“I loved this tour. The waterfalls are stunning. In October, I was fortunate it was sunny so I went for a swim. While the water was cold, the sun was warm. Even if I hadn’t been able to swim, it would have still been breathtaking to experience how stunning nature is! Pocitelj is a beautiful place with stunning views of the river below. We stayed in Mostar for 3 hours. What a beautiful place! We ate at a wonderful restaurant, the food was delicious, portions were big and very reasonably priced! Everyone was lovely. Our guide Milko suggested the restaurant and I am glad he did. We were a small…”

“It was a fun trip! I was a little concerned about the heavy, just-fallen snow, but the driver was very careful and obviously very experienced. And by going in the winter we arrived at the falls in the dark—magical!”

Dubrovnik: Mostar & Kravica Waterfalls Day Trip

9.Mostar & Kravica Waterfalls Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,970 reviews · 12 hours · from $35

Travel from Dubrovnik into Bosnia and Herzegovina with a lively English-speaking guide such as Matija or Mirta. See Mostar’s Old Bridge with a local guide, enjoy about two hours of free time, then visit Kravica Waterfalls for photos, rest, or a swim. The 12-hour trip includes transport, pickup, and drop-off, but not entry fees.

“It was a great day. We loved Mostar and the waterfalls at Kravice. They are beautiful. Matija was an amazing guide. He gave us interesting information without an overload but with some humour. He was kind and friendly. Our driver was great too. We did feel that 3 hours in Mostar was a bit long as we only then just had one hour at thé waterfalls so not much time for swimming, especially with the walk down and back up again. We loved it and the drive back along the coast at sunset mode the day even moré magical. Note: it isn’t a practical trip for people with reduced mobility.”

From New York City: Niagara Falls One Day Tour

13.From New York City: Niagara Falls One Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,138 reviews · 22 - 23 hours · from $180

Spend about five hours at Niagara Falls with Royal City Tours, visiting Goat Island, Luna Island, American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Horseshoe Falls. The Maid of the Mist boat ride is the big thrill when operating, while guides such as Brian, Richard, Joel, and Adolfo add local stories. Expect a very long bus journey, limited free time, and seasonal fireworks.

“The trip was excellent. The bus was a bit inconvenient and it’s a long trip from NYC but it was okay. We had a lovely guide from the Niagara Falls but after the boat we decided to go to the Canada’s side to see the waterfalls. It was totally worth it. If I could I would spent more time there, it should be more free time to explore cause because of that we had to decide whether to stay with the guide on the American side or go to Canada. Overall it was a pleasant trip, it’s worth to see the falls ;)”
