Overview

Step into Sarajevo’s past with a tour led by someone who lived through it. As a child during the war in Bosnia (1992–1995), I experienced first-hand the resilience and challenges of this besieged city. This tour offers a unique blend of history and personal storytelling.

We’ll explore the Siege of Sarajevo, including a visit to the Tunnel of Hope—the city’s vital lifeline during the war. I’ll share personal accounts of survival, courage, and the indomitable spirit of Sarajevo’s people.

This isn’t just a war tour. We’ll also visit key landmarks that showcase Sarajevo’s rich culture and history. Whether you’re staying in a hotel or elsewhere, I’ll meet you where it’s convenient and arrange seamless transport.

This tour offers a deeply personal and unforgettable journey into Sarajevo’s past. Book now to gain a unique perspective on the city’s history and its remarkable spirit.
