So friendly and answered all our questions on such a complex past. We got a decent amount of time at each stop, and we had a comfortable mini van and great driver, with our guide pointing out sights and giving us extra information in between.”

This was my final activity after several days in Sarajevo / Bosnia, and it really helped me to understand the recent war better than any other museum / tour. Adnar is a veteran of the war who ever since has worked toward peace , understanding, and reconciliation. He is very wise and we can all learn from his experience and advice. I recommend this tour for anyone hoping to better understand the war, see the important sites , and to get good views of the city.”

“Our guide was wonderful—friendly, personable, and very knowledgeable. He even shared stories about his father, which made the experience feel incredibly personal and memorable. I enjoyed learning about Sarajevo’s history and seeing the cultural landmarks of the city. That said, the tour was advertised as 5 hours, but ours lasted only 3, which felt rushed.
