This homestay greatly exceeded expectations! The family that provides accommodations and activities in this homestay are extraordinary! The warmth, joy, intelligence and caring expressed during our stay to everyone in our group was exemplary. The accommodations were beautiful and large providing a comfortable home base. The meals were excellent and ample throughout the week, exposing us to local cuisine and customs. The fascinating oral history and family stories provided by the family made it possible to understand the ancient history of the region but also the tragedies of the recent past in the Bosnian wars.

I especially like the small groups and local experiences with local guides and naturalists. There is good balance between travel, local activities/sightseeing and free time. The accommodation,, transportation and some meals works well.

Shannon P. - Traveled, September 2023
It allowed me to travel solo without being on my own and without having to plan too much ahead. There was a lovely mix of experiences and the guide and host family were kind and helpful. The only caveat is you need to be comfortable sharing a room as there were no single bed rooms, only double bed for double the price if you'd prefer your own room.

Alexandra P. - Traveled, September 2023
Everything! For one, as a just lightly experienced international traveler and first time group traveler, I felt immense comfort at knowing that I wasn't ?alone?. For planning purposes, in event of emergencies, and for companionship, I really enjoyed the experience of group travel with G. Specific to this trip, I was thoroughly pleased with our guide, our hosts, and our itinerary. It was well balanced, locally focused, well informed, and super fun!
