It’s mostly good but the guide’s English is not good. He spoke with low voice and with a lot of “drrrrrr” whenever there is an “r” sounds. Hard to understand and missed a lot of info.
Lea_D, Jun 2026
Amazing tour! Our guide Aco was really knowledgeable and made the tour feel personal. 100% recommend
Rachel_P, Jun 2026
I’d come to Sarajevo specifically to find out more about the war having read the novel “Black Butterflies”. It was within living memory for me but I realised I knew so little. I am so glad I took this tour. Armin was a first rate guide. He packed so much information into the tour and I left feeling much better informed. It’s also an excellent way of getting to sites which are slightly out of the way. Highly recommended
Meredith_W, Jun 2026
This tour was a highlight of our time in Sarajevo. Our guide, Ago, shared many stories that helped bring to life the experience of the seige and gave needed context to the geopolitics forces that caused it. He was very energized and upbeat, despite the somber content. He also took care for our comfort and understanding. We left with a hunger to keep learning about the history of Bosnia and an appreciation for the strength of it's people.
Carlina_W, Jun 2026
One of the most informative tours I’ve taken in a while! Our guide was truly the best! Definitely book this tour!
Damien_C, Jun 2026
We had a great trip our guide Tariq was brilliant, he explained the complexities of the break up of Yugoslavia and the Bosnian conflict clearly and from a personal perspective. We saw the tunnel, some city sights, the Bobsleigh and even a drive through East Sarajevo Rep S. Great guide and driver. Well worth the money I would highly recommend this tour. Easy to find the meeting point.
Janet_G, Jun 2026
Incredible experience that tells a great amount of the history of the siege. Ago was the best tour guide!
Brittany_D, May 2026
Starts at a lovely view point of the entire city. You learn about the different political parties. Then off to city tour that is in a mini bus. All the way to the tunnel near the airport. The tunnel part is a highlight and very interesting. Finally to the blob sled track! Beautiful sights while driving up the mountain. It started raining just as we got there, but still very very awesome. We plan to use the cable car to the top and hike down the sled track tomorrow. Guide was great with all the questions from the group and added some family history as well. Overall great 4 hrs!
Diana_L, May 2026
This tour is a must while in Sarajevo! I was lucky the tour group was small (only 3 of us). Armin was a great guide, driver, and photographer. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Sarajevo and was able to answer all my questions and even gave food recommendations. I was there by myself, so I appreciate him helping me take pictures too. He gave us plenty of time to look around on our own and even stopped at certain spots with nice views so we could take pictures. This tour was a great and comfortable way to see most of the sites in Sarajevo without the hassle of figuring out how to get there on your own.
Leslie_J, May 2026
Good way to start your visit. Get the basics and history. NOTE: horrendous traffic that impact the tour timing. Id recommend morning vs. Afternoon tour.

Armin was a great guide, very knowledgeable about the history and answered every question we had. He was pleasant, funny and was able to share personal stories from his families experience during the siege. I highly recommend this tour if you want to go beyond the surface and face some of the history that makes Sarajevo the vibrant, human, resilient city it is today.

What an amazing tour. Our guide was fantastic - spoke perfect English, was a natural story-teller, and knew his history. He was able to explain a complicated and politically nuanced situation in Bosnia & Herzegovina (as well as throughout the Balkan Peninsula) in a balanced, thoughtful and highly engaging way. We couldn’t have been happier with this tour.

A brilliant half day experience learning about the history of Sarajevo, whilst taking in all of the main sites and attractions. Would highly recommend booking this experience if travelling to Sarajevo - our guide was fantastic and great at telling stories about the cities history, including during the War. The whole experience was well organised and seamlessly. If you have limited time in Sarajevo, this is a brilliant way to see and learn about the city.

Almir was our guide, he was incredibly informative. His personal connection to all the sites and family history gave a unique and powerful insight. We got stuck in traffic for a while but he used the time to tell us more things and let the tour go a little long to make sure we still got to see everything. 10/10 would recommend doing this tour and if you can, request Almir as your guide.
Response from Host, Apr 2026

This was a really facinating tour.
The tour guide was exceptional in his explanation into the nuances and intricate history of this country and surrounding nations. My short attention span usually means i cant follow after 5 minutes of the tour and give up but this time i understood everything. It explained so many little details that i had seen in the city but had no understanding of.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Dear Mike,
Thank you very much for your kind review. We are really happy to hear that you found the tour fascinating and engaging.
It is especially nice to know that the guide’s way of explaining helped you stay interested and understand the history clearly, even the small details you noticed around the city. That is exactly what we aim for on our tours.
We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again on another experience.

This tour was gut-wrenching, in such an important way. We learned, more firsthand than we expected, about daily life during the Siege of Sarajevo from our guide, Almir. His personal experience made this deeply informative tour something that we will remember forever. We saw many major sites in Sarajevo, placed in context by his experience, such as war zones mere meters from his family home. This is a deeply moving tour, and will challenge you to face cruelty in an important way. Almir is a wonderful guide, and we were lucky to have him!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Dear Guest,
Thank you very much for your thoughtful and heartfelt review.
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. The Fall of Yugoslavia / Siege of Sarajevo tour is often a very emotional experience, and we are glad to hear that it gave you a deeper understanding of what life was like during that difficult period.
Almir will be very grateful to hear your kind words. Sharing his personal experiences is never easy, but it helps visitors understand the history of Sarajevo in a much more meaningful and human way.
Thank you again for your kind feedback. We are honored that this tour became such a memorable part of your visit.

Our guide Ayoub provided an unforgettable and highly informative tour of Sarajevo city. Ayoub’s pace and delivery was pitch perfect, allowing us time to ask questions and digest what we had heard.
Ayoub is incredibly knowledgeable and generous- speaking passionately and with such care about the horrors of the 90’s conflict, what lead to it and the after effects.
We will never forget the tour and it was the best introduction to Bosnia we could have ever asked for.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Dear Guest,
Thank you very much for sharing such thoughtful and meaningful feedback.
We’re truly honored to hear that your tour with Ayoub was such a memorable introduction to Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina. His careful pacing, openness to questions, and deep knowledge are qualities we value greatly, especially when discussing such a sensitive and complex period of our recent history.
It means a lot to us that the tour helped you better understand the causes, consequences, and lasting impact of the 1990s conflict, and that it left such a strong and lasting impression.
Thank you for choosing Meet Bosnia Tours and for your kind words. You will always be very welcome back.
