This was such an interesting tour, spent largely off the typical tourist trail and we couldn't have asked for a better guide in Senad. Our trip to the sand pyramids was interesting: not only were they beautiful, and the trip to them was through stunning mountains and farms, but it also took us through a Chinese-owned coal mine - this development in the country's economy was interesting to see. Nearby Foča was once an important town within the Ottoman Empire, and we saw how the town had changed down the centuries, with its rich history. It once housed an early Ottoman-built mosque, which was completely destroyed during the war of the 1990s; we saw its replacement. We walked around the town and our guide pointed things out to us that we would never have understood: the significance of graffiti, the abundance of VW Golfs, ribbons around trees. It was fascinating to get a glimpse into life in the post-war Republika Srpska; so different to what we'd seen elsewhere. After lunch (in a restaurant favoured by Tito), we went on to Goražde. Again, fascinating. We heard how the city suffered so terribly under siege and saw how resilient and creative the people were in surviving (though many sadly didn't). It's a vibrant, bustling town, very different in feel to Foča just down the road. I can honestly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina. You will learn about the horrors of the 1990s war in the eastern and more rural parts of the country, how the country was divided post-war and the contrast in life for people in both areas. Having such a wonderful guide was so important in helping us understand what we were seeing. This isn't a typical sight-seeing tour, but if want to learn more about how people live, then this is the tour for you. We are so pleased we did it and we will never forget it; it has given us such a better understanding of the social-political challenges within the Balkans.

We were very fortunate to have an excellent guide. His explanations were very interesting but his attention and care were even better at all times. We saw not only the so-called pyramids of Foça but other geomorphological formations, both in remote places outside the most touristic circuits, a real privilege. The visit to the city of Foça was wonderful, we walked it without haste, with lunch break in an idyllic place. The visit to Gorazde was exciting because we remembered the terrible siege that befell the city during the war, and in closing we returned to Sarajevo by the (unpaved) road that was used during the war to connect Gorazde with Sarajevo, the two besieged cities. After visiting Bosnia and Herzegovina’s most touristic places like Mostar and Jajce, this tour is the one I liked the most of all and the one I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to know Bosnia, both its incredibly beautiful nature and its recent history.

What to expect

Sand Pyramids

Rare nature phenomenon in form of sand pyramids are more than 200 hundred years old and unlike those in Colorado, Đavolije Varoši in Serbia and the Dolomites in Italy, which have long been know attractions, these near the town Foca, are not yet. The specificity of the sand pyramids is that they become bigger and bigger over time. Due to the erosion of the sand from the base, the body of the pyramids itself is getting bigger every day. Although they do not grow, their height increases.
