Very moving, it's a must-do tour - The Siege tour was absolutely amazing and is a can't-miss tour. The guide was a Bosnian war vet and gave us very personal details about his time during the war.

A must tour when visiting Sarajevo - It was en excellent tour. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour and Sarajevo as a city. People in the city have treated me incredibly well. My tour guide was Ibrahim and I was lucky to be the only person in the group! He is local and also his family and I was really happy and lucky to have the tour done by him. I really wanted to thank him for his professionalism, politness, well informed, friendliness, and his love for the city and passion for his work that went above and beyond! I learnt a lot about the situation of the city and country at the time of the war and the history of Yugoslavia and the former yugoslave republics. Also about the people in BiH, the languages, the religions, the food, the winter olympic games. He is also a very good driver and the van was really comfortable! He also was ready to answer all the question, being very precise and accurate in all his answers. I will come back to Sarajevo with my friends sometime in the future. I have travelled all around the world and for me, Ibrahim has been the BEST TOUR GUIDE I have had so far! Thank you very much indeed and I hope to come back for more tours.

Deep dive into Sarajevos history - If you really want to find out what it was like in Sarajevo during the siege, you should book this tour. The guide Muhamed is a true Sarajevo native and experienced the war at close quarters. He also knows everything about his city and patiently answers all your questions - be it about his favourite food, the technical details of the bobsleigh run or the situation in Bosnia today. He is also a funny guy.

Best Tour in Sarajevo - We had an incredible tour with Adnan. He took us through many important places in Sarajevo and talked us through the situation during the siege. He is a war veteran and his insights were invaluable.

Ibrahim was an excellent tour guide and this tour was SO worth the money. - We were looking for a way to learn about the political history of Sarajevo and BiH in the one day that we had to explore the city. Our tour with Ibrahim totally made the visit. He was professional, engaging, knowledgeable and friendly. He was also able to answer questions from a personal perspective as his parents lived in Sarajevo during the siege. He did a wonderful job explaining the complicated BiH political history as well as current day status and he led us through the Tunnel of Hope tour in a way that enriched the things we saw there. I can't say enough for this tour. It was so worth the money and Ibrahim really maximized our time there. The van was comfortable and we were fortunate to have just 4 people on our tour so it felt very personal. The fee for the Tunnel of Hope was an additional charge that we paid at the office just before we left for the tour. Tip: if you arrive ahead of time for your tour, there is a lovely little cafe with excellent coffee and baklava just in front of the office. If you look out the office windows, you will be looking into the cafe.
