5.00I took the Franz Ferdinand walking tour. I was lucky to be in a small group guided by Ado. Ado took me around the stops important to the final day of the Archduke, and while in between stops he sprinkled in knowledge of other aspects of Sarajevan history relevant to understanding the significance of the events of 1914. Ado started out slow and built my understanding up from there. I felt I left with a new found understanding of the events of that day in 1914, the reasons they culminated the way they did, and their lasting effect as far as the conflicts of the late 1900s. Ado took his time to explain everything and astounded by his knowledge, I asked many many questions. Ado was prepared in every regard to answer anything I could think of. Highly recommend this tour group and particularly the guide, Ado. Thank you for making a wonderful and informative experience!

5.00Very knowledgeable and passionate guide explaining not only how Franz Ferdinand spent the last day of his life visiting Sarajevo in a colourful amusing way . She managed to link the assassination to the political situation in Europe and the Balkans at the time, why it triggered WW1. We liked the walking tour with Yldma very much and learned a lot about history and its significance to better understand current challenges of BiH as a multicultural country. Highly recommended

5.00An great tour of the city, which combined the events of the assassination of the Archduke with the Bosnian war and its aftermath. Ado, our guide was brilliant, articulate, knowledgeable about both historical events & also really informative about live in Sarajevo now & the culture and politics. Highly recommended
Amazing team!
