This is the tour you want - The War Times Experience in Sarajevo - Half Day Tour far exceeded my expectations, thanks to my amazing guide Emir. He managed to thoroughly cover the challenging topic and always had more to share when I had questions. It was a great way to see history up close. I definitely recommend this tour.

Sarajevo ❤️ - We had to book a second tour with Kenan before leaving Sarajevo!!! Before leaving this gorgeous city, we took the Siege of Sarajevo tour, and it was a deeply impactful journey. As in the previous tour, Kenan was incredibly knowledgeable, very patient with our numerous questions, sharing poignant stories and detailed historical context. We explored many key sites but nothing prepared us to the Tunnel of Hope, where one could imagine and feel the enduring marks of the siege on the city. This tour provided a meaningful and respectful exploration of Sarajevo's history and the incredible resilience of its people. It's an essential experience for anyone interested in understanding the city's past.

Kenan's tour is wonderful, beautiful views of Sarejevo and the geography - Wonderful tour, it really helps to show the geography of Sarejevo and the surrounding mountains, how difficult the Siege was and the importance of the tunnel. Sweeping views of the valley and beautiful pictures. I'm happy I went as Spring is starting so lots of blooming trees and flowers. The Jewish museum is also very interesting and the head stones beautiful. The Yellow Fortress is a great stopping point and again the beautiful views of Sarejevo are seen.

Great & heavy history - We had a very interesting-and a very conveniant-Info Trip despite it went through Sarajevo‘s cruel war time, because our guide Kenan really could tell stories and really could answer our questions because of his nice character and his big knowledge. High recommendation!
