Very good tour, history, culture and pace. The guide, Enes was excellent!!! Great knowledge and very helpful and flexible. Highly recommended!
Great orientation tour of Sarajevo, it was the perfect introduction to the city. Discovered so much about Sarajevo’s rich history, culture, and hidden gems while exploring the old town and local neighborhoods.
Booked on short notice, this was a great trip full of information and site seeing. I brought a student group of 12 teenagers and 2 adults, and they were kept engaged throughout the tour. The tour guide was prompt, friendly, and communicated well with the group. I would recommend to small or large groups.
This tour with Enes was a highlight of our vacation traveling through the Balkans! Sarajevo is a such a beautiful city with so much rich history and after this tour we certainly hope to be back again soon with many more days to explore and appreciate all that the place has to offer. We couldn’t imagine a better way to have explored it than with Enes. He is the quintessential travel guide: he blends a very deep understanding and familiarity of historical and cultural information and facts with well-delivered narrative accounts. I would highly recommend taking this tour with Enes even if you have a few hours to spend in the city. Even before our tour started, Enes was highly responsive and patient with recommendations. Because of the tour with him, we were able to get a very special perspective about Sarajevo: its beauty, multi-cultural histories, tragedies and resilience. It was such a treat to have taken with tour and to be guided through the city by someone who has such a deep connection with the place. We really appreciated all that we learned about the area and its history from Enes and hope to be back again soon!
