Additional Information

Sarajevo boasts a vibrant subculture of street art. Historically, following the 1995 siege, the city was 95% damaged and left in a bleak, colorless state. The first wave of revitalization came from street artists, who brought life back to the city with their graffiti, murals, and other forms of street art. Each piece on the walls tells a story about our society and the city itself. You’ll encounter various interpretations, expressions, and colorful areas throughout the tour. Experience Sarajevo from a unique perspective, guided by local artists and certified tour guides. Join us for this exciting street art tour!

Fascinating glimpse into local art - My partner and I had a great time on this tour, strolling through Sarajevo with Mak and learning about the local street art scene. Sarajevo of course has a rich artistic and architectural history, but the tour is an opportunity to see art that would be easy to miss if sticking to the typical tourist routes and that shows how the aesthetic of the city continues to evolve. Mak is an excellent and friendly guide and it was great to hear directly from someone so familiar with the works and people who created them. We came away with a sense of Sarajevo as a city where people live, work, socialize and pursue their passions, and we are so glad we tried this tour.

Interesting context around street art in Sarajevo - Visited several different murals in and around the centre. My guide, Ado, provided not only information about the meaning and importance of each piece, but also some broader context for the pieces, including recent history and contemporary culture. Great way to see another side of Sarajevo. This was a private tour, easily arranged over email.

Great experience with Art and Tours - I booked 2 tours with Art and Tours: Roses of Sarajevo (with Mak) and Street Art (with Adnan). Mak and Adnan were very professional and friendly; they were happy to reply to questions and share personal stories tied to landmarks. Both tours were definitely worth it and taught me a lot about the city past and present. I had a wonderful time and I would absolutely recommend both tours to anyone visiting Sarajevo!

5 star Sarajevo - Mak is my brother from another Jamaican mother. I did this tour pretty last minute and Mak was super accommodating. He took me around and explained the history of the city, what some of the art means and why it was created. He showed me so many beautiful pieces of art that I would never have seen by myself. He also spoke great English and helped me find some cool souvenirs for the family.I definitely want to return and maybe do some of the other tours that this company offers

A great experience - I have learned a lot about street art in Sarajevo. Mak, my guide, have made the most to explain a person like me (with no idea about street art) the early history of street art in the city. Now I look at the walls searching for examples (like the blue flowers ;))

Great walk around the city and its art expressions - If you like to see the local art Expressions when you visit a city, this tour is perfect for you. My guide Mak has explained me every mural and graffiti that we saw around the city. And he doesn’t talk only about street art, he gives a lot of curious information about the city and its history. Thanks Mak, it was a great experience; you made me look with other eyes the city and its walls. I will never forget the lovely story of the blue flowers ;-)
