Go on the tour! - I highly recommend going on the tour with Armina (Arna), she was a fabulous guide! With a wealth of information! She took her time, I didn’t feel rushed and she explained so much of the history (very knowledgeable) she will give you a good understanding of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Sarajevo specifically! I went back to many places she recommended on my own! She recommended some of the best eats! Thank you Arna for making the tour such a pleasure! Don’t think twice…. GO WITH HER!

Sarajevo walking tour - I did the Sarajevo walking tour with Selma. My flight arrived later than expected so I missed the group tour but they graciously arranged for a private tour last minute. Selma is knowledgeable about the history and was a pleasure to walk around the city with. She gave me a bird’s eye view of the highlights in the city with lots of history and politics sprinkled in. Lively conversation. Highly recommend!

Amazing Walking Tour of Sarajevo - We had a fantastic time on the walking tour with Arna! Her knowledge of Sarajevo was impressive, and she went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable. We also appreciated how she even shared her hat and gloves when my wife got cold. Exploring the city with a local guide who knows so much and explains everything well truly enhanced our appreciation for Sarajevo. Highly recommend this tour if you’re in the city!

An unforgettable Sarajevo experience - My recent experience with the free walking tour - led by Arna - of Sarajevo's old town left an indelible mark on my travel memories. Arna is an exceptional guide and the tour offered a glimpse into the city's rich history. Our guide's impeccable command of English made communication effortless. Her depth of knowledge about Sarajevo's intricate past was truly impressive; she painted vivid pictures of the city's evolution through the ages, from its Ottoman roots to its modern-day resilience. What stood out most was the guide's genuine passion for sharing her city with us. She provided insightful commentary and encouraged questions. Her attentiveness to ensuring everyone's comfort and safety was commendable as it became progressively chilly as we walked around the city, which was a nice touch. I left the tour with a newfound appreciation for Sarajevo's cultural tapestry and a deep respect for its resilient spirit. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sarajevo. It's not just a tour; it's an invitation to delve into the heart and soul of this captivating city. Don't miss out on this unforgettable experience.
