Would recommend unconditionally - A very in-depth tour of such a harrowing location. The guide was very knowledgeable and thoughtful, and was willing to answer any questions no matter their content. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to learn about the war - I spent a week in Sarajevo's many museums and cultural sites but did not truly understand what it meant before I visited here.

Though and emotional but definitely worth to visit - I came to Bosnia to visit Screberenica. Our guide Adnan has a wealth of knowledge and personal experience on the topic. I thought it was a though and emotional tour, but very worth it.

Very emotional but extremely important tour - I was expecting tons of people would join this tour and turns out it was just me and they didn't cancel it which was amazing. Adnan was the tour guide who was great. Its a 2h30m drive to the memorial complex and we spoke while enjoying a beautiful scenary. Adnan is a war veteran who is now a peace activist that participates in reconciliation initiatives in Bosnia so there's no better person to explain you everything that happened before, during and immediately after the war as well as currently. He was with me in the memorial site and gave me an overview of the rooms and pinpointed interesting things to see. Then we visited the cemitery and Srebrenica where he offered me a sandwich. On the way back we stopped and he also offered me a coffee. Srebrenica is a ghost town with a home vibe. I felt like it could be my hometown and you can feel the sadness and consequences of war. The price can be a bit high but take into consideration there's no other transportation there so you basically have a private transfer and like I said its 2h30 each way so it takes the entire day and you have a guide with a first hand account of the war, plus you are contributing to help Bosnia tourism industry. It is a very heavy tour emotionally speaking (physically speaking not so much, we didn't walk a lot) but an extremely important and necessary tour because Srebrenica was the first genocide in European soil after the Holocaust.

Insightful and historically important tour. - The Museum of the Srebrenica Genocide not only informed of the full series of events but detailed very well the intimate stories of the victims - this tour helps to understand the complicated modern situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Exceptional and powerful - A powerful, exceptionally run tour by Ibrahim and the team. You feel the impact of what happened here, but leave hopeful for the future. Ibrahim was excellent, and we became good friends throughout the trip. Highly recommended!

Great experience! - The excursion made a big impact on us. Our study tour guide Ibrahim was absolutely fantastic! We learnt a lot not only about Srebrenica, but also about Bosnia, its traditions and current political landscape. Thank you, hvala! Sara&Katsia

Unforgettable experience, amazing tour by Ibrahim - As someone who went to Srebrenica thinking I knew the basics, this study tour really does open your eyes to just how severe, intense and desperate the situation was. No book, website or museum outside of Srebrenica can convey the emotion of what happened in July 1995. However, another highlight of our tour was our guide, Ibrahim, he really was amazing. Open to questions, answering with great detail, information and insight and helping us understand what life was like during the war but particularly what happened in Srebrenica. A final note - to see Srebrenica as it is today is painful but a fitting close to the tour. The town, with many abandoned buildings, has a certain charm about it and it's actually quite unbelievable that such an innocent town - and country - could be put on the world map for such tragic reasons. If you are in Bosnia and Herzegovina, you absolutely MUST do this tour.

More than satisfied - Went to Mostar and Screbrenica via DB. What a very special experience this was. Pace was perfect. Being able to see a lot without getting tired. Mostar and the sights (nature, waterfalls, castle) were breathtaking. The driver was very skilled and the guide was also very knowledgeable. And booking the trip also went very well. They thought along and did everything they could to make my trip possible. Screbrenica was the reason for the trip to Bosnia. This was extra impressive because of the tour guide. Next time (and that will certainly come) I will book again through Balkan Tours.

Must do - It’s one thing to read about it or see a museum exhibit, but it’s a whole different experience to physically be there. The tour really left its mark and I’m grateful I was able pay respects and learn more about such a tragic part of our history. Regarding the guide himself he was fantastic. He was super informative and he shared his perspectives and experiences as an 18 year old fighting in Sarajevo. He was always happy to answer our questions and took good care of us and catered to our individual interests. For example, I was interested in visiting the main mosque in Srebenica town and he was happy to take the small diversion. On top all this, he was just a really interesting person that was easy to talk to and learn from. I would highly, highly recommend this tour to everyone.
