When should I purchase my airline ticket?
We always encourage everyone to book their flights as soon as possible. Many airlines tend to increase their fare as the plane fills up and early reservations are usually rewarded with the lowest fares.

We expect all tour participants to have comprehensive travel insurance covering any medical situation, hospitalisation, cancellation and loss of your baggage.
What weather & temperatures/conditions should I expect?
The climate is Mediterranean in the small stretch of plain near the sea (see Mostar), it is colder and more continental in Dinaric Alps, mainly because of altitude. The temperatures in spring are usually warm and pleasant.
