Excellent tour! A unique way to discover Sarajevo through its street art while learning about the socialist era and the Bosnian War. The guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared fascinating stories that brought the city's history to life. Highly recommended!
Alan was the perfect tour guide. Not only did he tell us about streetart, but also the monuments and its artistic and historic meanings. We went home with a ton more knowledge. He is a very kind person. Alan, we really appreciate you taking so much time, never getting tired of all our questions and taking us on the perfect tour though streets we haven't been in before.
Alan gave us a wonderful tour of Sarajevo incorporating its history as well as street art. Since it was the off-season, the tour was intimate (just our family of four) and shifted earlier in the day so it was still light out. We saw some incredible murals, including his own(!), as well as smaller pieces throughout the older part of the city. A unique way to view and appreciate the city and its people.
Alan’s tour of Sarajevo street art—including his own work—was brilliant. He put the works into historical and artistic context for us, and enabled us to see pieces we never would have found on our own. Alan himself was smart and charming and credible. We recommend the tour.
Alan was phenomenal. He showed us his art along the way and gave us so much context and history. Definitely gave us a better understanding of the city.
Great experience as a non artistic person to learn about the history of how street art has shaped life in Sarajevo
Brilliant street art tour in Sarajevo. Really interesting guide. Saw a cool different side to the city. Thanks very much. Would recommend!
What a tour! Alen is just THE street artist guide you want to have! Not only is he a fantastic artist but he’s also a great storyteller, passionate about is art and he city. He also has such great human qualities and values that makes him an amazing person to meet 😍
We had an amazing street art tour in Sarajevo with our guide, Adnan. He was incredibly resourceful, kind, and engaging throughout the entire experience. As a group of three, we were shown parts of the city we never would have discovered on our own—hidden murals, meaningful graffiti, and stunning pieces tucked away in unexpected corners. What made the tour truly special was the way Adnan brought the art to life with the stories behind each piece. His passion for street art and deep knowledge of Sarajevo’s urban culture made this tour both informative and inspiring. Highly recommended for anyone interested in street art or looking to experience a different, creative side of the city!
Spending 2 hours wandering the streets and seeing the street art of Sarajevo was simply wonderful. Our guide was so knowledgeable about the art as well as life in Sarajevo now and in the past. He enriched our knowledge and we found an enhanced love for the city that we hadn’t felt before. Thankyou so much.
