Excellent tour of Jewish sites and introduction to Old Town Sarajevo - Our guide, Fariz, was so informative and well-versed on the city, the religious aspects of Sarajevo's history, and the cultural aspects of Sarajevo now. He is Muslim but had studied the Jewish history of his city very well. We also enjoyed talking to him about living in Bosnia now as a 20-something Muslim. The tour was very comprehensive and with 4 hours we were able to cover all the Jewish sites, but also had time to point out many important sites in the Old Town area so we could go back and appreciate on our own later.
