Compelling tour - This tour is highly educational for those seeking to understand war atrocities in our recent history. There are many footage and texts providing deep insights into the developments in Srebrenica during the Bosnian War. In addition, my guide Ken was happy to offer further explanations and clarify my doubts after the visit. It was certainly a meaningful experience.

History Nerds will love this! Very insightful and relevant to recent events. - We had a brilliant time! Firstly, the views on the drive from Sarajevo to Srebrenica were absolutely stunning! The tour itself was extremely insightful and an experience that gave us chills. Also appreciated the further insights from Mustafa through his personal stories - he was very knowledgable and easy to talk to. Your history is rich and we hope to spread the word with everything we learnt.
Thank you so much for organising and we wish you all the best!

Super recommended☺️ - We booked the visit to Srebrenica with Kenan and loved it.☺️ Kenan is an excellent Guide, super friendly, close, generous, and also, although the tour was in English, it was very easy to understand. He gave us a lot of information about the war and genocide, during the trip and also during the visit. It's worth it! I recommend it!
