About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Y4315ZZjoseb0 contributionsGreat history lessonNothing better than to listen to the history from the locals. Terrible tragedy. Important to remember. We humans need to be reminded that hate does not get us anywhere. Love and healing is key to our success as speciesWritten October 10, 2024
- 987meldas0 contributionsBest insight into the emergence of Bosnia and HerzogovinaThe 'Fall of Yugoslavia' tour with our guide Alan and driver Faruk was fantastic... so informative, it helped to put modern Bosnia and Herzogovina in context and with first-hand memories gave us an insight into how this amazing resilient city held out during the horrifying 4 year siege. I would HIGHLY recommend this 4 hour tour.Written October 8, 2024
- 458vikkib0 contributionsAn excellent tour of local food and drinkTariq was knowledgeable and helpful with his approach to eight guests who were experiencing Bosnia for the first time. Pace of the tour was perfect. We highly recommend the tour!Written October 8, 2024
- 458vikkib0 contributionsA great way to see the countryOur tour was affected by the recent floods in the area but communication with the company was excellent throughout. They kept us up to date with the situation and any changes that were required. Almir was a absolute joy welcoming us all to the new itinerary, he balanced knowledge with funny stories and great music. It was a long day but a wonderful way to see more of the country. Very humbled to hear first hand accounts of the war and how life is here now. Will have to come back to see the falls.Written October 8, 2024
- U1004MXbarbaras0 contributionsHighly recommendI recommend trips with this company. Everything can be arranged via Whatsapp. Clear rules, reasonable prices. Very honest approach. Great commitment of guides. We were on 3 trips. Guide Armina I Senad - great knowledge, knowledge of his country, I highly recommend.Written October 8, 2024
- EDAMASHEK0 contributionsThree great tours with Meet BosniaWe did three tours with Meet Bosnia - a Belgrade to Sarajevo tour/transfer, a walking tour in Sarajevo, and a Fall of Yugoslavia tour. We had a great experience with all of them! Meet Bosnia’s guides are consistently excellent - we went with Adnan, Arna, Ahmed, and Marko.Written October 8, 2024
- Passenger280129443580 contributionsGreat custom tourOur hotel arranged a private four hour tour. Allen our guide customized it based upon a few questions he asked at the very beginning. He is a student but his knowledge and personal communication skills are greater than his age. Context is king, and he was able to explain Bosnia’s complex history in a way that was easy to understand. Make sure to book with them and ask for him.Written October 6, 2024
- JT03930 contributionsEye-opening, emotive and enlighteningThis was a memorable experience about a chapter of modern history that must never be forgotten. The tour was thought-provoking and emotive from start to finish. Our guide, Alan, was excellent, providing not only a wealth of knowledge but also a personal touch that made the narrative deeply compelling. I came away feeling inspired by the extraordinary stories of courage and resilience during a time of unimaginable hardship. The service from Meet Bosnia Tours was impeccable, and I highly recommend the agency to anyone visiting Sarajevo. This particular tour is an absolute must if you are curious to learn about the recent past and the realities of the war from first-hand insights.Written October 5, 2024
- danieljN6654PP0 contributionsA fascinating tour of Sarajevo's recent pastA very interesting afternoon tour of Sarajevo, with an in depth explanation of everything the city has gone through. I don't want to use the word fantastic to describe the tour, given the sheer level of violence and loss of life, but it was well worth taking the tour. Our guide-Armin was fantastic, very knowledgeable, and with a good dry sense of humour, which I enjoyed.Written October 4, 2024
- iowacityia0 contributionsSunday, September 22nd, amazing visit with our host family.My wife and I were lucky enough to spend a couple hours with our host family in Sarajevo. I am hesitant to give out any personal family details of the visit, as this occasion was quite special for all of us, and those details shall be kept between us. I will say our initial contact for the evening was a wonderful young woman, who guided us through the evening with our host family. She assisted with translating, and our conversations. It worked out wonderfully. Of course we were treated amazingly well. We had so much fun. And I was indeed hungry, and warned them I had a huge appetite. I did, and the food was amazing, start to finish. I even got to the point where I had to tap out, on eating. They had broke me with all of the wonderful food. The food was great, but the company and conversation was even better. I/we did not take any photos during our visit, but we have amazing memories to look back on. Thank you.Written October 4, 2024

- Trip-wes0 contributionsExcellent service thank youThe booking process was simple to use and I quickly received a confirmation email, the lovely driver was on time to collect me from my air B&B apartment, the van was in excellent condition and the driver dealt with my luggage for me, the driver talked to me about my time in Bosnia and seemed interested in what things I had done and what I thought was the highlight, as an older woman travelling alone feeling safe and secure is important to me, both the tour operators I used looked after me perfectly, in fact everyone I met in Bosnia was lovely and also helpful, beautiful country lots to see and do, meet Bosnia tours thank you for getting me to the airport in plenty of time for my flightWritten October 2, 2024
- Lifeaft0 contributionsExcellent tour and amazing guideThis was a wonderful tour. The guide (Arna?) was excellent and gave us the history and so many details about what we were seeing. She was so considerate about mobility issues and bathroom breaks. She was very clear about when and where to meet at each stop. The stops were all so interesting. Definitely take this tour.Written October 1, 2024
- 670anastasiai0 contributionsVery nice experienceThank you Arna for the lovely experience. The driver was excellent at driving and they brought us to see many beautiful places. I love how the trip includes water and sandwiches for everyone, on top of that they come and collect you and leave you at your hotel too if you need to. If you don’t want to rent a car or don’t have much time I vividly recommend this tour. Bosnia is a beautiful country and deserves more tourism.Written October 1, 2024

This is a must-do tour. Sarajevo's rich Jewish story is hiding in plain sight; you need a guide to help you see and interpret it. Our guide, Ahmed, was brilliant -- knowledgeable, communicative, and the company was great about getting us connected.

The Sarajevo Jewish Tour was exactly what I wanted. The guide, Arna, was knowledgeable, prepared and personally engaging. She planned a route that included the greatest number of sites. She shared personal stories and made the history real.

This tour is really special. We learned a lot about the history, culture and life of Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews in the territory of present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina. Through our tour guide Armina, who guided us through Sarajevo very competently and with a lot of heart, we learned a lot of new things. During the visit to the synagogue, members of the Jewish community had the opportunity to speak directly. This tour is an absolute highlight.

Fabulous tour with Eden. His knowledge of the Jewish history of Sarajevo is great.
Very charming and attentive and very willing to answer all questions. The big draw here is the Sarajevo Hagaddah which can only be seen twice a week for 1 hour. We are very thankful to Eden for pointing this out to us and arranging our tour around this.

Dear Naomi,
Thank you so much for joining our tour and for this great review. History, culture, tradition and religious monuments of Jews who lived and still are living in our country are something very important to know if you want to understand history of this region in general. We are very glad that you have learned a lot from this tour, that you have seen worldwide famous Hagaddah and that you liked Edin so much. Hope to see you again.

I will be traveling with Overseas Adventure Travel and free the afternoons of Sept 8 and sept 9. I’d like to take your tour. Do either of these times work to view the Haggadah? I read that there is limited viewing.
