Hands down the best tour ever!! - Wow, what an amazing tour!! It’s hard to sum it up in this tiny paragraph but this was easily one of the best tours I’ve been on. I’m from here and I’ve learned so much about Sarajevo that I didn’t know!! Our guide was Enes, and I have to say that he was the highlight of the tour, the main reason why I will never forget this experience. Right from the start I could see that he is very professional and courteous. Contacted me via WhatsApp to confirm the pickup time and location one day prior. The day of the tour he was at the pickup location early, took us to the Tunnel and gave us a very informative tour around. He knows the family that lives there who helped build the tunnel, and we got to meet the lady of the house who made us coffee and delicious traditional snacks (ustipci!!). Yummm!!! After that, we went to Trebevic, the old Jewish cemetery, old town Bascarsija, had coffee and desserts at the traditional pastry shop, visited all the main highlights. I really appreciated everything that our guide Enes was doing to make this tour so enjoyable- all the good stories, the details, the pictures on his iPad to accompany the stories (a picture is worth a thousand words) about the history, the war, the culture. And all that with so much energy, enthusiasm, and, of course, good hearty humor and funny jokes. The hours just flew by. I cannot recommend this enough, it’s a must do tour. Thank you Enes!!!

Monday, September 23rd, 9am tour. - Our guide met us at our hotel. After greetings, we were on our way for the walking tour part of the grand tour. I am embarrassed to say I do not remember our guides name. And I didn’t document it on my phone either. I will say that he was very good as a walking guide, and equally as good with driving around the area. He was very knowledgeable, and a joy to visit with, and share stories with. Very personable. We had a lovely day too. My wife had our guide to ourselves today, so all the attention was on us. It was so much fun. We made it to all of the promised locations. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, and the hours flew by. We finished our tour with a sit down for Bosnian coffee in the old town. I would do this tour again if I came back to Sarajevo.

E joy the Sarajevo history with an outstanding guide and driver - We selected the grand tour of Sarajevo with Mage Tours. The guide cum driver, Elvis, did an outstanding job of conducting us around all the lovely historical and tourist sits in and around Sarajevo. He knew the history of Bosnia and explained in detail every aspect of the city. A very charming young man and most helpful, strongly recommend him for any tours in Bosnia
