Honestly an incredible trip with a guide who lives his job with passion and dedication. I was able to learn a lot about the history of a country that was unknown to me and which is now ingrained in my heart.

I went on a group trip through my university for 9 days with our tour guide Kenan. He was very knowledgeable on the history of Bosnia and he made our trip an experience of a lifetime. He took us all around the country and told us stories in every place we visited. Kenan went above and beyond by showing us the city after hours, and even taking us on a ski trip on his day off. If you are considering touring with Highlander Adventures, DO IT! You will not regret it.
Modern history that should never be forgotten

A magnificent country with a rich and endearing history. Sarajevo is the most emblematic city I have visited so far, it is beautiful and indeed the Jerusalem of Europe. In addition, the guide explains the history of the city and the country very well, he knows Bosnia perfectly. So I recommend you to visit Bosnia, the city of Sarajevo, passing by Highlander Adventures;)
Super informative and knowledgeable guide
