How can it cost £228.17 for 1 adult for a tour around Banja Luka? That is really taking the mick and taking advantage of serious money making. There is no no way a walking tour in Banja Luka should cost that much especially as the Bosnian mark is not euro, and so much cheaper to do it alone. Taking advantage of tourists. I didn't do the trip but I saw how much you are charging.
