Full description

Start your tour with transportation to the War Tunnel Museum. On the way (25-30 minutes) receive a short introduction to the topics of the war and see important sites and buildings with your own eyes, which you will later hear about again in the museum. Arrive at the Tunnel of Hope, learn about the position of the museum and its famous mark in front of the entrance named "Sarajevo Rose". After seeing a short movie, a one-hour-long presentation starts, which will explain the fall of Yugoslavia, the war in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Herzegovina, and the creation and importance of the tunnel.  After the Tunnel, head toward the 1984 Olympic mountain Trebević, which is the closest mountain to the center of Sarajevo and was part of the front line during the siege of Sarajevo. At the site, you have the opportunity to see and walk in the destroyed hotel of Osmice. From there experience the most beautiful panoramic views of Sarajevo which unfortunately were also the main positions of the enemy army.     Just under the Trebevic Mountain lies the second largest Jewish cemetery in Europe. The cemetery contains unique shaped tombstones that can only be seen in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is believed their shape is influenced by medieval Bosnian tombstones that are named "Stecak". Head towards the old Ottoman part of the city to visit the Yellow Fortress. The last stop of the tour is the "Shehidi" (Martyr) cemetery, the resting place of the soldiers that gave their life for independent Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the heart of the cemetery lies the grave of the first Bosnian president Alija Izetbegovic.

The tour was worth it for sure, the guide who survived the Sarajevo siege, was knowledgable and told a lot of stories from that time. It was interesting and made people understand better the nuances of the war. The communication with the provider was very good, everything was organized smoothly.

Phenomenal experience with Adnan. His firsthand accounts of his experiences during the war are something were very powerful. He had tons of knowledge and the tour itself was great. It really showed the atrocities of the war that are still visible in everyday Sarajevo. I will remember the things I saw and heard about for the rest of my life. An absolutely incredible experience that I highly recommend to everyone visiting this great country.

The tour with Adnan was amazing!! So blessed to have a war veteran share his personal experiences and insight into the war, he had so much knowledge and was great to have a chat in general with! Such a sad history and complex but he made it understandable! The abandoned bobsled track was cool to see!
