It was a great tour of Sarajevo. Our guide, Ajna, did an excellent job of giving us the best possible experience. She shared fascinating insights into the city’s history, culture, and many other aspects of local life. It was a wonderful introduction to both Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina. I highly recommend this
Our guide Benjamin was probably the best guide we have ever had in many years of doing walking tours. He spoke impeccable English and the sites on the tour were really well chosen. He explained the complex history in a clear way and is clearly extremely knowledgeable. He also answered all our questions very well. All in all a superb experience.
Excellent guide! Hanan was extremely knowledgeable, and very helpful in sharing her perspectives. She weaved in facts and stories seamlessly. Would definitely recommend! Good way to learn the history of the city.
Great tour with excellent presentation.
Benjamin, my guide, is a very resourceful young gentleman about the history of Sarajevo. Thanks to Benjamin, I learnt a lot about this place, not in the sad historical accounts, but in a positive and optimistic way. It's a great introduction to city for people being here for the first time.
We did this tour our first full day in Sarajevo and were hooked on Meet Bosnia after. This tour was a really nice way to get to know the city and to connect its centuries-old history to the places and buildings we were seeing. Great way to orient yourself and gain a deeper appreciation of and for the area.
We had the privilege of being on Ajdin's first tour. He was a young man with an interesting past as a street artist and a very bright future. It was great to hear the perspective of a young, proud Bosnian. Because he wasn't repeating the same tour speech for the 1000th time, his narrative was fresh and free-flowing. The next day, we stopped to see some of his street art before we left Sarajevo. We learned a lot and had a great experience.
Ajna was a fantastic guide, she made the tour really fun, informative and told her stories and experiences of the city. Our tour had three people and started on time she covered the history of the city as well as giving us tips and recommendations for our stay.
Our guide Alja gave us a wunderfull tour. She knew a lot. She showed us nice pleaces and recommanded diverent kind of stores.
This is a so-called free walking tour, you can participate for free and at the end you give a tip, depending on the quality of the tour. We had an excellent guide, calm in speech, very good English speaking and equipped with a lot of knowledge. We enjoyed the tour so much that we booked a bigger tour the next day where we visited the highlights of the war with a van. That tour was also very rewarding!
