    Perfect introduction to Bosnian cuisine

    Kathleen_S, Nov 2025
    The food tour of the old town was a perfect introduction to Sarajevo culture and cuisine. Denis was very knowledgeable in explaining the cuisine and the culture of Bosnia.

    Dennis was an amazing guide who showed us all his favourite places where the locals go. We left completely stuffed and feeling like we finally got a true taste of Bosnian cuisine. He was also full of a ton of interesting information and history. This tour is well worth it.

    Response from Host, Sep 2024

    Go hungry!

    Don’t eat before going a this awesome tour. You get to sample ten delicious different dishes. It was my lunch and dinner. Out of the ten dishes there was only one (fermented corn milk) that I wouldn’t try again but glad I tried it once!

    Response from Host, Aug 2024

    Dear guest, thank you for this amazing review! We are thrilled to see it was a great and positive experience. It was a pleasure to host you and to share with you the secrets and recipes of the rich and delicious Bosnian cuisine. Kind regards!

    Incredible, book if you love food!

    James_W, Jun 2024
    Ilma, our tour guide, was so fun and a great guide. Apparently we were one of the first tourists to book this experience and we absolutely loved trying so many different traditional Bosnia dishes and drinks! We normally get a bit tired on just a history tour so we decided to do a food tour instead which was perfect for us. We still learned a bit of history while eating local food. We even got to visit a local metal craft shop that makes home decorations and other items. We tried burek, cevapi, chicken soup, boza corn drink, handmade meats and cheeses, and other items. We were supposed to also try Bosnian coffee but there was an incidental, rare country-wide power outage so we had fresh juice instead which was very tasty. Overall, I highly recommend this experience and it was certainly a highlight of our trip. Of course, it’s cheaper if you book directly with the tour operator. Thank you so much!! Hvala!

    Response from Host, Jul 2024

    Dear guest, Thank you for your excellent review! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour and discovered some of the city's hidden gems with us. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back for another tour soon! Kind regards!

    Excellent food tour of Old Town

    Thane_M, Jun 2023
    Our group of three friends thoroughly enjoyed this food tour in the beautiful city of Sarajevo. Our tour guide (Alim) was engaging and knowledgeable on the culture and food of the area. We met at the tour office in old town and he led us throughout the city to different culinary and historical spots - his passion for the food an culture of the area was shown in his storytelling and knowledge. The food tour provided an excellent orientation of old town and introduced many foods that I'd never heard of - but subsequently enjoyed several more times during our time in Sarajevo. The food was excellent - the portions were larger than your typical food tour - so the walking definitely helped manage the fullness (and the calories). Excellent way to spend half a day in Sarajevo - would definitely recommend to friends and family.

    Response from Host, Jun 2023

    Dear guests, we are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and the food with our guide Alem. Thank you also for such a nice review. We are looking forward to see you again in Sarajevo. Best regards, Insider
