Our guide, Edis, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the subject of the tour. He told us the story of his father who was injured during the war from 1992 to 1995, which made the tour even more moving. What we visited allowed us to discover several facets of Sarajevo, including the resilience and multiculturalism of its people.

Tour ran 1 1/2 hrs. Longer. The tour had more than 30 participants. In my opinion that is too many. When I asked the group leader he said they usually had around 40. This information should be available before you sign up.

Ahmed was a spectacular guide, speaking about both the immense history of Sarajevo and BiH in general, but also about his personal experiences living through the war and how life is in Bosnia today. Highly recommend to get a taste of everything Sarajevo has to offer!
Educational and memorable tour. A testament to grit and resilience, this tour explores the architectural and cultural beauty of Sarajevo against the backdrop of war, siege, and political strife.
Greetings Ricardo, Thank you for taking a tour with us and for tour feedback
I cannot say enough good things about this tour. I book this tour fairly close to the actual tour date for 12 teenagers and 2 adults, and I am thrilled that I did. The transport was on time, very comfortable, and the tour guide was very knowledgable and personal. It was a perfect way to start our week in Sarajevo, and I would recommend the same to anyone. You get way more than the cost of the trip.
Thank you Patrick for your feedback
