The go-to travel agency - I took a bet on them and they did very well. I went for their free walking tour, the Fall of Yugoslavia tour (car), and the Mostar day excursion. All three were exactly as good as advertised. My 4-day BIH trip was perfectly filled. Thank you!

Insightful and Memorable Tour – Highly Recommend - This tour was one of the most meaningful parts of my trip to Sarajevo. I booked it to learn more about the war and the breakup of Yugoslavia, and it definitely delivered. The guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of historical context, as well as personal stories that made the experience feel real and human—not just like a lecture. Visiting the Tunnel of Hope Museum was especially impactful. Walking through a small section of the original tunnel and seeing the museum exhibits helped me understand just how difficult life was during the siege, and how much courage and resilience people showed just to survive. The tour also included stops at some of the frontlines and viewpoints around the city, which gave a clearer picture of how Sarajevo was surrounded and attacked. It was eye-opening and emotional at times, but never overwhelming. What I appreciated most was that the tour struck a good balance: informative without being too heavy, respectful without being dramatic. It helped me understand a very complex part of recent history in a way that felt honest and thoughtful. If you’re visiting Sarajevo and want to go beyond the surface, I definitely recommend this tour.

very interesting tour. - we did the "Fall of Yugoslavia" tour. Our 14. Month-old daughter was free. We were picked up in a minivan at our campsite and dropped off there again. The tour was very informative, especially because our tour guide had to witness the siege himself. We can highly recommend the tour, even for families with small children.

An interesting afternoon learning about the history of this country - This was the 3rd tour we booked with Meet Bosnia and it did not disappoint. I’m so glad I did this trip, Emin our tour guide was clearly very knowledgeable on the topic and very bravely shared personal stories. It was worth it and I absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who visits Sarajevo.

Fantastic trip with our fantastic guide Ago - We had this tour with Ago yesterday and what a tour it was. Ago is a very interesting and clever man who knows so much knowledge on this topic. The tour was super interesting with some great stops. Each stop Ago explained thoroughly and in a very interesting way. I feel like I have a much greater understanding of this topic thanks to this tour. And thanks again Ago! I hope to have more tours with you in future trips to Sarajevo
