You won’t be disappointed on this experience. - From the moment we meet our guide Emina her Passion for Sarajevo and her country Bosnia was so apparent we stopped to eat delicious local foods and went on a culinary journey through the city with a prefect balance of history culture and explanation of the sights we visited.
There was no one sidedness of the different cultures in the city we visited the Cathedral’s and the mosques with equal enthusiasm but above all the food was amazing and coffee just amazing now I know how to drink it properly.
To sum up well worth the price a great 4 hours spent with an amazing ambassador to Sarajevo we will take away found memories and certainly recommend Sarajevo to our friends.

Amazing tour of Sarajevo - We tried so many delicious foods and saw so many things. Sarajevo is a truly amazing city. Highly recommend this tour, you see a bunch of cultural sites, learn about the history through conversation, and understand the day to day experiences through food.

A great tour which was expertly led. - A great tour that had a good mix of food and craft. It was expertly led by Vildan who had great knowledge and a locals perspective who we were able to ask anything about the country and history. This is the third tour we've done with Meet Bosnia Tours over the last three years and they've all been very good! All I would say is you don't need to eat before going on the tour!

Great way to see other side of the old town and taste it! - This was a very good tour. My tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. I was the only person in the tour. I felt I was visiting Sarajevo with a relative. It was a good way to see other places in the old town and taste some very good food. I also saw some crafts shops which were interesting.

Amazing tour with Arna! - My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the food and crafts tour with Arna. She is a very sweet, kind, and knowledgeable guide. Arna took us to the best spots to try various local foods, as well as recommendations to try at a later time. The next day, we went to some of those recommendations! We loved the local markets we went to! I would highly recommend anyone to try this tour, but make sure you arrive hungry! Thanks again, Arna for a wonderful day!

Arna was an excellent guide! - So much food! Pace yourself… So happy we choose this tour! While many tours focus on the war and troubles of Sarajevo, this tour focused on the people, their resilience, and efforts to retain their culture thru food, music and crafts. You can’t escape the realities of what happened here but you can get a glimpse of the pride, joy and optimism of the local families still upholding the traditions that define their culture. Oh, our guide Arna was fantastic!

Thank you Vildan - A must-do visit, we discover places we would never have gone to, we taste specialties we didn't even know existed. It’s fun, interesting and unexpected. Special mention to our guide Vildan who is an exceptional person and who was keen to introduce us to his country, its crafts and its gastronomy. Thanks also to Steve and his family who traveled this day with us.
Don’t hesitate for a second to take this excursion

Best way to get to know Sarajewo - I had an amazing experience! It was my first time in Sarajevo. I was very interested to learn about the Bosnian cuisine. We tried so many different foods and visited local craftsmen shops. While trying all those foods I learned a lot about the history and the culture. Thanks a lot to my passionate guide! Because of her I had a perfect start for my trip to Sarajevo :) I will be back for sure

Emina was amazing! - My husband and I recently did a private tour with Emina and it was excellent!! She was so knowledgeable about the city, easy going in accommodating our preferences, and thoughtful in answering our questions. She also offered great recommendations on how we could enjoy the Sarajevo film festival. The tour with Emina was a highlight of our trip!
