Had a great tour!! Really worth it if you are only in Sarajevo for 1 or 2 maybe 3 days. You learn a lot about the culture and history from a local history. You see the nice and beautiful things of Sarajevo but you also learn and see a lot of the dark history. The lunch was good and tasty. Dennis our guide was more than great. In short, really recommended. PS do not expect to learn everything about the Olympic Games with this tour, but you get a good impression.

Ermin was a knowledgeable and courteous guide. He was flexible and allowed us to follow our interests and speeds as they ebbed and flowed throughout the tour. Seeing the “Jerusalem of Europe” was a highlight, as was the baklava we ordered at our coffee stop.

This Day trip of Sarajevo was the best. We enjoyed it a great deal. The guides were informative and told interesting stories. We recommend this tour with enthusiasm!
