One stop shop to experience Sarajevo - I wouldn’t know where to start we travelled all over Sarajevo and saw pretty much everything you can see; from bascarsija and old part of the city, to the city hall - Italian bridge where the assassination that triggered WWI happened, to the famous churches, cathedrals, mosques, and synagogues, sniper boulevard, and the sniper nest tours around the city including the war tunnels and olympics. Excellent experience for a tourist who wants to learn about Bosnia and it’s heritage. Eyup is a very knowledgeable guide, I highly recommend him.

Great price and worth a tour - The yellow fortress was amazing to see the city of sarajevo from a high view. The war tunnel was a great learning experience of what Bosnia experienced in the 1990s.

What a fantastic day! - For a long time now I’ve wanted to visit the Balkans, especially Sarajevo. I did the tour on my first day there after arriving. My guide was Elvis who did an amazing job. I was the only one on the tour that day, which is crazy now that I am on full packed buses on other tours. The trip was just the right pace. It’s hard to write about the Tunnel museum and evidence of the war everywhere, but growing up in the 80s in the US I felt it was important to try and understand what happened. This was my favorite tour of my 11 country trip. I think it was because it wasn’t just a city, it was a landscape with a long history that I’m beginning now to understand. I give it 6 out of 5 stars:) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A must in you visit Sarajevo! - This tour was one of the most complete tours I've ever taken in Europe. It really went above and beyond my expectations. Our guide was great; super informed, funny, and went the extra mile to make us feel welcome. It was almost a private tour since there was just one other couple and myself. We got to see some of the tunnels that were dug during the terrible war of the mid 1990's, as well as some of the most important sights (including the Winter Olympic complex at the top of the mountain). We ended up with a nice traditional Bosnian lunch that we enjoyed in one of the best restaurants in town. All in all, I'd highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to get more familiar with this beautiful country, its people, its history and culture.

The guide, Enes, was a true professional taking time to make sure that his guests had the full experience of Sarajevo and sharing the rich culture, while providing interesting historical information for each place visited. He took his time to make sure that we had a great experience. This tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Sarajevo for the first time.

Fantastic Must Do Tour - This tour was booked to give us a good overview of Sarajevo with both a history and the war and old town walking tour rolled into one. In the morning we went to the Sarajevo Tunnel and got to experience the way people had to get things in and out of Sarajevo during the siege. Enes the guide also took us to have a Bosnian coffee with the next door neighbour who's husband had also been involved with the creation of the tunnel and who owned the truck now on display. There was lots of insight into the siege and the concert by Bruce Dickenson (Iron Maiden). We followed this up with stops at the bobsleigh track and the Jewish cemetery, all with great insight and background input from Enes. After the morning we stopped and had lunch in the old town and Enes selected a range of traditional Bosnian dishes for us to try (this was not really part of the tour, but worked for us as we had to pick up extra guests for the afternoon part), and this was a great experience, and very tasty. The walking tour of the old town took us past the main sights and was a great second part of the tour. This is an absolute must do tour if you are in Sarajevo, you get everything in one tour and out guide was great.

Great and must taken tour in Sarajevo - A must followed tour on your first day at Sarajevo, so you have complete coverage of all important and interesting places in the city. My tour guide Enes Popara was very passionate to share all information related to places we visited, and other aspects of the country. The fact that I was the only tourist he accompanied did not reduce his spirit and enthusiasm. As bonus, he also a good photographer too.
