Insightful, interesting must do tour - An great tour of the city, which combined the events of the assassination of the Archduke with the Bosnian war and its aftermath. Ado, our guide was brilliant, articulate, knowledgeable about both historical events & also really informative about live in Sarajevo now & the culture and politics. Highly recommended
