It was very private tour, only me. Suad is a great person, friendly, welcoming and a knowledgeable guide. He also spent extra time with me in the city and suggested places to eat. Great tour from an Islamic perspective. All the best from Rome, my friend!

Informative and interesting tour

Celeste_K, Aug 2025
This walking tour was informative and overall a great addition to our time in Sarajevo. Our tour guide, Fuad, was intelligent and friendly, and gave us a great overview of Sarajevo’s Islamic history and culture. Our favorite parts of the tour included the madrasa and the restored 18th century Ottoman home. It did involve quite a bit of walking uphill, so wear comfortable shoes. A great tour for travelers interested in Ottoman history, particularly in Bosnia’s unique history with Islam, as Sarajevo is one of the only Muslim-majority cities in Europe.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Dear guest, Thank you for being part of our tour and for your kind words. It means a lot to us to know that you enjoyed the time spent exploring Sarajevo with us. We always do our best to offer meaningful and memorable experiences, and we’re truly glad to hear it made a good impression. Thank you again for your time and your feedback. Warm greetings from Sarajevo, Insider Sarajevo Team

Must Do in Sarajevo

Laurel_W, Mar 2023
This tour was truly exceptional. My guide was kind and insightful, sharing some wonderful places in Sarajevo and doing a great job of telling the story of Islam in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I felt comfortable asking questions and we had a cup of coffee together. This is a must to start your journey in BiH.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Dear Laurel, we are very happy to hear that our colleague fulfilled your expectation and that you are satisfied. Once again thank you for such nice words. Hope to see you again in Sarajevo. Sarajevo Insider
