Merjem was really wonderful. She gave an informative and interesting tour. Very gracious! Also very humorous, to hear such intriguing story about the Great War.

As a history teacher I routinely teach the story of the assassination. This tour added to the details I teach and I actually had the opportunity to stand at the spot which was the door of the coffee shop from where the fatal shot was fired.
At the conclusion of the tour I received a book which revealed the fates of the five conspirators in the plot to dispatch Franz Ferdinand. There were so many new details, all delivered with enthusiasm and humor. This was my favorite Sarajevo tour, a difficult pick, since they were all good.
