I just finished a 10-day trip through Bosnia with the folks at Meet Bosnia and can honestly say it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. They made everything about my trip absolutely seamless from the moment they picked me up at the airport to the moment they dropped me back off. My first day in Sarajevo I had an amazing guide who took me all around Old Town and provided me with fascinating information about the history of the city, the craftsman still operating, the food being sold in the area, and the culture. My second day I had another incredible guide who took me to see the Tunnel of Hope and various sites related to the 1984 Sarajevo Olympics. My second day was capped off with an incredible dinner at the home of Bosnian family. It felt pretty cool to get an intimate look into the home life and cooking of a family from the area and spend some time having meaningful conversations about Bosnian culture. My journey through Bosnia continued over the next five days with overnight stops in Mostar and Bihac. Along the journey my guide took me on a slew of outstanding side/day trips that are almost too numerous to list here but I’ll try…Konjic and Tito’s Bunker, Blagaj and the Dervish House, Kravice to view the beautiful waterfalls, Jajce for the watermills and waterfall, Una National Park and its wonders including Strbacki Buk and Martin Brod, Drvar and Tito’s Cave, Ostrozac Castle, and Travnik and its majestic castle. I took a very emotional day trip to visit Srebrenica and learn more about the events that unfolded there in July 1995. My trip through Bosnia concluded with an outstanding hike to the oldest village in Bosnia, Lukomir that had views you can only picture in fairy tales. Throughout the duration of my trip the many guides that accompanied me were unbelievably generous with their willingness to share the personal experiences in Bosnia, and in particular, during the war in the 1990s. They were thoughtful, insightful, and clearly had so much love for their country that they wanted to share with me. I have been to many other European countries but have never felt such warmth and welcomeness as I did from those at Meet Bosnia. They made this trip a truly once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget. I look forward to returning to Sarajevo and Bosnia one day to revisit old favorites and to see the sites I missed, and I have no doubt that I will be reaching out to the team at Meet Bosnia when I do. I cannot recommend Meet Bosnia highly enough for anyone who is considering traveling to Bosnia.
