Full description

Discover Sarajevo, a relatively young city founded in the middle of the 15th century, with a turbulent history. Experience a combination of Oriental, European and Yugoslav influences, which creates uniqueness and beauty seen nowhere else but in Sarajevo. This city embraced all different nationalities, but unfortunately faced destruction at the end of the 20th century. On this tour, you will be able to see Muslim, Catholic Christian, Orthodox Christian, and Jewish architecture just a few minutes away from each other. Hear Muslim calls to prayer, and at the same time hear the sound of bells from nearby churches. Try some traditional dishes and see traditional crafts. Learn about the assassination that triggered the First World War, and how Muslims and Jews protected each other through the different wars. Understand how a city that suffered so much can be so pleasant. In just three hours, get to feel the soul of Sarajevo.

The experience was excellent as we had a detailed history of main points of Sarajevo and Asim our tour guy was very informative and also advised us on nice shopping places, we have also booked the war history with him as well so we had covered both history and main points of Sarajevo in one single day. I advise you fo ask him to drop you near the Cable car at the end of the War tour which will be at the top of the mountain and ride down the mountain with the cable car to experience a nice view of the city.

Excepcional tour in Sarajevo

Asim was a great guide, pleasant and knowledgeable about details of the history of Sarajevo. My wife and I got a very broad view of events that marked the city which we would not have gotten had we not had Asim as guide. We therefore strongly recommend him for other travelers.

This walking tour will take you around the old city centre and you will learn about the history of Sarajevo. Our guide, Edin was very engaging, friendly and a good story teller which is important for this type of tour. My girlfriend and I loved it and would definitely recommend it.
