Amazing tour, amazing guide - I work a lot with Insider, but our guide, Hana, was by far the best and I had to write a review. She is young but knowledgeable, she talks with passion and has an answer to all the questions. I would recommend Insider to anyone who wants to learn about Bosnian culture a d history.

Very Educational - Our guide was Dennis, a young Bosnian man with excellent English. He digs into history, starts with the Congress of Berlin (1878) and its aftermath. We often confuse the Congress of Berlin, which divided the Balkan Peninsula, with the Berlin Conference of 1984, which divided Africa --- talking about the importance of the Congress of Berlin at the beginning of the tour was a good refresher in world history. After the tour, Dennis took us to the south side of the river where a mosque and a Franciscan church stand side by side, and the oldest beer brewery right next to it. I had the beer from the same brewery at the airport that afternoon, and my fond memories of Sarajevo was fortified with the tour.

History Comes to Life - As a history teacher I routinely teach the story of the assassination. This tour added to the details I teach and I actually had the opportunity to stand at the spot which was the door of the coffee shop from where the fatal shot was fired. At the conclusion of the tour I received a book which revealed the fates of the five conspirators in the plot to dispatch Franz Ferdinand. There were so many new details, all delivered with enthusiasm and humor. This was my favorite Sarajevo tour, a difficult pick, since they were all good.
