I had a great day with Tarek as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and told us many interesting things about his country and its history. We had enough time in the different destinations to do the things we wanted to do, so there was no rush and the atmosphere was very relaxed. I enjoyed the trip a lot and recommend it with all my heart.

Probably the best tour guide I have had for a day trip. Esmer has literally lived and breathed BiH history and told his story in an engaging and powerful way. The amount of time at each attraction was perfect and the guide even got us fish and strawberries to try!
