening free
Activité : Žabljak sits at about 1,450 m, so mornings and evenings are cool even in summer; bring a warm layer and a rain jacket.
Down to the sea: Perast and Kotor
Žabljak to Nikšić and Risan, then Perast and Kotor
- Petit-déjeuner et repas du midi
- Nuit : Kotor
- Environ 3.5 h de route
Matin
We leave the mountains after breakfast and drive about three and a half hours south: through Šavnik and the karst country around Nikšić, then down a long descent until the Bay of Kotor appears below, deep blue between grey mountain walls. At Risan we reach the water and follow it to Perast, a small baroque town of sea captains' palaces. A boat takes us across to Our Lady of the Rocks, the island church built by Perast's sailors on a reef they raised from the sea, with a museum of votive silver plaques and paintings inside.
Après-midi
Lunch is a sit-down meal on the Perast waterfront. Then it is twenty minutes along the shore to Kotor, where we stay three nights inside or beside the walled old town, listed by UNESCO in 1979 together with the bay.
Soir
The evening is free to wander the lanes once the cruise passengers have left.
Compris
- Boat from Perast to Our Lady of the Rocks, with entry to the church museum
- Perast waterfront walk
- Sit-down lunch in Perast
Temps libre : Evening free in Kotor
Kotor old town and a free afternoon
Kotor on foot
- Petit-déjeuner
- Nuit : Kotor
Matin
Kotor's old town is small enough to walk end to end in ten minutes, and it is busiest from mid-morning when cruise passengers come ashore, so our walk with a local guide starts at 8 am. We go in by the Sea Gate, through the Square of Arms to the Cathedral of St Tryphon, consecrated in 1166, and through the small squares named after flour, milk and the old seafarers' guilds, to the Maritime Museum in a baroque palace, which tells the story of the Boka sailors you met in Perast. By late morning the tour is over, and the rest of the day is free: a coffee on a square, a swim at a small beach along the bay, or a sea kayak trip.
Soir
If you want the view of the whole bay, the climb to the St John fortress is best in the early evening light, when the stone has cooled.
Compris
- Kotor old town walk with a local guide at 8 am
- Cathedral of St Tryphon
- Maritime Museum of Montenegro
- St John fortress ticket, for whenever you climb
Activités en option
- Sea kayaking on the bay
- A small-boat trip to the Blue Cave on the Luštica peninsula
Option plus facile : Stay at street level: the old town, the museum and a café on the Square of Arms.
Option plus active : Climb the walls to the St John fortress, about 1,350 steps and 260 metres up, in the early evening; your guide goes with anyone who wants to.
Temps libre : Afternoon and evening free
Activité : The fortress steps are uneven and polished; wear shoes with grip.
Lovćen, Cetinje and the Budva coast
Kotor up the serpentine to Njeguši and Lovćen, then Cetinje, Budva and back to Kotor
- Petit-déjeuner, repas du midi et repas du soir
- Nuit : Kotor
- Environ 3 h de route
Matin
After breakfast we drive the old road out of Kotor, 25 hairpin bends up the mountain wall, stopping where the whole bay opens below. At the top is Njeguši, a stone village known for smoked ham and cheese, where we stop for a tasting. Then we climb into Lovćen National Park to the mausoleum of Petar II Petrović Njegoš, prince-bishop and poet, on Jezerski vrh at about 1,657 metres; 461 steps through a tunnel lead to a viewpoint where on a clear day you see much of Montenegro.
Après-midi
Lunch is in Cetinje, the old royal capital, followed by Cetinje Monastery and King Nikola's palace. In the afternoon we drive down to the coast with the Budva Riviera below and stop in Budva's walled old town before returning to Kotor, about three hours of driving in all.
Soir
The farewell dinner is in Kotor tonight.
Compris
- The Kotor serpentine road with viewpoint stops
- Njeguši ham and cheese tasting
- Lovćen National Park and the Njegoš Mausoleum
- Sit-down lunch in Cetinje
- Cetinje Monastery and King Nikola's Museum
- Short stop in Budva old town
- Farewell dinner in Kotor
Option plus facile : Skip the 461 steps to the mausoleum and wait at the café by the car park, which has its own view.
Temps libre : Late afternoon free before dinner
Activité : The serpentine road is narrow with tight bends; take motion sickness tablets if you need them.
Back to Dubrovnik
Kotor around the bay to Herceg Novi, across the border, to Dubrovnik Airport (DBV)
- Petit-déjeuner
- Environ 2 h de route
Matin
A last breakfast on the bay, then we leave Kotor at about 9 am and drive around the inner bay through Risan and Morinj to Herceg Novi, then cross back into Croatia at Debeli Brijeg and Karasovići. This is the busiest of the three crossings in summer, and it is a Schengen external border, so passports are checked on both sides; allow time.
Après-midi
From the border it is about twenty minutes through the Konavle valley to Dubrovnik Airport, about 75 km and one and three-quarter hours of driving in all, so we expect to arrive around midday or a little later. Your guide sees you to the terminal. Book a flight leaving after about 2 pm. If you fly out of Tivat (TIV), 8 km from Kotor, we drop you there instead; if you are staying on in Dubrovnik, we take you to your hotel.
Compris
- Drive around the inner Bay of Kotor
- Drop-off at Dubrovnik Airport (DBV), Tivat Airport (TIV) or a Dubrovnik hotel
Activité : Book a flight from Dubrovnik leaving after about 2 pm; border waits in July and August can be long.

Faune et météo : July and August are hot on the coast and in Mostar, often over 35°C, and the busiest months in Dubrovnik and Kotor, so we start early and keep the middle of the day free. Late May, June and September are the best balance. Durmitor is much cooler, with snow possible into May and from October, which closes the plateau road and sets the season.

Questions
What does the price include?
Eleven nights in central hotels, 11 breakfasts, 8 sit-down lunches and 3 dinners, airport pick-up and drop-off, our own vehicle and driver for the whole route, your See Sight Tours guide throughout, local guides in each city, and every entry in the day plan, including the Dubrovnik walls, the Tunnel of Hope, the Perast boat, the Kotor fortress and Lovćen.
How big is the group?
Seven to twelve guests, never more, and we do not merge groups. Everyone fits in one vehicle, crosses a border quickly and sits at one table at lunch, and a small group can be on the Dubrovnik walls or Mostar's bridge before the crowds.
Who leads the trip?
A See Sight Tours guide travels with the group for all twelve days, across all three borders. Licensed local guides join us in Dubrovnik, Mostar, Sarajevo, Durmitor and Kotor, and a licensed local guide leads the siege tour in Sarajevo. We name your guide when we confirm your departure.
How fit do I need to be?
Moderate. You should be happy walking two to three hours a day on cobbles, steps and forest paths, at about 1,450 m in Durmitor. The longest climbs, the Kotor fortress and the Durmitor hike, are optional, and the Dubrovnik walls and Lovćen steps each have an easier way to sit part of them out.
I'm travelling solo. Is there a single supplement?
Yes, a fixed one: a room of your own is from CAD 700 more, shown before you book, with no surprise later. Solo guests get the same room standard and the same seat at the table as everyone else. Ask if you would like us to try to match you with a roommate of the same gender.
When is the best time to go?
Late May, June and September give warm days, swimmable sea and fewer crowds. July and August are hot and busy on the coast, so we start early. The trip runs from late May to early October because the Durmitor plateau road can be closed by snow outside those months.
How does booking work?
Choose a departure and send a request to book. We check hotel and guide availability and confirm your place within 24 hours. No payment is taken when you request; we send the payment details and terms with the confirmation, and your price is fixed from then.
Can I travel on my own dates?
Yes. The private version runs for your party only on a date you choose, from CAD 7,435 per person sharing. If you would rather travel independently, without a guide, ask us from the dates section and we will quote the same hotels, drivers and local guides as a separate itinerary.
Do I need a visa for Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro?
Not for Canadian, US, UK or EU passports on a short stay. Croatia is in the Schengen area, so the EU Entry/Exit System registers you on arrival, and the ETIAS travel authorisation is expected to apply once it starts. Check your passport has at least six months left and two blank pages.
How long are the border crossings?
There are three: Croatia to Bosnia and Herzegovina on day 3, Bosnia to Montenegro at Šćepan Polje on day 7, and Montenegro back to Croatia on day 12. Most take minutes, but summer queues can reach an hour or more, so the drive times already allow for a wait.
Is Bosnia and Herzegovina safe to visit?
Yes. Sarajevo and Mostar are lively, welcoming cities with plenty of visitors. The one real caution is that some rural areas still have landmines from the 1990s war; they are marked, and we stay on paved roads and well-used paths, as everyone should.
Why are Split and Plitvice not on this trip?
We kept this trip to Dubrovnik and the inland Balkans so no stop is a single night and the drives stay short. Split, Hvar and the Plitvice Lakes are on our separate Croatia trip from Zagreb to Dubrovnik, which you can combine with this one in Dubrovnik.
