Walking tour Sarajevo Old Town/Fall of Jugoslavia tour - We took two tours. The first -- a free walking you for hours around the old town with Anna, was ouitstanding and prompted us to sign up for the second, longer tour, which we happily paid for (it was relatively inexpensive). Anna lived through the 1990s war and as able to give us a perspective based on her personal experience. She brought the setting to life for us and was happy to answer any questions we had. For the second, we six of us were picked up in a minibus and driven around the whole of Sarajevo and its environs. Emir, the guide, was very knowledgable and was skilful enough to be able to explain the incredibly complex history of the collapse of Yugoslavia in the 1990s, giving the subject political and -- most importantly -- topographical context. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these tours to anyone wanting to know more about this fantastic city.

Succinct summary of history - This walking tour was very efficient to learn the broader history other than just the war component. Our guide Alan also kindly answered all questions outside his scripts and the tour monuments. I usually opt for small group tours, so I can easily ask questions. This good experience led us book another tour with the same agency, and that turned out to be great also (4-hr tour on the fall of Yugoslavia w the war tunnel)ll!

Arna Gave Us The Best Tour Ever! - What a great was to see the city and learn about the history, culture, and political information regarding Bosnia and Herzegovina as a whole. I felt like this brief walking tour took me across the whole country and more than 200 years of history all in just two and a half hours. Our tour guide Arna was both funny and professional. She capably demonstrated her extensive knowledge while making sure the facts were easy to understand and relatable. We got to view some interesting locations and hear the details behind them and their storied past. 10/10 I would do this tour again thanks to Arna the best tour guide in Sarajevo!

An excellent introduction to Sarajevo - We did the free walking tour with Armina and it was excellent. The tour covers most of the old town, but the amount of information that Armina was able to provide in 2 hours was unbelievable. We've done a number of these tours across the world and as a guide, she was by far the best. It is both fascinating and chilling to hear about the history of Sarajevo and the war of the 1990s from someone who experienced it. She was able to tell the story in detail, but at a level that visitors can appreciate. If you are visiting Sarajevo, this is a must.

Top marks - highly recommended! - Absolutely excellent. The tour route was comprehensive, and perhaps more importantly, Armina, our guide, was hugely knowledgeable, and extremely good at her job. She managed to strike that tricky balance between presenting information factually and neutrally; while not losing the personal touch, drawing on lived experience to illustrate the sometimes complex nature of the topics that she was describing. There was always the opportunity to ask questions, and Armina also took the time to get to know us as we walked round. Loved it. Thank you so much, Armina, for helping us to get to know your fascinating city.
