This excursion is a must-visit for anyone interested in understanding the city's past and the - I recently visited the Tunnel of Hope in Sarajevo, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our host was incredibly knowledgeable, providing detailed insights into the history and significance of the tunnel. While the information shared was confronting, it powerfully illustrated the determination and resilience of Sarajevo's people during the siege. This excursion is a must-visit for anyone interested in understanding the city's past and the strength of its inhabitants.

Wonderful tour - The guide , who lived through the siege was so informative and keen to tell as much as he could about everthing. Tour was supposed to be 2 1/2 but went for an extra hour- very good.

Engaging tour with personal anecdotes - Our guide Emina was born during the war and many of her family members and her father was a war veteran. She spoke and gave her personal insights which was very engaging. Complex politics of Sarajevo - She tried to explain. The tunnel is a real testament to the human resilience and makes you wonder how low humanity has to fall to siege and kill ordinary civilians that they have to use a tunnel for the rays of hope and light! Highly recommended. Do take a pen with you if want to sign the comment book over the tunnel house as there was no ink in the pen :)… Sniper alley is on the way and back and you can see the gun shots on the facade of buildings opposite

Tunnel under repair - On a glorious summer's day we ventured to see this tunnel, unfortunately due to repairs being undertaken, we were unable to enter the tunnel, although we did ignore a sign telling us not to, The old "we don't speak Bosnian " was going to be out excuse if we got pulled up. A film on show was interesting enough and some of the exhibits was ok. On paying, maybe a word that the tunnel was closed would have helped.
