Really great tour! - on the day of departure from Sarajevo we took a 2 hour tour with a guide. the weather was really wintery, the day before it had snowed non-stop, so we got a private tour with the guide Senka who was excellent! since we had our four children with us, she adjusted the walking pace and the story to both us adults and the children. a really well spent 2 hours!

Excellent! - We booked a guided tour because we wanted to learn more about the history of Sarajevo’s beautiful buildings and the important events that took place in this area. We were greeted by the wonderful and kind Samira. She led us through the city, introduced us to the local culture, showed us what true respect looks like, and did her absolute best to answer all our questions with a professional insight into Sarajevo’s history. We are grateful to her for making it possible for us to see everything we wanted and for fulfilling all our wishes! ❤️
