An experience you won’t forget! - If you plan to do a tour, do it with Adis! :) - I had an amazing experience on the Sarajevo city tour! Our guide was very charismatic and made the entire experience both engaging and enjoyable. His deep knowledge of Sarajevo’s history brought the city to life, and he shared fascinating stories that I would have never discovered on my own. I highly recommend his tour to anyone visiting Sarajevo – it’s an experience you won’t forget!

Highly recommended tour to understand the Siege - Super interesting and helpful to understand the history of Sarajevo starting from the end of 'Tito era' to today. 3 hours of full history that flew by. Also very well organized and I liked the idea of being in a small group (4 people).

The best guide - We booked the tour after taking Adis' free walking tour and admiring his style and his professionalism. This tour was even richer. We learned so much about the historic events and Adis had answers for every question. He is very skilled and knows perfectly the history of the region and the Balkans. Thank you so much for this tour

Adis is the best - Adis was such a great guide we did the walking tour with him and he was so knowledgeable. The next day we did a tour in his car around Sarajevo and saw the tunnel that was built during the war. Overall such an amazing experience getting information from a true local. Thanks Adis

Highly recommended tour with Adis! - The man. The myth. The legend. Thank you Adis! We booked the Siege tour after we did the walking tour. This tour was also extremely interesting. With a small group we drove all over the city while Adis told us all about the history. We can highly recommend this tour!
