Exciting Olympic Tour - The Olympic tour was done on Wednesday, November 22, under winter weather conditions. It had snowed quite a bit the night before.
Fortunately, Senad, our driver, was an experienced driver and he reassured us in a special way. Despite the snow, we still went to the ski jumps and the bobsleigh track by car. This made it a special experience.
Senad told us a lot, he was aware of everything and gave very interesting information about both Sarajevo and the mountains in a light-hearted manner.

★★★★★★ - The tour was great. Jasmin was an amazing guide. Full of knowledge, very open and really friendly. He was more than happy to stop at any extra spots we passed that we wanted to take a look at (Igman hotel, Old hospital) . If you want to do an Olympic tour, this is the one to do.

A nice experience - I did enjoy the tour, although the weather was not very good and it was raining for the most part of it. Our guide, Aid, picked me up on time and was very informative. It was nice to see the outskirts of Sarajevo, the mountains and the Olympic museum. I would definitely recommend it.
