I was born and raised in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Over the course of over 40 years, I have experienced the many changes which have occurred in my country. I grew up in Yugoslavia. I came of age during its violent dissolution during the wars of the 1990s and fought for my country. I have witnessed and felt the changes that followed the country's early years of independence. One thing that has not changed is my love for Mostar - the people, place, and culture.
I channeled this love, knowledge, and experience into the development of Sheva Walking Tours. Our tours are immersive and engaging, with the goal of not just presenting our past, but explaining the present from a local perspective and with the hope of dispelling the misconceptions associated with Mostar and the greater Balkan region.
Sheva Walking Tours is a small but growing team of passionate guides who are looking forward to sharing our hometown - past and present - with you. While we offer a range of private tours, our Free Walking Tour of Mostar is our most popular walking tour of Mostar. Currently, four local guides - Sevko, Haris, Mirjana, and Arnela - are leading Sheva's Free Walking Tours of Mostar with another team member working behind the scenes! We are dedicated to providing memorable and meaningful experiences that are accessible and welcome to all visitors, regardless of budget or background. Walk with us for an insiders perspective of Mostar!
The walking tour from Sheva walking tours team member was excellent. It was very interesting and informative. The highlight of our trip to Mostar.
This was an excellent tour. Our guide Arnela explained the very complicated history of her country in a way which was easy to understand. She was passionate and knowledgeable and struck the perfect balance between being engaging and entertaining, whilst treating the (often brutal) subject matter with the sombre sensitivity it deserves. I left the tour with a much deeper understanding of Bosnia & Herzegovina, and of what the people here have been through. Would highly recommend!
Me and my sister work for a tour company around Europe and we do a lot of these walks all around... Arnela was absolutely one of the best guided we have ever met on a tour. Very passionate about her country, made us connect to the past with touching stories, and I can go on and on... Just do not even hesitate and book her tour - you will be grateful forever!!
Divna was such a fantastic guide in Mostar! She made the city’s complex history so easy to understand, from the Ottoman influence to the war in the ’90s and how life is today. Her storytelling really brought the place to life, and you could feel how much she cares about her hometown. She also gave us great local tips and food recommendations—we felt like we got the real Mostar experience. Highly recommend touring with her!
