Amazing tour in Sarajevo

5.00My guide Salem was the veteran that brought me around the city. He shared a lot of incidents and stories about him as well as the city. I learned a lot from this tour, and I would not have done so if I didn’t join the tour. The weather was not so great during the tour with heavy snow, but Salem is a great driver and still brought me to the spots. Great tour overall, would highly recommend.
Well worth the trip to Sarajevo.

5.00If you want an in-depth understanding the Yugoslav wars, this is definitely the experience. I walked away with a clear understanding of a very popular conflict that I previously did not understand. Going to the places of the war helped give a real understanding of the situation. The guide is very nice and intelligent. If you are in Sarajevo, you must go on this tour.
Really Interesting And Well Organized

5.00There were a bunch of different options to choose from in terms of war tours and I'm so glad we went with this one. The small group made it possible for our guide to answer all our many, many questions -- he was super informative about the locations we were visiting as well as geopolitical details we wanted to know about. I would definitely recommend this particular tour for anyone looking for a more education trip with a really great guide.

5.00Fantastic morning war tour of Sarajevo. We were lucky enough to have Enes as our tour guide, who had so much knowledge to share. He made everything fascinating, with his passion and humour. Ended the tour with a shared beer with our guide and brief friend. 😀
Very interesting tour

5.00The tour was very interesting and informative. Our veteran guide shared powerful stories about the war, the Olympic Games, and his own personal experiences. We visited key locations of the attacks. I recommend it to everybody.

5.00I thought the tour was fantastic, I am currently travelling Europe and have been on lots of different tours but this is by far the best. The guide Mustafa was amazing I had really good conversations about the history and how people felt and helped my understand it from the perspective of people here compared to the western perspective. His experiences and knowledge was fantastic about Yugoslavia as a whole was fantastic
Fantastic Tour

5.00Booked this for my first day in Sarajevo and had a fantastic time. The driver picked me up from my hotel and even drove around the airport 3 times to try and find 2 other guests who eventually turned up- very good of him, I'd have given up after the first attempt! The tour was excellent, all thanks to the guide who became more like an old friend. He was enthusiastic and not scared if sharing his opinions. I learnt alot about the Bosnian war from him. The Tunnel of Peace was interesting but the stop at Trevebic Mountain was the highlight- despite terrible weather, he took us for a walk around and along the bobsleigh track with amazing views over Sarajevo. At the end of the tour, the guide offered several drop off points close to all of our hotels/accommodation. I'd thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sarajevo.
An emotionally-packed day

5.00This was an important, educational day led by the warm, knowledgeable Adnan, a political scientist and veteran of the Sarajevo Siege. For those with only a vague recollection of the time, Adnan filled the blanks with a history of region and a detailed account of then-contemporary happenings thru visits to the war tunnels, the '84 bobsled run and the Jewish cemetery, the latter used by snipers to massacre others. One leaves with a sense of heroics by so many and the sadness of the cruelty some can impart on our fellow human beings.
Unmissable tour.

5.00We booked with Funky Tours, who were great. Our tour guide Adnan and explained things so well, even the video at tunnel of hope he went through with us, and we had a much more better understanding of the area we were in, and first hand knowledge from someone who fought, and experienced everything. Definitely recommend going on this tour.
