Full description

Start your tour with transportation to the War Tunnel Museum. On the way (25-30 minutes) receive a short introduction to the topics of the war and see important sites and buildings with your own eyes, which you will later hear about again in the museum. Arrive at the Tunnel of Hope, learn about the position of the museum and its famous mark in front of the entrance named "Sarajevo Rose". After seeing a short movie, a one-hour-long presentation starts, which will explain the fall of Yugoslavia, the war in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Herzegovina, and the creation and importance of the tunnel.  After the Tunnel, head toward the 1984 Olympic mountain Trebević, which is the closest mountain to the center of Sarajevo and was part of the front line during the siege of Sarajevo. At the site, you have the opportunity to see and walk in the destroyed hotel of Osmice. From there experience the most beautiful panoramic views of Sarajevo which unfortunately were also the main positions of the enemy army.     Just under the Trebevic Mountain lies the second largest Jewish cemetery in Europe. The cemetery contains unique shaped tombstones that can only be seen in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is believed their shape is influenced by medieval Bosnian tombstones that are named "Stecak". Head towards the old Ottoman part of the city to visit the Yellow Fortress. The last stop of the tour is the "Shehidi" (Martyr) cemetery, the resting place of the soldiers that gave their life for independent Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the heart of the cemetery lies the grave of the first Bosnian president Alija Izetbegovic.

Great tour, Abraham (sorry if spelt wrong) was a brilliant guide, especially for his age, very knowledgeable and so clear in his delivery. I learnt so much. The tour itself was great, very good value with numerous stops but not rushed. A nice small group too and comfy van to take us around, thank you to the driver also!!

A really great experience! As a native Bosnian who grew up and lives abroad, this was the first time I did such a tour with my wife. We had Asim as our tour guide that day, who is also the office manager of the Info Bosnia Tourist Information Center. Asim did an incredible job, he has a great knowledge about politics, the world and the Yugoslavian war. In addition, he is a real "Sarajlija" (people born and raised in Sarajevo), so you get to know first hand what it was like in Bosnia during the war. The tour is as described above about 4-5 hours and you visit all the war sites around Sarajevo. The transport is included and works without problems. Since we had quite an interested small group Asim has us shown even a little more things by passing by. In addition, you will learn after the tour where there are the best Burek, Cevape, so local tips are given. Thank you Asim to you and your team. You have really created something wonderful here.
