Visit to Sarajevo's Tunnel of Hope - The visit was very interesting. In some rooms a video is shown that tells the story of the siege and the construction of the tunnel. The site is carefully preserved. There is also a book/gift shop. I suggest to reach it by car (it is far from the city center); there is a paid parking in front of the entrance.

Great tour guide, local knowledge - EMINA KOSO, our guide, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the tunnel of hope! She picked us up from spirit tours, and dropped us off at our hotel, and during the drive she told us so many interesting stories and facts about the siege of Sarajevo. The tunnel of hope was sad of course, but also informative on a very complicated subject. It was great having a local guide to learn from, and we would definitely do another tour with Emina.

Fascinating experience - A visit in this tunnel is a must to every visitor of Sarajevo. You can learn in a visit there the entire story of the siege of Sarajevo . You can understand how the the city has not fallen due to (partially) this tunnel.

Impressive travel to a monument of the human fighting spirit - Omar S., a still very young tour guide and beginner in this line of business, drove us in a van to sniper places, the Olympic hill and to the very impressive Tunnel of Hope. Very interesting explanations and anecdotes, in good English, from a friendly guy.
