We have been to Sarajevo for the first time. Wonderful city that deserves to be seen. Our guide Vedran was exceptional, taking us to discover the history and cultures of the city! Highly recommended. We have also added the tour to the tunnel of hope. Here too, led by Vedran, we were accompanied in the history of Sarajevo during the war. Recommended

i have been to sarajevo before... it is the first time i booked a walking tour. Emina T. gave a detailed and empathetic presentation, from a detailed description of how Franz Ferdinand was murdered, to her personal experiences during the Yugoslav war back in 91-92, to drinking bosnian coffee with us and explaining the tradition of how to drink a bosnian coffee

We had a very enriching guided tour on the history of Sarajevo. I recommend Haris as a guide, his French is impeccable and he was able to pass on his love for this city. He was very friendly, we had very interesting exchanges on the history and culture of Sarajevo (and the country in general). I think it is an essential activity for the discovery of this city.
