5.00It was truly an intense experience. Samir is a wonderful guide, not only for how he narrates the facts, but especially for the humanity he manages to convey. I am not someone who gets emotional, but he did, he really did... I am very grateful to him and I truly recommend everyone to take this tour; it gave me so much.

The Best Way to Understand the Siege of Sarajevo

5.00Our visit to the Tunnel of Hope in Sarajevo with Mustafa was an incredibly powerful and meaningful experience. From the very beginning, he demonstrated a high level of professionalism, combined with a deep human understanding of the history he was sharing. What made the tour truly special was not only the historical explanation, but the way Mustafa connected facts with personal stories and context. It helped us understand the reality behind the Siege of Sarajevo in a way that goes far beyond what you can read in books or online. Walking through the tunnel while hearing his explanations made the experience extremely emotional and unforgettable. He created a respectful and thoughtful atmosphere throughout the entire visit. Thanks to Mustafa, this was not just a historical site visit — it became a deeply impactful learning experience that we will always remember. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Sarajevo who wants to truly understand its history.
So cool

5.00This was our second tour with Dream Balkans Travel. Like the first one, it was speedily arranged and adapted to our specific needs. Our tour guide, Samira, was extremely knowledgeable and shared many personal stories with us. This is what makes all the difference; particularly in a place where history is as complex as it is in beautiful Bosnia. We will definitely recommend this tour. Five starts plus!
It's worth it

5.00This is an incredible tour! I cannot recommend it enough. This offered such a deep overview of the history of the war. It has been sitting with us and has been such a great perspective to bring to the rest of our time in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We’ll continue to recommend to all our friends who visit.

5.00An unforgettable experience. The "Tunnel of Hope" is a must-see, but the real highlight was our guide’s firsthand account of life during the siege. It’s educational, emotional, and very well-organized. If you only do one tour in Sarajevo, make it this one!
