Impressive guided tour - I was very pleased with the leadership. It was particularly noteworthy that this was carried out even though I was the only participant. My guide Adi was open-minded, friendly and competent. I was no stranger to the subject as such, as I was already confronted with the events of the war in Sarajevo as a soldier in 1997. In my view, it would be worth considering whether, instead of the yellow fortress, it would not be more appropriate to visit the former bobsleigh course for the subject.

Nice Historic Tour - I joined this tour with my wife. For 3 hours we visited the "Tunnel of Hope" near Sarajevo airport. Our guide Nermin, was a retired Bosniak police-man and had served in the Bosnian civil war. She gave us important information about the war and shared her own experiences with us. The tunnel is very impressive and there are lots of materials about its construction process etc., it impresses you. It is a must-see in Sarajevo with extra time to spare. Thank you Nermin!!!

A tour everyone should do - Our guide, Nermin, a police officer during the siege, gave a comprehensive and interesting history of the siege and put a human experience alongside the pictures and videos. I would recommend this tour to everyone visiting the city.

Inappropriate times for guests to use hotel facilities - The times of using the hotel facilities such as the pool and gym are not suitable for guests. The golden times for guests such as the end of the day or the first thing in the morning are reserved for locals who have been sold memberships. Also, the reception staff are not trained and their dealings with guests are impatient.

COULD BE MUCH BETTER - A lot of content is missing about what happened It was a long drive in which the guide told you practically nothing. They only took us to see the tunnel which is a visit you can make on your own exactly the same. When you pay for a tour you expect something more extraordinary than what you can do on your own. Not worth it
