Arna Gave Us The Best Tour Ever! - What a great was to see the city and learn about the history, culture, and political information regarding Bosnia and Herzegovina as a whole. I felt like this brief walking tour took me across the whole country and more than 200 years of history all in just two and a half hours. Our tour guide Arna was both funny and professional. She capably demonstrated her extensive knowledge while making sure the facts were easy to understand and relatable. We got to view some interesting locations and hear the details behind them and their storied past. 10/10 I would do this tour again thanks to Arna the best tour guide in Sarajevo!

An excellent introduction to Sarajevo - We did the free walking tour with Armina and it was excellent. The tour covers most of the old town, but the amount of information that Armina was able to provide in 2 hours was unbelievable. We've done a number of these tours across the world and as a guide, she was by far the best. It is both fascinating and chilling to hear about the history of Sarajevo and the war of the 1990s from someone who experienced it. She was able to tell the story in detail, but at a level that visitors can appreciate. If you are visiting Sarajevo, this is a must.

Top marks - highly recommended! - Absolutely excellent. The tour route was comprehensive, and perhaps more importantly, Armina, our guide, was hugely knowledgeable, and extremely good at her job. She managed to strike that tricky balance between presenting information factually and neutrally; while not losing the personal touch, drawing on lived experience to illustrate the sometimes complex nature of the topics that she was describing. There was always the opportunity to ask questions, and Armina also took the time to get to know us as we walked round. Loved it. Thank you so much, Armina, for helping us to get to know your fascinating city.

Wonderful guide, fascinating tour - We had a wonderful tour of the Ottoman and Habsburg Old Towns with Hanan. She was a very informative and engaging guide, and gave us a really good overview of the history of Sarajevo. Just the two of us on our tour, and we came away feeling we had a much better understanding of this beautiful city. Hanan is a young woman with immense enthusiasm for, and pride in her hometown, and we really impressed by her guiding skills.

Disappointing Experience - We had heard great things about this tour but were left disappointed. Unfortunately our guide was disengaged and went through the motions, his main interest seemed to be in delivering us to shops where we were obviously expected to buy something. His knowledge was limited to his scripted spiel and he didn’t have answers to some pretty basic questions. When we asked to pause to take a photo his response was “if you insist”. The tour finished 15 mins early, and I suspect both he and we were relieved it was over with. There are plenty of potentially interesting things to see and learn on this tour, but I think it comes down to the luck of the draw on which guide you get.
