Two countries, three islands and the most beautiful stretch of the Adriatic come together on this 10 Days Croatia and Bosnia Tour — a guided journey from Zagreb through the heart of Bosnia to Sarajevo and Mostar, down to Dubrovnik and Split, then island-hopping by ferry and catamaran from Brač to Hvar and Korčula before returning to Dubrovnik. It is planned and supported by IMAD Travel, an IATA-certified travel agency in Hyderabad serving travellers from across India since 2011. Prefer to travel at your own pace?

Hotels with buffet breakfast, the arrival transfer, five dinners, the coach with an English-speaking guide, guided tours of Zagreb, Sarajevo, Dubrovnik, Split and Korčula, the boat to Lokrum, three island ferries, a wine tasting on Pelješac, and tickets to the Jajce waterfall, the Franciscan Monastery and Cathedral in Dubrovnik, Diocletian’s Palace and the Jakšić Gallery on Brač are arranged before you leave.
The tour starts in Zagreb, where you are met and taken to your hotel. In the afternoon a local guide shows you the city’s two historic hills — Gradec and Kaptol — with the cathedral, the colourful roof of St Mark’s Church and the lanes of the upper town, then the Austro-Hungarian boulevards and squares of the lower town. The first evening ends with dinner, a chance to meet the group.
An early start takes you across the border into Bosnia and Herzegovina, through landscapes that still carry the memory of the 1990s war. In Banja Luka, the second city of Bosnia, there is time to see the fortress and Orthodox cathedral and to have lunch. Then comes Jajce, often called the most beautiful town in Bosnia, where a waterfall drops right into the river below the old fortress and mosque (entry included). You reach Sarajevo in the evening and can stroll through the Baščaršija bazaar, the old Ottoman market of coppersmiths and coffee houses, before dinner.
The morning guided tour explains why Sarajevo is called the Jerusalem of Europe: mosques, Orthodox and Catholic churches and synagogues stand within a short walk of each other, around a mosque more than 500 years old and the much-photographed Sebilj fountain. The road south follows a valley of great natural beauty to Mostar, where the elegant Old Bridge arches over the emerald Neretva river, linking the town’s communities. After free time for lunch and photos, you cross into Croatia and reach Dubrovnik in the evening for dinner.
Dubrovnik, the Pearl of the Adriatic, sits on a cliff behind mighty stone walls. A local guide leads you through its old town, a jewel of world heritage, with tickets to the Franciscan Monastery, home to the oldest working pharmacy in Europe, and the Cathedral of the Assumption, after a stop at a viewpoint above the city. A 15-minute boat ride takes you to Lokrum, a green island with the ruins of an 11th-century Benedictine monastery, used as a filming location for Game of Thrones (the boat runs from April to October). The rest of the day is free, and dinner is included. On some dates the hotel is in Cavtat, a pretty harbour town nearby.
The coast road north passes island-dotted seascapes to Ston, whose walls are among the longest fortifications in the world, and crosses the Pelješac Bridge high above the sea. You reach Split at midday, where a local guide takes you inside Diocletian’s Palace — a 1,700-year-old Roman emperor’s residence whose courtyards and lanes are still full of homes, cafés and shops. Dinner is included.
From Split a ferry carries you to Brač, an island of olive groves, dry-stone walls and the white stone used across the Adriatic. In Donji Humac you visit the Jakšić Gallery of local sculpture (entry included), and a traditional Croatian brunch at a family konoba is planned in the itinerary (we confirm this at booking). The road climbs to Vidova Gora, the highest point of all the Adriatic islands, with a view down to the famous Zlatni Rat beach, before you settle into Bol for the night. The next morning is free for a swim at Zlatni Rat, one of the most famous beaches in Europe.
In the afternoon a catamaran takes you to Hvar, the most fashionable of the Dalmatian islands; depending on the season you arrive directly in Hvar town or via Jelsa. Hvar’s harbour, Venetian loggia, white stone lanes and lively waterfront make the free morning there a highlight. Another ferry then sails through a sea of small islands to Korčula, a walled medieval town on a peninsula, said to be the birthplace of Marco Polo, with time to watch the sunset from its walls.
A complete guided tour shows you Korčula’s walled old town, built in a herringbone pattern to catch the breeze. You then cross to the Pelješac peninsula, a land of vineyards with a long tradition of winemaking, for an included wine tasting in a beautiful rural setting. By about 3 pm you are back in Dubrovnik, with a free afternoon and evening to walk the city walls, watch the sunset from the old harbour or enjoy a last seafood dinner by the sea.
This 10 days Croatia tour including Sarajevo, Mostar, Dubrovnik, Split and the islands of Brač, Hvar and Korčula suits couples and honeymooners who want sea, islands and old towns; friends and families who enjoy a mix of culture and beach time; and travellers curious about the history of the Balkans. Island days use ferries and a catamaran, and luggage moves with you, so it is best for travellers who are comfortable with some boat transfers and short walks on stone lanes.
May, June and September are ideal — warm sea, sunny days and fewer crowds than July and August, when the islands are at their busiest. This tour departs on selected Wednesdays. Croatia is in the Schengen area, so Indian passport holders need a Schengen visa; Bosnia and Herzegovina has its own entry rules, which are usually easier for travellers holding a valid multiple-entry Schengen visa. Our visa team prepares the Schengen file and checks the current Bosnia rules for your dates — start about two to three months before travel.
Breakfast is included every day, plus five dinners in Zagreb, Sarajevo, Dubrovnik (two) and Split; vegetarian food is available, though the island menus focus on seafood. Border formalities between Croatia and Bosnia can take time, so carry water and snacks on those days. Pack swimwear, comfortable sandals and a light jacket for evening ferries. International flights into Zagreb and out of Dubrovnik are booked separately — our team can book them from any Indian city. Prices start from €2,325 per person (₹2,55,800 at €1 = ₹110, October 2026) on twin sharing, excluding GST and TCS, and are recalculated for your exact travel dates and season.
For a shorter Adriatic trip, see the 8 days Croatia tour of Dubrovnik, Split, Hvar and Korčula. To combine Romania, Serbia and Slovenia, take the 13 days Balkans tour from Transylvania to Venice; for a quieter coast, the 6 days Albania tour of Berat, Gjirokaster and the Blue Eye; and for Western Europe, the 13 days Lisbon to Paris tour with Spain and Switzerland.
