Great passionate and historical tour.
Ermin was absolutely fantastic. Charming, knowledgeable, speaks perfect Italian. He knows how to engage and captivate. Highly recommended.
Very interesting tour to discover Sarajevo, the friendly Ermin guide, very competent and prepared.
I am a reporter and I was looking for a guide who had experience and professionalism. I accidentally met Bella Bosnia and Ermin, and it really was the best experience I could have had. Ermin is an absolutely special person, prepared and engaging, no one better than him can explain this wonderful city. I recommend anyone who wants to go into depth about the culture and past of Sarajevo and Bosnia to contact Ermin. I will definitely deepen my research.
Complete and engaging tour! Our guide Ermin has full command of the subject and the Italian language, and is happy and able to answer any curiosity or doubt... for those who should stay because the explanation is really exhaustive! Very very recommended!
The only and best tour ever done! Bella Bonsia is a fantastic agency to rely on completely during your trip to Bosnia and Sarajevo. A 'prepared agency that will do everything to make you live this experience to the fullest, in addition to professionalism and organization you perceive that what they do, they do it from the heart which in my opinion is fundamental. Adair is a boy who in love with his own land has decided to return to live there, but above all to return to discover it to those who still do not know this beautiful reality. Adair has been my guide for several times during this adventure, with an impeccable Italian and with the right sarcasm knows how to immerse you in the true Bosnian reality. He is a professional and prepared guide ready for comparison and why not even a chat over a good Bosnian coffee during the tour. She can easily empathize with people, which is fundamental for those who do a job like hers, so as to be able to create rapport and transmit the beauty you are experiencing. Highly recommended the free walk tour through the streets and streets of Sarajevo, necessary a thunder on the war and if you have time to deepen the Bosnian reality doing the thunder for Srebrenica and Mostar. Perhaps a simple thank you to Adair is not enough for being able to let me in and taste the true Bosnian essence. Thank you!
Nermin is very knowledgeable and likeable, he is able to give you a historical and cultural view of the city. I absolutely recommend
It was a memorable tour. Our guide Nermin led us by the hand to a Sarajevo that has also become our home! Exciting and meaningful every story and every corner of the city visited. I recommend the tour to all those who really want to know the city!
A truly complete and enjoyable tour to approach the wonderful and historic city of Sarajevo. Accompanied by the words and anecdotes of the fantastic guide Ermin, we had a great time. In about 2h30 of tour we walked without haste through the city, stopping at the highlights and a few more hidden gems to tourists. Of course, there was also advice on where to eat, buy typical Bosnian products, etc. In the afternoon we took part in the war tour and it was a truly touching, intense and rich experience of reflection not only on the recent history of Sarajevo, but also on the heterogeneity and cultural richness, with its contradictions and uniqueness, of the Bosnian people as a whole. An infinite thanks to the guide Mario, extremely competent and exquisite person. We will never forget what was explained to us and the emotions felt in the process. Really congratulations, highly recommended tour!
Ermin very good and engaging, without him we would have seen another Sarajevo instead we entered the lived life of the people boys fathers and mothers who lived the war, who hnno left Bosnia for Italy that welcomed them... and I hope he knew how to do well. Ermin Adair and Nermin's is a different kind of journey, they are Italians but they are Bosnians and they really let you into their city, they make you understand how 4 religions coexist quietly and that the problem created for different reasons is the same that moves the masses against other men, women and children, just before brothers: ideology, nationalism that is different from patriotism, wanting to identify an enemy for the benefit not of those who die but of those who gain. So, uh... As now
