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.
Interesting tour with the right local tour guide

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!
Amazing Tunnel of Hope Tour with a war veteran

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00I discovered the tourist information office while walking and thinking about what I was going to do on Sunday. I bought a Tunnel of Hope tour from the company. Mr Adnan guided us. He is a veteran. I am proud of having time with a hero like him. He drove and told us many things about this special city. He did his best. He answered all the questions with patience. Although it was pouring I had a great time. Everybody in this office is super nice! Everything was perfect. Thanks a lot!
Sarajevo History

5.00We recently did a tour around Sarajevo with Adnan and it was excellent. His first-hand experiences of the conflict in the 90s and the way he spoke about the realities of all involved, was both touching and sobering. As a veteran, he was able to give specifics about both the experiences of soldiers and civilians and gave insights into the incredible resilience shown by the people of Sarajevo during the siege. His warmth and advocacy for peace came through at every turn.
