Review of Sarajevo’s Fall of Yugoslavia tour, including the War Tunnel, Sniper Alley, Olympic sites, Trebević views, price, and practical tips.

“It’s a must do tour, if you are interested in history. Heavy but necessary. Fascinating incite to the fall of Yugoslavia and the siege of Sarajevo. Our guide gave us a personal insight. 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.”

Bosnia has such a rich history — I had no idea. His personal stories about the war were heartbreaking but so important to truly understand what these people endured. I fell in love with Bosnia and Mostar specifically after this tour.”

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. The included Bosnian coffee experience, which was supposed to be part of the cost did not happen. And while I understood that some admission fees (like the mosque) weren’t included, I expected the option to pay and go inside during the tour. Instead, we were told to come back later on our own, which was…”
