This is a better tour than just the old town tour, get both. - Elvis is an exceptional tour guide. I have been to Sarajevo several times now and the war and the tensions of the Balkans were always hard for me to understand. I even lived in the Balkans! Coming back and hearing Elvis explain everything to us was a great experience and I feel like I understand Sarajevo and the Balkans much better. Elvis also helped us to recommend where to eat and anything we had questions about. Great tour and great guide.

The Essential Tour of Sarajevo - This trip was fascinating, Elvis was a fountain of knowledge and made this tour a must do for anyone travelling to Sarajevo. There were only two of us in the group and we were brought through the ages of the city from before the Ottoman Empire to present day seeing many of the pivotal locations that helped shape the country. If you get the chance you should definitely do this tour.

Highly recommended! Great way to experience Sarajevo! - The tour is very well organised. I would highly recommend it, especially if you are into your history . Elvis is a great tour guide! The tour was well paced, and he provided the information clearly and answered all the questions I had. He gave further recommendations on places to eat and local customs as well. The tour is a combination of driving and walking and I felt very safe with him. Sarajevo is such a diverse, complex, and beautiful city and this tour is a great way to experience it, especially if you have limited time.
If you are in Bosnia and Herzegovina for a few days, I recommend doing this tour at the beginning of the trip, as some of the events in relation to the Bosnian war could be distressing. The country has so much to offer, and possibly arrange other tours with Elvis! :-)

One stop shop to experience Sarajevo - I wouldn’t know where to start we travelled all over Sarajevo and saw pretty much everything you can see; from bascarsija and old part of the city, to the city hall - Italian bridge where the assassination that triggered WWI happened, to the famous churches, cathedrals, mosques, and synagogues, sniper boulevard, and the sniper nest tours around the city including the war tunnels and olympics. Excellent experience for a tourist who wants to learn about Bosnia and it’s heritage. Eyup is a very knowledgeable guide, I highly recommend him.
