Kien and his great tours

5.00I had an absolutely wonderful experience with this tour and this travel agency in Sarajevo. From the very beginning, the tour guide made me feel truly welcome. He is an incredibly gentle, caring, and responsible person who clearly loves his job and takes it very seriously. At the same time, everything felt relaxed and natural — it honestly felt more like spending the day with a friend than being on a formal tour. We joined the Sarajevo Under Siege tour, and it was outstanding. The guide is extremely knowledgeable and tells stories in a way that keeps you fully engaged. He explained the history of Sarajevo and the region in great depth, covering World War I, World War II, the Siege of Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, Bosnia, Serbia — everything — but always in a clear, human, and thoughtful way. You could really feel his passion for history and for sharing it with others. During the tour, we visited many important and meaningful places, including the Tunnel of Hope, several war checkpoints, an old hotel that was used during the war, cemeteries, a beautiful viewpoint over the city, and more. We also stopped to eat together, which added to the friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Nothing felt rushed — he made sure everyone was comfortable and that everything was well organized. What I appreciated most was how much he genuinely cared about our experience. He constantly checked that everything was going well and made sure we understood the places we were visiting, not just historically, but emotionally as well. I enjoyed this tour so much that I am actually going with him again tomorrow on a trip to Mostar — that says everything. I would highly recommend this guide and this agency to anyone visiting Sarajevo. I would absolutely do another tour with him again, without hesitation. A truly memorable experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
