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!
If you're visiting Mostar just to see the bridge and snap a few photos, you'll miss the soul of this city. I almost did, until I joined Sheva's free tour, and it turned into the most memorable experience of my entire time in Bosnia and Herzegovina. What makes Sheva extraordinary is how he brings history to life. He walks with a tablet full of old photos, maps showing how borders and ethnic distributions shifted over decades, and black-and-white images of Mostar in the old days. He doesn't just rattle off facts. He explains how people preserve the old town in details that you'd never notice on your own. If you're in Mostar, don't just see the bridge. Take Sheva's tour. Let him show you what this city really is.
Highly recommend! Sheva was a lovely, friendly, and respectful tour guide who really cares about his city.
Sheva is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the subject of the tour. He is also friendly and attentive to people on the tour. If you are looking to understand the cultural and religious history that have shaped this region as well as a first hand war experience this tour is one for you.
