5Wonderful. Our guide was so informative.
This was worth every step. I only wish we would have had enough time to do their 4 hour bus tour of the city.
5Edin! Legend!
Edin of Meet Bosnia Tours is definitely the best Edin from Sarajevo only after Džeko! 😅 He was informative and friendly and full of knowledge and explains things incredibly well for a country that is so complex. Absolute pleasure walking with him.
5Great introduction to Sarajevo with Hanan
We had a great experience on this walking tour with Hanan. She was very friendly and knowledgeable, explained everything clearly, and her English was excellent. She was also very accommodating and answered everyone’s questions throughout the tour. We also appreciated the local recommendations she gave us, including places to eat and things to check out during the rest of our stay in Sarajevo. A very enjoyable and informative introduction to the city. Highly recommended!
5Amazing
We had an amazing walking tour with this company; our tour guide was phenomenal. Her passion and knowledge for Sarajevo and the country were incredible; you could feel how much she loves her country and how much she wants to see it succeed. Her stories from growing up in Yugoslavia to her time working with NGOs made it all the better. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour company.
5Comprehensive yet fun tour of Sarajevo
Adequately paced, guide very knowledgeable and can answer any questions, very familiar with area as she is from Sarajevo. Vast historical knowledge. Excellent tips for fully immersing yourself in the culture and food scene.
4Informative at the beginning, bit rushed at the end
We joined a 10.30am Walking Tour with Edin, who told us about the history of Sarajevo, Bosnia and former Yugoslavia (in brief!). We walked via some key sites - the Mosque, covered market, an Orthodox church and where Franz Ferdinand was shot. We didn't cover a lot of ground physically, there was a fair amount of explanation (including 30 mins right at the beginning). Good for history / information lovers.

About Sarajevo
Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, lies in a mountain-ringed valley where Ottoman bazaars meet Austro-Hungarian boulevards.
Sarajevo follows the Miljacka River through a long valley with steep green hills on either side. Baščaršija, the old Ottoman bazaar, has copper workshops, tea houses and the Sebilj, a wooden fountain, and the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque dates from the 1530s. West of it, the streets turn to Austro-Hungarian façades and cafés, so that a mosque, a Catholic cathedral, an Orthodox church and a synagogue all stand within a short walk.
Top-ranked sights in Sarajevo: Sarajevo Tunnel (Tunel Spasa), Sarajevo Olympic Bobsleigh and Luge Track, Latin Bridge (Latinska Ćuprija).
