Adventures in Bosnia - fantastic tour - Kenan took us on a fantastic half day tour around Sarajevo and the Tunnel of Hope. He is so knowledgeable and really explained the complexities of the war so we left with a great understanding of the conflict. Highly recommend to all travellers. Our 13y old was particularly engrossed by the events . Wonderful experience provided by Adventures in Bosnia

Satisfying tour - Had a full day tour that included a walking tour of Sarajevo city centre, the Tunnel of Hope and the Jewish cemetery. Ken was super knowledgeable and displayed great enthusiasm when we discussed the details about the landmarks and the city’s history. Apart from that, we got to see nice views of the city in winter, and did all that with sufficient time. I definitely recommend Ken and his agency.

Great tour, cool stops and friendly guide. - Great tour with interesting stops. Our guide Emir was really knowledgeable and provided many interesting facts along the way. He was also really passionate about Bosnia and provided a quite optimistic future for the younger generation in the country. Beeing up on the hillside looking down on the city and imagining a people under siege was a scary but important experience.

Fascinating tour - This was such an interesting tour. So glad we had Emir as our guide as he was very knowledgeable. He could answer all my questions! He was also very good at explaining it in a way our children would understand. He was also understanding that three young boys won’t always listen perfectly! It was so interesting to learn about what the people of Sarajevo went through so to see the tunnel really brought it to life. A brilliant history lesson for our children, which I hope will stay with them.
