Beautiful experience. Thanks to Adnan, our Al-Qaeda guide, we were able to deepen and better understand what happened during the siege of Sarajevo, which he experienced firsthand. Having done the tour during a snowfall made it even more impressive. Adnan was also very good at taking us to Trebevic, to see the bobsleigh track, despite the snowy roads. If you are going to Sarajevo do not miss this tour. It is not just a sightseeing tour, it is something more, a dive into the most recent history of the city and beyond. Very punctual and precise also the organization
A tour to recommend!

This was an excellent and informative tour. We managed to see lots of spots in the time given without it feeling rushed. Ahmed was a brilliant guide. He was very knowledgeable and engaging. He took the time to answer everyone’s questions and his passion shined through. Thank you Ahmed for a great tour!
I highly recommend this tour to everyone who visits this amazing and resilient city.

The War in Bosnia and Tunnel of Hope tour were exceptional, largely because my guide Adnan was so knowledgeable and well informed. Not a moment was wasted in educating me about the siege in Sarajevo and the importance of the Tunnel of Hope. The tour demonstrated the resilience and strength of the Sarajevo’s citizens.
Excellent

We had a fantastic tour with Adnan. He is extremely knowledgeable and generous with the information he shared. He explained things in an easy to understand way, but still kept the depth of what occurred in Sarajevo. We were able to see many different parts of Sarajevo and Adnan shared information while we drove so we were always seeing new things. Standing on the former front line of the war with someone who experienced it explaining it to you really does help you feel the reality and presence of the Bosnian War. Couldn't recommend this tour more.

We did this tour, Im fairly sure his name was Adman but can't be 100%, but he relived his personal experience from being 19yrs old to becoming a soldier and gave good insight, very professional and very informative, thank you.
A well planned tour to give you maximum understanding of the siege and the resilience of the people.

This was my first tour with Dream Balkans Travel. From the moment I set my foot into their side street office in the Old Town of Sarajevo until I did my last tour with them all I experienced was nothing but joy. If you want to find out about the resilience and fighting spirit of the people of Sarajevo against all odds with the best guide Adnan then this is the tour for you.
A tour to not forget

The tour was fantastic! Our guide Adis showed us the places and gave us explanations of a Cover who actually lived those battles and the terrible years of siege to Sarajevo! It was a very touching experience!
A Personal Account of the Bosnian War

Probably the best history lesson of our lives. Thanks Adis. A very personal explanation of how normal life became a war and then how the ingenuity and determination of the people succeeded in defending the city until the Dayton Agreement was signed. The stops along the minibus tour included all of the major war sites but they were really enhanced by a veteran explaining the small details associated with them. We’re old enough to remember watching the war on TV news, and Adis pointed out the hotel where the TV reporters stayed. Highly recommended.
