Highly recommend - Took the Fall of Yugoslavia tour, with Emin as our guide. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the topic, and gave us a personal and in-depth insight into the conflict, taking us to and showing us the key areas in and around Sarajevo. Highly recommend

Very Informative Tour - I had the pleasure of joining the Fall of Yugoslavia Tour with Ahmed as our tour guide. He was quite knowledgeable as he was a history student and he grew up in Sarajevo. It was a very informative tour of what happened in Sarajevo and the Balkans after Yugoslavia collapsed. I highly recommend it if you want to visit and see some of the important monuments, hear personal accounts and learn the history of this side of the Balkans. Hvala puno!

Insightful and an afternoon well spent. - I would very much recommend this tour- Ahmed was an excellent, very knowledgeable guide who was extremely proficient in English. Obviously a lot to reflect on but then also some fun taking a walk to the abandoned bobsleigh track at the end.

Informative, interesting and emotional tour - My partner and I had a half-day tour of Sarajevo focused on the war events of the 90s - the tour is called Fall of Yugoslavia and can be arranged privately if desired by calling or messaging the agency. Our guide, Alan, picked us up in his car right where we stayed and drove us around the city to significant landmarks and spots. We could not be happier with the way the tour went! Alan explained a lot of interesting facts to us, and patiently answered all our questions (and there were a lot!). He has been a knowledgeable and engaging guide without which we would not have had the opportunity to enjoy Sarajevo in all its beauty. The tour is highly recommended to everyone interested in finding out the reality of a horrible past, which effects are still felt to this day. Thank you Alan for this amazing day - hope we can be back for some more ice cream!

Excellent tour guide Ago. Complex and sad topic that was so well delivered. - Excellent tour that I would highly recommend as a must do when visiting Sarajevo. Brilliant guide on the day Ago. He gave excellent insight and shared personal stories. Incredibly sad and inspirational. I particularly liked learning about the building of the tunnels.

A must do tour while in Sarajevo! - Thank you Ago for a brilliant tour! It was the best afternoon but also some parts made me so sad with the stories of the war time and the struggles. Ago lived through the war as a child and he was amazing and so knowledgeable. An incredibly interesting afternoon, I learnt so much from Ago and will remember this afternoon for the rest of my life. I won't give too much away but this is a must do trip when you are in Sarajevo.
