I went on the "War tour", and highly recommend it. We also got to walk the bobsled track and learn about the 1984 Olympics which was really wonderful since I remember them well. I learned so much and appreciated how knowledgeable Kamer was and all that he shared with us about the siege of Sarajevo and the war. But he also offered us many insights to the whole region. I am grateful to have experienced the city and surrounding area through the eyes of a local, with family stories and anecdotes that made it very personal. It's the perfect amount of time for the tour and all the stops were well planned and suited to the story/history. It was incredible to be inside history - all of it enveloping us. Great tour and wonderful guide!
Thank you for such a thoughtful review. It means a lot to us that the tour gave you a deeper connection to Sarajevo and its history. Kamer truly cares about sharing these stories, and we're glad it resonated with you.
The War Tour was very informative. Our guide Mido told us a lot about the war history of Bosnia & Herzegovina. We were picked up and dropped back to our stay and had a virtually private tour with yet another couple. We definitely recommend this tour and on a next visit to Sarajevo we definitely want to book other tours with this organization.
Thank you for your positive review! We’re glad you learned so much about the war history of Bosnia and Herzegovina with Mido. It was great to provide you with a personalized experience. We look forward to welcoming you again on another tour!
We did the "War Tour" and thanks to Kamer it was more than a tour, it was an experience. Kamer is more than a guide, he is engaging and involving also with a lot of stories about the war periode. Kamer drove us to see the key points to understand the siege of Sarajevo. I firmly recommend Torus Tours! Angela
Thank you for your thoughtful review, Angela! We’re so glad Kamer could make the "War Tour" such a meaningful experience for you. His passion for sharing the stories of Sarajevo really shines through. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another tour!
Loved the experience. Kamer from Torus tours was very good in explaining the full history of the war tunnel. Kamer has very good knowledge on the history though his young age. Family loved the experience as well.
Thank you for booking War Tour with us. Looking forward to guide you again!
Amazing tour and experience to know what happened in the 90s in Sarajevo. The tour includes the amazing view of the city from Trebević and a walk in the abandoned bobsleigh track. Kamer, our guide, was really nice, and have a lot of knowledge about Sarajevo history. You can ask him whatever you want. I'll be waiting for you at the Olympics!
Thank you for joining us on the War Tour. Looking forward to see you again!
this tour is really worth it. a resident whose family lived during the siege of the city who takes us to the most relevant places narrating the horrible facts that happened here. The guide is super kind and patient, makes the tour unhurried and is very attentive.
Thank you for booking war tour with us! Looking forward to seeing you again.
I choose to have private tour with Kamer and it was one of the best tours experience I ever had because of the knowledge and the guide was super nice and helpful
We are happy to hear that you enjoyed private War Tour with us!
Wonderful tour with a lot of historical information and interesting stories. Kamer is very nice and knowledgeable. This tour is a great way to get a sense of the war and history in Bosnia. Highly recommend!
Thank you for joining us on our War Tour, we are looking forward to guide you again!
Myself, my wife, and our baby daughter took the war tour with Kamer and it was amazing. Kamer picked us up from our Airbnb and drove us around the city of Sarajevo to see all the important war locations. Not only did he teach us all about the war, he taught us about life in Bosnia and answered our many many questions. He was very kind and entertaining qnd contributed to our wonderful trip to Sarajevo. He also showed us other great sights around town and gave amazing restaurant recommendations. To add, he is also a great photographer lol. If you’re looking for a war tour of Sarajevo, this tour is a must!
Thank you very much for kind words! I really enjoyed guiding you around :)
