Local Guides: Hiring a guide is an excellent investment to help you understand Mostar.
I've enjoyed working with Alma Elezovi ć , a warm-hearted Bosniak who loves sharing
hercity andherwartime stories with visitors (€20/person,upto€70/groupfor2-3-hour
tour, mobile [phone], http://almasguidedtours.blogspot.com ,
[e-mail] ). If Alma is busy, she may send you with her son Jaz (pro-
nounced“yahz”), awell-trained guidewhospeaksperfect English andoffersayounger
generation's perspective. Other companies around town can arrange for a local guide at
extremely reasonable prices (2-hour tour—€30/2 people, €40/4 people, includes entry
to mosque and/or Turkish house); try Fortuna Tours, listed previously.
Local Driver: Ermin Elezovi ć , husband of local guide Alma (see above), is a gregarious,
English-speaking driver who enjoys taking visitors on day trips from Mostar. You
can also hire him for a transfer between Mostar and destinations anywhere in Croatia
