    Charming and fun…really wanted us to make a nice bracelet and enjoy ourselves…his shop was in a nice community- lots of indolent cats! This was a very pleasant experience and we love and still wear our bracelets! I highly recommend…

    Excellent tour run by local people

    This was such a quirky and fun experience for us and the guides were so friendly and knowledgeable. Our guide, Mak, was really personable and great to talk to. He had a great knowledge of the city, country, and of the artwork therein and we got a lot out of our time on this tour, and of the full day to Mostar tour the following day. What stands these tours apart from others, we thought, is that the guides speak to you as friends and are very open and generous with their time. I really think that says a lot about how the company is run and the type of people that work there and I cannot recommend them more.

    great activity

    The artisan is patient and is bringing 21st century design to an old craft. He provides numerous designs and ideas that can be accomplished easily in time provided. Tour company gives a brief but informative tour of art and architecture before workshop. He has inspired me to build skill in this craft when I return home. My art piece is a great memory of trip and experience in his workshop.

    Fun day in Sarajevo

    Learning about how crafts were made in the old days is interesting but actually learning how to do it is even better. Highly recommend this tour.
