Testimonials

Hiking with Miroslav on Prenj mountain was a wonderful experience. We hope to come back next year to visit Blidinje Nature Park.

John GarrisonCustomer

We were group of four and took a tour with Miroslav to Velez mountain. From Brasina peak we enjoyed wonderful views of whole Herzegovina and even catched a glimpse of Mediterranean sea in the distance. This was a highlight of our trip to BIH

Ralph BergerCustomer

Miroslav and I went on 1 day hike on Prenj. He was very fast and clear in communication and arranging logistics. He showed to be very familiar and knowledgeable about the mountain area. Prenj was definitely one of the most beautiful mountains I have seen

RenataCustomer

Best Holliday Adventure! From Mostar we went to a nearby mountain with Miroslav to hike River Bijela Canyon. Such a nice tour, colorful forest, perfectly clean river and in the end a treat, cute little waterfall. Thank you Miroslav!

My brother and I had a great two days of hiking with Miroslav. The routes were varied but equally beautiful, matched my expectations in terms of difficulty and Miroslav patiently answered all my brother’s questions on the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina
