A really interesting trip with Agan (hopefully that is spelt correctly). Totally recommend it, completely worth the money.
-
I did the walking tour, the „Fall of Yugoslavia“ tour and the Mostar day trip with Meet Bosnia tours, and I fully recommend all of these! The tours were very interesting and very well planned, and the guides, Edin, Agan and Arna, were very passionate and provided a lot of information. I hope I‘ll be back to Sarajevo soon and will then definitely book further tours with Meet Bosnia! Absolutely recommended!

I was so grateful and thankful to our tour guide “Agan” as he took us through the story of the siege of Sarajevo (1992-1995). I was so impressed with the wealth of information he has about the siege which I appreciate him for.
-
really informative and passionate guide, as someone with minimal knowledge before felt comfortable holding a conversation about the yukoslavian war afterwards with many different people. really recommend
-
We took the Siege of Sarajevo tour with guide Imen and driver Harris. We visited several sites with gorgeous views, and Imen was extremely knowledgeable about the political history of Yugoslavia. I am often reluctant to participate in group tours, but I would absolutely recommend this one to anyone visiting Sarajevo.
-
Our guide, Ahmut (spelling ?) was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of his country. I was captivated by his every word and felt like I gained a better understanding of their life, history, cultures and the war
-
Fantastic trip with Agan. He was knowledgeable and by including photos, quotes from diaries and a recorded speech about the need to support Bosnia just before the peace agreement, not only his narrative and voice were included. Thank you Agan for the personal stories - totally recommend this tour.
-
A really good trip and guide. 2,5-3 hours good facts and wievpoints. Group was not too big and everybody got answers to thei questions.
-
Very educational. Our guide, Agay, was extremely knowledgeable and also shared personal experiences about the history and today’s situation. A reminder of the appalling circumstances, the atrocities, the hardships and suffering people went through for years during the siege of Sarajevo, the war and genocide, the genocide, in Bosnia. The insufficient and shameful actions by the international community, and again a reminder that we need governments with integrity and ethical clarity. Because this will happen again somewhere, recently in Ukraine, probably in this region in the near future, if there are no grownups in the international community. Thank you for your work!

I had spent 5 days in Sarajevo and thought that I had started to learn a little about what happened in the Seige of Sarajevo. How little I knew! This is a fascinating tour lead by guides that are soooo knowledgeable. I learned so much information but never felt like I was being taught. Id recommended this tour for anyone who wants to learn about the Seige.
