Franz Ferdinand’ assassination helps understand the bigger picture - Very knowledgeable and passionate guide explaining not only how Franz Ferdinand spent the last day of his life visiting Sarajevo in a colourful amusing way . She managed to link the assassination to the political situation in Europe and the Balkans at the time, why it triggered WW1. We liked the walking tour with Yldma very much and learned a lot about history and its significance to better understand current challenges of BiH as a multicultural country. Highly recommended

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
