Great tour with incredible guide - Our food, drink, and history tour of Sarajevo was an amazing experience, largely thanks to our guide, Ilma. Her historical knowledge of the city, intertwined with her personal stories of her family, made the tour both educational and enjoyable. The food was excellent, we received great recommendations, and learned a little Bosnian too! Ilma's warm personality and storytelling brought Sarajevo’s culture to life, making this tour an absolute must for anyone visiting the city.

Excellent thorough historical and gastronomical food tour in Sarajevo! - I’m from Florida, my husband is from Bosnia, and we needed to kill time before our next flight. Our tour guide Enes blew us away with a lively walking historical and traditional food tour! Even my Bosnian husband learned a lot of new information. Enes taught us about Yugoslavia, Ottoman Empire, Tito, the 90s siege, and so much more! If you’re a curious history buff and open minded person, you should definitely take this tour. You will eat enough and walk enough to make all those calories worth it! Enes is so charismatic and high energy, 10/10 would recommend.

Fabulous Cultural Food and History Experience - We had a fabulous day with our friendly tour guide..She was eager to provide us so many different experiences of food and drink. We cannot say enough praises for our tour guide. Christie and I really appreciated the personal touch she gave us. Marvelous day and would recommend this tour to anyone. Wish we could remember her name but we think it was Elana. Thank you so much for a great experience of Bosnian food and drink.

Great first day in sarajevo - had a great tour on our first full day in sarajevo. my wife and i were the only ones who booked a tour that day (saturday may 27). we had a younger guy who i believe said he was giving his first tour. he was very knowledgeable about sarajevo and seemed to really enjoy what he was doing. he took us to a couple places that i'm sure we would not have found on our own. as we finished up with a couple of drinks we chatted about the rest of our trip we had planned, some of his future plans and just overall what was going on around the world. it was a great way to spend our first full afternoon in bosnia.

Food/Rakija tour with Mery - We did the Sarajevo gourmet food/rakija tour and our tour guide was Mery/Marium This tour has amazing food and rakija included, as well as a nice walk through the major areas of Sarajevo such as the old town. It was nice to have our tour guide give us a bit of history behind Sarajevo and Bosnia. The Burak was my favourite meal, I personally love the meat and spinach, and each meal felt homemade and authentic. At our last food stop I tried some Hurmasice (Bosnian dessert biscuit soaked in syrup) and it was really good, one of my fav desserts. And then before your tour ends you have some rakija! All in all I give a 4/5. Just some feedback for our tour guide; I feel we would have enjoyed more conversation and knowledge about Bosnian history, food, culture, etc. I just felt like the tour fell a bit flat when it came to actually learning about things and being immersed in the tour. More talking and interesting conversation would have made this tour a 5/5, but I am really happy with the locations we visited and the food was good! Mery is a nice lady that is a newer tour guide, and I feel as with more time and feedback she will become better prepared for future tours. thank you 🇧🇦
