The free walking tour was relatively light hearted and fun. Our tour guide created an excellent atmosphere whilst providing background on the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, the medieval history of the old town as well as briefly touching on the recent siege. The 'Times of Misfortune' tour was a lot heavier in terms of dealing with what was a tragic... More

We did both the Tunel Tour and the free walking tour and were very happy with both. Our guides are terrific - for both tours we had guides that had actually lived through the Siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War who shared personal experiences in addition to providing the standard tourist information. The time spent on these tours not... More

We did the "Times of misfortune" tour with Samra. Great tour, with lots of insight into the history, the politics and the way of life if Sarajevo from someone with first hand experience of the siege. We were driven around the city, up to places where the Serbian front line stood, to one of the cemeteries, and to the tunnel... More

Insider has many tours and we went on the "Tunnel" one and thought it average... but the free walking tour (tips of course in the end) with a very young man called "Harum" was excellent. He was funny insightful and knowledgeable. Really willing to explain and answer questions... someone who obviously has much love for his city and its History.... More

Our guide, Adnan, and our driver (sorry I don't remember his name) were very helpful and informative, providing personal anecdotes as well. This is an amazing tour going around town, up in the hills, out to the airport area and tunnel -- all excellent spots to learn, hear, see and ask about the siege and bombardment of a civilian population...

This was the first of three tours that we took in Sarajevo. It was a walking tour, given by a very enthusiastic high school student, who aspires to be the mayor in a few years. He was very knowledgeable about the history and showed us all of the major sites within the city. We learned about the centuries of history... More

Great tour covering the founding of Sarajevo right up until the war and beyond. Covering Orthodox, Catholic, Mosques and Synagogue and this is just the beginning. Guide was very informative and great discussion on customs and discussions on war and it's devastating impact More

My wife and I were in Sarajevo in April 2012 and arranged this tour with Adnan at short notice. It was an excellent tour that showed us many of the sites that were important during the terrible seige of the 1990s. These included the tunnel under the airport. Adnan was very knowledgeable and kept up a good commentary as we... More

After some days drifting along around streets, cafés, monuments, museums and whatsoever, we felt we had much, but unconnected knowledge about this rich country of Bosnia and Herzegovina. We decided to take this tour because it was free and due to this same reason, we didn't think it would be so good. But our guide, Nermina, a nice bosnian young... More

My name is Nathan Ober and I recently visited Sarajevo for a week as a part of a group of American students studying in Copenhagen. We were extremely fortunate to be given a tour (the "Times of Misfortune" Tour) of the tunnel into the city as well as a bus tour that stopped at several places, including the Olympic Complex...
