Keenan was a very considerate and knowledgable host. He answered any questions we had fully. It’s quite a difficult trip but we felt it was important to be aware and pay our respects to the fallen.
Informative and educational tour.

The museum was located at the former UN Dutch Battalion Headquarters. The exhibition is well designed. Worth a visit if you are interested to learn about the atrocities that took place in July 1995. A special thanks to our guide Kenan, who is very helpful and happy to answer all our questions.

Kenan was an excellent guide and met our needs. The cemetery and the memorial museum are very well done and present the details of the genocide with images, texts, and reproductions.

This was a beautiful, heavy but memorable visit to learn more about the genocide and massacre that occurred in Bosnia. Before the tour, they contacted us over Whatsapp and were very accommodating and communicative. During the tour, Kenan was an entertaining and knowledgeable guide, giving us ample time to explore the museums ourselves and spent time at the cemetery. He also had great taste in music!
Genocide!
