Informative and engaging tour - Alan was our guide, a 17 year old with a 50 year old knowledge base of Sarajevo. He was great and the tour gave us a wonderful overview of where we needed to go back and spend more time. Highly recommend especially once you first arrive in the city.

Historically informative of locations both old and new. - The tour showcases many important sites both old and new - for me the scene of Franz Ferdinand’s death was the most interesting point in the tour. My guide Alan was very informative about events prior to that moment and the outcome it had leading to today.

Big recommendation - I've been to a lot of free walking tours all over the world and this was defenitly one of the best! In 2,5 hours Edin the guide did a great job in breaking down the complex political and religiouse history of BaH while showing us the top sights of Sarajevo. In addition, we got great tips for where to eat and which shops offer bosnian made products. Defenitly a big recommendation!
