Description
Within a single 500-metre radius, Sarajevo's Old Town holds mosques, churches, a synagogue, Ottoman bazaars, and Austro-Hungarian architecture — all still in daily use, all within walking distance of each other. Nowhere else in Europe does that exist. This three-hour walking tour is built to make sense of it — giving first-time visitors the historical and cultural context that turns a beautiful old town into a place they actually understand.
Starting at the Latin Bridge — where the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 triggered World War I — the route moves through Baščaršija's old bazaar, along Coppersmith Street, past the Sebilj Fountain, through the Gazi Husrev-Bey Mosque complex, and on to Sarajevo Cathedral and the grand City Hall. You will cross the exact line where the Ottoman East meets the Austro-Hungarian West — one of the most quietly remarkable moments on any walking tour in Europe. Small group, local guide, three hours at a steady pace.

Exciting city walk with lots of inside knowledge and history
Very nice city walk with personal memory of the guide and a lot of historical input. It was a lot of fun, time passed incredibly quickly.
Operator response
Time flying by is honestly the best compliment a walking tour can get. Glad the personal stories landed too — Sarajevo's history hits different when it's not just dates and facts, but things that actually happened to people I know. Come back and we'll cover the parts of the city we didn't get to!

Scam
This tour has not been available for over a year, yet they take bookings and your money. Luckily, they will return your money after you waste your time and money to call them internationally.

Won’t count on Viator
Went to location and waited 30 minutes in the rain. No one showed up. Later learned company Viator teamed up with went out of business over a year ago. Wasted an entire evening. Number of other tours with a firm more reliable than Viator that could have taken. Very disappointed and frustrated.

The only way to see the real Sarajevo - and to get into the local way of life.
I booked the sunset tour to make the most of a business trip to a city I'd never previously visited. Almedin Memović, the CEO of Tallest Tourguide Tours, personally walked me around his city. Both the booking experience and the meeting instructions were perfectly clear.
Almedin is passionate about Sarajevo, his home and a city that everyone thinks that they know a bit about (the assassination that led to WW1, the Winter Olympics, the recent civil wars) but that is, actually, only a small part of the story. This small but fascinating melting-pot of a city has much to see and the sunset tour was perfect for me as I was on a tight programme. Almedin, who seems to know everyone in Sarajevo, takes you off the main touristy routes and shows you streets and workshops that could be in Marakech or Istanbul, as well as more baroque/classically European areas. Almedin is perfect at juding his tourists, and knows precisely the right bar/shop to go to for a rest (and all of the tourist routes).
My highlights were the Jewish quarter, where Almedin regaled me with how the religious communities worked together to preserve ancient items that the Nazis were desperate to aquire, the simple, rather modest memorials to the fallen in the infamous siege (one memorial in particular, from 1992, showed, from the names of the victims, how indescriminate war is) and, left to the end, the site of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. During our tour two things shone through: Almedin's astonishing level of knowledge (he never failed to answer my questions) and his passion for tour guiding. I have done a few of these walking tours, from Berlin to Lisbon and Marackech, and this was, easily, the best.
I would also add that Sarajevo is a hidden gem - less publicised than other tourist spots (your Dubrovoniks and Venices, for example!) but a wonderful city with charming, welcoming hosts and stacks of stuff to see. And the Tallest Tourguide company is highly recommended to do help you see it...
Operator response
Comparing this to Berlin, Lisbon, and Marrakech and landing on Sarajevo — I'll be thinking about that for a while. The Jewish quarter story is one I genuinely love telling, because it's the part of this city's history that gets skipped over for the more famous headlines, and you clearly caught that. Tight schedule or not, sounds like you got the real version of Sarajevo rather than the postcard one, which is exactly the goal of the sunset route. Thank you for putting this much into it — and for calling this city a hidden gem, because it is, even if I'm biased. Come back when you've got more than a business trip's worth of time.

Well worthwhile
We almost missed out on this tour because they had planned on cancelling all their tours for the day because of the fog but thank god they didn't cancel because this tour was well worth it. The guide has a vast knowledge of history mixed with his own personal experiences which was great. His food recommendation was probably the best we got on the whole eurotrip.

Fun tour on New Year's Eve
This was a really fun tour to take on our first night in Sarajevo, that happened to be New Year's Eve. Almedin Memovic ("Tallest Tour Guide") is a lot of fun, he knows very well the story of the shooting which started World War I. He also knows good places to hang out if you need a rest. He showed us the main sites in the Old City and told stories with passion, emphasizing the positive relationship between the Christian, Muslim and Jewish communities.
