- 269gabib0 contributionsGood Tour to do.The tour guide was very knowledgable but I did not like that the car smelled of smoke. I am a non smoker. I could ask as many questions as I wanted.Written December 30, 2024
- CHKAN950 contributionsCompelling tourThis tour is highly educational for those seeking to understand war atrocities in our recent history. There are many footage and texts providing deep insights into the developments in Srebrenica during the Bosnian War. In addition, my guide Ken was happy to offer further explanations and clarify my doubts after the visit. It was certainly a meaningful experience.Written December 30, 2024
- 282mikaelb0 contributionsGreat tour with friendly and passionate guide!Awesome tour with cool stops. Our guide Emir was great, really knowledgeable and passionate about Bosnian history and about the places we visited. Blagaj is really beautiful and Pocitelj has a really interesting history with Great views. The city of Mostar speaks for itself and was great, even though we went in december.Written December 10, 2024
- rajaula20240 contributionsA great experience with EmirFantastic service from the very moment we have met Emir He was helpful, very thorough and informative. He was also a great company and very patient for the entirety of the tour. We really enjoyed ourselves and he exceeded our expectations for this tour. My wife and I could not recommend him enough to everyone. Thank you for making this trip a memorable one.Written December 9, 2024
- B8753UAjohne0 contributionsMozart Bridge with a glass of wineI’ve been wanting to visit the Mostar Old Bridge for some years now, and I can say it exceeded my expectations. Our tour guide Emir did a great job. Although the trip for Sarajevo was a two hour drive, the time went by quickly as Emir talked to us about the history of Bosnia. Very informative and entertaining. Some of the stops along the way at Kravica and Pocitelj were nice too. We got to visit the bridge in Mostar for 3 hours which was really nice. Having a glass (or two or three) of wine and watching the bridge light up as the sun went down was really nice. I recommend this trip to anyone who visits Sarajevo.Written December 5, 2024

- serenaphxng0 contributionsThe BEST tour! A must when in SarajevoWe had an incredible tour with Ken. From start to finish we had so much fun and Ken was really informative. He made us feel welcome and comfortable the whole time. It was lovely having a small group tour because we got to ask loads of questions, take photos and explore everything we wanted! If you’re looking to book a Jajce, Travnik and Pliva trip honestly this is the best and only one to book with. Ken is one of a kind and you can tell he really loves what he does and is amazing at it too!! 100% recommend!!!Written November 23, 2024
- Wanderer088748691740 contributions10/10 Experience, Incredible Tour!!Truly amazing experience. Kenan from the tour agency was so helpful beforehand, with communicating the plan in general and also with accommodating our need to get to the airport right after. Emir, our tour guide, was so nice, friendly, and knowledgeable, overall great guide. All the stops were gorgeous and awe-inspiring. They went above and beyond and even dropped us off at the airport on the way back. Highly recommend this tour!!Written November 13, 2024

- inasM1161YL0 contributionsMust See Falls!I had the most amazing experience in today’s tour! I was meant to go on a group tour but no one else signed up, Ken was still very accommodating and we went on a solo tour! He was very engaging and a hilarious guide which made the tour a blast. The waterfalls were beautiful and the Pliva water mills are a must see!! Highly recommend you give this a go when you’re in Sarajevo.Written November 7, 2024
- diyab0 contributionsWonderful way to see more of BosniaThis is a perfect tour if you want to see and learn more about Bosnia. We went to 4 different locations and each one great and really worth seeingl, but it didn't feel rushed as we had plenty of time in each location. Our guide, Kenan, was very enthusiastic about sharing information about Bosnia and you could really tell how passionate he is about his country.Written November 6, 2024

The tour stops at various locations that are important from a historical point of view or simply offer a great view of the city of Sarajevo, which is great for taking pictures. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and has a very good style of telling tourists all the stories and facts about the places that are visited on the tour. The war tunnel museum was very impressive and it was interesting for me to learn more about the recent history of Sarajevo. I can highly recommend this tour to anyone. It's great to have a tour guide with you who can answer all your questions and you will definitely learn a lot and see many interesting things on this tour.

Ken was introduced to me and my fiancee by Asim as our tour is guide around Sarajevo and just in the first 10 minutes I was sure that would be an awesome tour, due to his kindness and how the way the tour was conducted by himself in terms of patient, overall affluence details, sensibility and of course, as been previously known, the sense of humor on the right time. Ken was born in 1993 during the war and, moreover, he has parents whose also worked during the war. Apart from these informations, there was nothing better to listen with such precise details and patience about what was happened there, meet every location previously explained by him according to the tour itself and after all, win a great friend! I would strongly recommend Ken as your guide around Sarajevo and so many other parts of the town!!

Dear Iata,
What more can I say?. I'm so happy that I had the opportunity to meet you and your future wife Mara and that we became such great friends in a few hours. Thank you so much for these amazing compliments, I'm happy that you enjoyed my stories and had a great experience, also that you were able to learn a bit more about these misfortunate times in Bosnian history! I'm always trying to give a personal touch to my tours, and that's what makes them so unique and great. I'm glad you noticed it and enjoyed it fully. You were so kind and patient with me as well, I thank you for that. I wish you all the best, I'm glad that I had the opportunity to meet you and become friends with you and your wife-to-be. You are always welcome in Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina! We will meet again in Brasil someday! Stay safe and have a nice flight ;)!
Until next time,

We had to book a second tour with Kenan before leaving Sarajevo!!!
Before leaving this gorgeous city, we took the Siege of Sarajevo tour, and it was a deeply impactful journey. As in the previous tour, Kenan was incredibly knowledgeable, very patient with our numerous questions, sharing poignant stories and detailed historical context. We explored many key sites but nothing prepared us to the Tunnel of Hope, where one could imagine and feel the enduring marks of the siege on the city. This tour provided a meaningful and respectful exploration of Sarajevo's history and the incredible resilience of its people. It's an essential experience for anyone interested in understanding the city's past.

Had a full day tour that included a walking tour of Sarajevo city centre, the Tunnel of Hope and the Jewish cemetery. Ken was super knowledgeable and displayed great enthusiasm when we discussed the details about the landmarks and the city’s history. Apart from that, we got to see nice views of the city in winter, and did all that with sufficient time. I definitely recommend Ken and his agency.

Great tour with interesting stops. Our guide Emir was really knowledgeable and provided many interesting facts along the way. He was also really passionate about Bosnia and provided a quite optimistic future for the younger generation in the country. Beeing up on the hillside looking down on the city and imagining a people under siege was a scary but important experience.

This was such an interesting tour. So glad we had Emir as our guide as he was very knowledgeable. He could answer all my questions! He was also very good at explaining it in a way our children would understand. He was also understanding that three young boys won’t always listen perfectly!
It was so interesting to learn about what the people of Sarajevo went through so to see the tunnel really brought it to life. A brilliant history lesson for our children, which I hope will stay with them.

Wonderful tour, it really helps to show the geography of Sarejevo and the surrounding mountains, how difficult the Siege was and the importance of the tunnel. Sweeping views of the valley and beautiful pictures. I'm happy I went as Spring is starting so lots of blooming trees and flowers. The Jewish museum is also very interesting and the head stones beautiful. The Yellow Fortress is a great stopping point and again the beautiful views of Sarejevo are seen.
