A Friendly Look at the Private Split to Dubrovnik Transfer with Mostar Tour
If you’re planning a trip between Split and Dubrovnik, this private transfer combined with a stop in Mostar is worth considering. It offers a hassle-free way to get from one stunning Croatian city to another, with the bonus of exploring a bit of Bosnia and Herzegovina along the way. We haven’t done it ourselves, but from what travelers report, it seems to hit the right notes for comfort and ease.
What we really appreciate about this kind of experience is the door-to-door service, eliminating the worries of navigating public transport or complicated schedules. Plus, the guided tour in Mostar adds a local touch that many travelers find enriching.

The Experience in Detail
Starting in Split, you’ll be picked up and whisked away in a private vehicle, which is a huge plus if you’re traveling with luggage or just prefer comfort. The journey itself is scenic, as you cruise along Croatia’s beautiful coast before crossing into Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is where the experience becomes more than just a transfer — you’ll make a planned stop in Mostar, a city packed with history and lively local culture.
The stop in Mostar is approximately 2.5 hours, giving enough time to explore without feeling rushed. The highlight here is undoubtedly the Old Bridge (Stari Most) — a stunning, centuries-old Ottoman bridge that has become a symbol of the city. You can marvel at its architecture and enjoy the bustling atmosphere surrounding it, with plenty of shops and cafes nearby. The tour includes a guided local guide, which means you’ll get insights about the city’s past and present, making the visit more meaningful.
One of the best things about the guided tour in Mostar is the personal touch. We read from a review that the experience is “very informative,” and that the guide’s local knowledge made the city’s history come alive. There’s no admission fee for the main sights, so it’s a straightforward stop, but the guide’s commentary adds depth to what you’d see on your own.
Once you finish exploring Mostar, you’ll continue your journey to Dubrovnik. The transfer service promises a seamless, door-to-door ride, meaning you won’t have to worry about navigating borders or multiple connections. This can be a lifesaver, especially if you’re arriving after a long flight or have limited time in the region.
