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!
Arnela’s tour was outstanding! She’s extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history and culture of Mostar and it was amazing how much information she shared in just a few hours. I learned a tremendous amount from her and thoroughly enjoyed our walk through town. I highly recommend Arnela’s tour to anyone who wants to understand more about Mostar as well as Bosnia & Herzegovina in general.
This is one of the best walking tours I’ve ever attended! Our guide Sheva/Shevket was born and raised in Mostar, has a great deal of knowledge about not only Mostar, but Bosnia& and Herzegovina and the former state of Yugoslavia as well. If you are curious about the history of Mostar and Bosnia and Herzegovina, I highly recommend you to participate in this tour. Hvala sam Shevket, vidimo se!
Arnela was a very dedicated guide talking about history in detail and with passion.
Excellent tour with Arlena. Really enjoyed it, so much information and the 2.5 hours flew by.
Arnela’s tour of Mostar was absolutely amazing. She was so professional and impressive, her knowledge of the country’s history was huge. The tour was fun and moving all in one. She had great food recommendations and told us about local customs. This tour will definitely be one to remember for a long time. Thanks Arnela!
