MONTENEGRO, BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA

I feel the trip has given me a small insight into the political, cultural and social lives of the people of Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, despite having a beautiful landscape, great weather, good food, a calm people I wonder whether the political stability which is there now will endure.

Most Inspirational Moment

Both home trips to farmsteads were very inspirational. The trip to Lukomir was something special to me (despite stuggling with the altitude!) Sarajevo felt like home only after a couple of days and I was sorry to go.

Thoughts on Group Leader

At first I thought, oh dear, he is young but he proved himself with an easy-going manner, a comprehensive knowledge of all things historical and political, a very good sense of humour and good organizational abilities. It was great to sit in the bus and hear him chat and joke with the driver on our long days driving.

Advice for Potential Travellers

A rain jacket isn´t really required in July even though it´s in the notes!

Fantastically well organised trip with excellent local guides.

Most Inspirational Moment

Great to have meals prepared by local people in stunning surroundings. Exodus do this very well and it helps to boost local economy.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent and extremely good historical knowledge. Handled a problem with one of our group who had breathing difficulties very well.

MONTENEGRO, BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA

An excellent, varied tour – which was unexpectedly surprising in its beauty. A very friendly, fun bunch of travellers. Balanced – a good mix of city, mountains, walking, history and scenery.

Most Inspirational Moment

The time spent in Mostar was superb. There is a lovely coffee/bar called The Terrace which is definitely worth visiting for the view.Our picnic on the mountain was one of my favorite moments...

Thoughts on Group Leader

Lorenc was 5* and superb on so many fronts. His knowledge of the countries - history, flora, fauna, geography, his ability to take away all our hassles and make the holiday so easy to be on, responsiveness to feedback (hotels, aircon) and ability to quickly change things, sense of fun, wit and humour - which he had to have as we enjoyed teasing him a lot. Overall, a wonderful, generous warm human being with a very kind heart - and one of the best guides I have encountered through my numerous travels. I felt fresh and revitalised on return - and more content than I expected - thank you.Sejo - our driver was also excellent - and very fun.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Go for it - book the tour! Be prepared for a few long drives - bring your music/book/games.Buy all your jewellery in Sarajevo and Mostar - its more expensive in Dubrovnik.There is very little time in Dubrovnik - so if you want to see it, suggest an extra night or two.

MONTENEGRO, BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA

Excellent trip highly recommend. Some walking but not to difficult. Very caring guide who is kind hearted and makes sure the whole group is happy.

Beautiful country side. Some hotels could be better, but there are still scars of the war so some buildings need TLC

Food is excellent although Dubrovnik is quite expensive and very touristic. Highly recommend trip

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing the locals making and selling local crafts in Sarajevo Monastery where monks still live and make wine Hill walking and having lunch with the locals The waterfall

MONTENEGRO, BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA

Montenegro and Bosnia & Herzegovina are stunning countries with plenty of history, lots to do and see, friendly people and beautiful outdoor landscapes. Make sure you can cope with the summer heat (the hat & gloves were misnomers in the trip notes) and be aware that the design of the trip does not lend itself to the most active of holidays – so the age group is likely to be an older profile (although the outdoor activities and opportunities in both countries are fab so Exodus are missing a trick here!).

Most Inspirational Moment

Rafting the waters of the Tara River (not included in trip but I did this anyway!), finding out the ins and outs of the Balkans history (both new and old history) and the stunning scenery throughout.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Passionate, well-informed and thoughtful, with a fun personality.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Its very hot in July and August - even in the mountains! Be prepared...Don't expect a huge amount of activity - the walks are all "gentle" and there are some long bus journeys. But you can go rafting independently in Zabljak, very easy to arrange.
