Great tour - We did this tour, Im fairly sure his name was Adman but can't be 100%, but he relived his personal experience from being 19yrs old to becoming a soldier and gave good insight, very professional and very informative, thank you.

A well planned tour to give you maximum understanding of the siege and the resilience of the people. - This was my first tour with Dream Balkans Travel. From the moment I set my foot into their side street office in the Old Town of Sarajevo until I did my last tour with them all I experienced was nothing but joy. If you want to find out about the resilience and fighting spirit of the people of Sarajevo against all odds with the best guide Adnan then this is the tour for you.

A tour to not forget - The tour was fantastic! Our guide Adis showed us the places and gave us explanations of a Cover who actually lived those battles and the terrible years of siege to Sarajevo! It was a very touching experience!

A Personal Account of the Bosnian War - Probably the best history lesson of our lives. Thanks Adis. A very personal explanation of how normal life became a war and then how the ingenuity and determination of the people succeeded in defending the city until the Dayton Agreement was signed. The stops along the minibus tour included all of the major war sites but they were really enhanced by a veteran explaining the small details associated with them. We’re old enough to remember watching the war on TV news, and Adis pointed out the hotel where the TV reporters stayed. Highly recommended.

Great Perspective of Sarajevo from the 90’s Siege - Great overview of war in Bosnia from Sarajevo perspective. Our guide was so passionate and knowledgeable given first hand experience of living through the 90’s. Really enjoyed and learned a lot!

Excellent educational tour. I took my 14 year old son, the stories and information really made an impact on him. - This tour was worth every penny. One of the best tours I’ve taken in over 30 countries visited. I learned so much about the war. The stories the guide told were very impactful. We are the same age so it really made me think of how different my teenage life was and how I had no idea what was happening half way around the world. It was an incredibly education experience and my 14 year old has also said it’s one of the best tours he has been on. We started the documentary the guide recommended last night and it’s led to a lot of discussion. I would recommend this tour to families.

Wonderful experience - Adis was in high school when he became part of the Bosnian forces defending Sarajevo. His stories were compelling and made this tour very memorable. The tour was well organized and the 8 seater van was a nice group size. The visits to the tunnel and army positions at the bobsled track were great. Enroute we were shown battle locations of the two armies and heard about Bosnia’s history. A really good tour.

Tour to remember - I had an amazing experience on this Sarajevo war tour. It was both emotional and educational, giving me a deep understanding of the city’s history. We visited the Tunnel of Hope, war cemeteries, and the haunting remains of the Olympic bobsleigh track — each stop carried powerful stories of resilience and survival. The guide (Samiera) was very knowledgeable and explained everything with great passion and clarity. We ended the tour with a traditional Bosnian coffee at the Yellow Fortress, enjoying stunning views over the city. This tour is a must for anyone who wants to truly connect with Sarajevo’s past and present.
