Kenan was an amazing tour guide! He drove very safely during the tour, especially when it was foggy out. He was very knowledgeable and personable. We had so much fun taking pictures and hearing about the history of Bosnia, the sites we visited, and the different cultures. Bosnia Herzegovina is truly a hidden gem of the world! I will be recommending this tour to all my friends and family. He went above and beyond for any request to visit a store. He provided delicious sandwiches, took pictures for us, and honestly was one of the best tour guides we have ever had. We also taught him a thing or two about mallards. It was such an amazing experience and beautiful country! He explained the history and culture very clearly. Thank you for having us!

The Tour was great, despite the grim topic of a City under siege. My tourguide, Haris was very approachable and super friendly. Above all he was able to transfer this very complicated history from its pre-yugoslav beginnings till it s sad outcome into a accesible Form which often became a dialogue that was very informative but always open for discussions. Apart from the war I was also given the opportunity to understand the cities open culture better than before. Highly recommended!

The guide was really great, his English was very easy to understand. The tour group was just the three of us. He took us up the mountain toward the ruins and around a cemetary. Allowed us to get fresh pomegranate juice and drink a coffee with a beautiful view. Highly recommend this as a familiarisation tour when you first arrive! We even got the full story and to see the site where Franz Ferdinand was assassinated. Thank you to the your guide who made this a great tour!

We had a great time and learned so much history of Sarajevo! The tour guide was so knowledgeable and explained the events, culture, and history of the war very well!
