Best tour if you want to know more about Sarajevos recent history and siege 1992 - 1995. Includes visit to Tunnel of Hope Museum.
Tunnel of Hope was an underground tunnel constructed between March and June 1993 during the Siege of Sarajevo in the midst of the Bosnian War. It was built by the Bosnian Army in order to link the city of Sarajevo, which was entirely cut off by Serbian forces, with Bosnian-held territory on the other side of the Sarajevo Airport, an area controlled by the United Nations. The tunnel linked the Sarajevo neighborhoods of Dobrinja and Butmir, allowing food, war supplies, and humanitarian aid to come into the city, and allowing people to get out. The tunnel became a major way of bypassing the international arms embargo and providing the city defenders with weaponry.
This tour also includes visit to Bobsled on Trebević mountain, build for 1984 Olympic games.

One of the best tours in my life!

5.00I booked this tour without knowing anything about it and at the end I was so inspired by all of the info Haris gave to me. He know a lot about anything you could ask. He picks you up next to the hostel and drives you back at the end of the tour. He even gave me recommendations about which movies to watch related to the history of Sarajevo. It felt like a private VIP tour and I loved it!
Rock on

5.00Haris makes the whole difference - as much as he shares the stories about Tunnel Museum and how it came to be, he tells you more personal stories about his own experience during the last war in Bosnia, and his memories about tunnel, sniper alley and how people lived during those dark days. Great value for money. I definitely recommend.
Impressive and very strong emotions!

5.00All stories from the wars have something thrilling about them because they make us feel with the people that lived through them. It is unique to get exactly this feeling about the whole situation in Sarajevo during the hard times and see how the people coped with it. If you are interested in an urban tour with interesting facts you should do the tour!
Loved the tour with Haris and have learned so much about Bosnian History. Worth it each second!

5.00Haris is a brilliant guide, I had such a good day when we went out. He was very well informed and friendly, and also was filled with personal experiences and views which I very much enjoyed hearing. The tunnel is poignant and a must see if you are in Sarajevo, I would highly recommend this tour, and I came away feeling I knew everything I had wanted to learn, plus a whole bunch more! Rock on!
Highly memorable and moving tour

5.00Best part of our Sarajevo visit. A thought-provoking and very moving tour, where the highly knowledgeable guides accounted for both facts and personal experiences from the war. Our tour was first led by Aida, then Haris took us through the final bit. What the people of this town has been through finally started to hit home. No question was too ignorant and I was fascinated by how natural it felt to laugh and smile with the guides when travelling between the sights. In addition, we also got some brilliant general tips for our stay. A tour like this is a must in a place with such a complex recent history and with guides like these you will be left feeling hopeful for the future.
Best of Sarajevo! Say no more!
