The tour is very knowledgeful and you learn a lot about Sarajevo history as well as current happenings. The coffee moment as an addition is really great because you learn the Bosnian way of enjoying coffee. The guide is excellent in knowledge about the history of Sarajevo and about the cool "quirks" around the city. Great guy! Great touring pace. This is the tour you want to book in Sarajevo
I came across the Bosnian Coffee Workshop with Brewing Lesson and wasn’t sure what to expect, but I can confidently say it made for a lovely day out. Armin was super friendly and took us to some hidden gems that we wouldn’t have noticed had he not pointed them out. My husband and I really enjoyed learning more about the cultural and historic context of Bosnia. I took part in a brewing workshop and we sat to have some coffee and a chat, and received a cute certificate to validate the workshop. Our host was very genuine and we felt like we were talking to an old friend! Armin was very patient when taking us through the shops and it made for a relaxing, but equally insightful experience. I really recommend Sarajevo Experiences to tourists as the company’s philosophy values genuine experience and personal interactions to get the most out of the activity - unlike other agencies that host big groups. We will visit Armin again when we’re back!
