Unforgetable Sarajevo - Our tour guide Kinan was fantastic and took us to out of the way scenic attractions as well as historic places in the old town of Sarajevo. He stayed with us the entire day, customized the itinerary to our interests, and was extremely knowledgeable about the town's history, political and religious influences, and cultural aspects in this diverse city. We can't say enough good things about our day with him....the highlight of our tour.
