5.00We booked the visit to Srebrenica with Kenan and loved it.☺️ Kenan is an excellent Guide, super friendly, close, generous, and also, although the tour was in English, it was very easy to understand. He gave us a lot of information about the war and genocide, during the trip and also during the visit. It's worth it! I recommend it!
