A sad but necessary tour to hear about the, quite frankly, horrendous history of the country and what the people went through. It was well organised and we also saw a video first to help set the scene and give context. These types of tours are always heart breaking but understanding the history is so important. Our tour guide had been a soldier in the war, which added extra depth and realism to the history he talked us through. I will never understand how people can do such harm to others.

We got the Italian tour with Mirha and she was very knowledgeable and a perfect guide, highly recommended as she perfectly illustrated the context and meaning of the tunnel

They will see our highly prepared guide, who lived through those terrible years of an unjust war that killed so many people and children, explaining while being available for questions.

Such an interesting tour, guided by Nermin, who gave us a fascinating insight into a terrible era in Sarajevo history with a visit to the underground tunnels and afterwards to the Jewish cemetery. We learned so much and it was all brought to life by our expert guide. Would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in the history of the Balkan war of the 1990s.

The tour guide was excellent he was very informative and the information was helped by his own experiences. There’s a lot to take in but we never felt rushed and had plenty of time to look at exhibitions and sites leisurely would definitely recommend if visiting Sarajevo.

We were very satisfied and received a lot of important information in a structured and realistic way. Not a "memorized" script but really your own interest or concern. And that can do much more than just words. Thank you for that!!

I had the privilege of visiting the Tunnel of Hope Tour – Survival and Resilience in Sarajevo on 23rd February 2026, and it was one of the most powerful and moving experiences I’ve ever had. The tour offers a deeply personal and eye-opening insight into life during the siege of Sarajevo. Walking through the historic Sarajevo Tunnel — a lifeline that connected the city to the outside world — truly brings history to life. It’s one thing to read about resilience; it’s another to stand in the very place where survival depended on courage, ingenuity, and hope. Our guide was exceptional: knowledgeable, passionate, and respectful. They shared stories that were both heartbreaking and inspiring, balancing historical facts with human experiences in a way that felt authentic and deeply meaningful. The tour was thoughtfully paced, allowing time to reflect and ask questions. What stood out most was the spirit of resilience that still defines Sarajevo today. This experience is not just a history lesson — it’s a tribute to the strength of a community that endured unimaginable hardship and emerged with dignity and unity. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sarajevo. It’s an essential, educational, and profoundly moving experience that leaves a lasting impression long after you leave.

The tunnel is a memorabilia of the Serbian aggression in Bosnia. This is the place where the volunteer soldiers received and stored food and other supplies from the U.N. I can imagine the hardship and suffering of those who have been killed and wounded during the conflict. Touring the tunnel makes me realized that life is so short and events are so unpredictable
