About Sarajevo War Tour

Our Sarajevo War Tour tells the story of the longest siege of a capital city in modern history (1992–1996) with a local guide who grew up in Sarajevo. You drive along Sniper Alley past the Holiday Inn, visit the Tunnel of Hope museum and walk through the tunnel that ran under the airport and kept the city alive. Then you walk the abandoned 1984 Olympic bobsled track on Mount Trebević, stand at the old Jewish Cemetery on the former front line and finish at the Yellow Fortress (Žuta tabija) with a view over the whole city. Hotel pickup, transport, a local guide, the Tunnel of Hope entrance ticket and a bottle of water are included. The tour starts at 9:00 or 14:30.

    Sarajevo War Tour( Departure: 9:00 am or 2:30 pm )
    We pick you up at your hotel or apartment in central Sarajevo at 9:00 or 14:30 in an air-conditioned vehicle. Every guest gets a bottle of water for the tour.
    Drive along the main boulevard once known as Sniper Alley, past the Holiday Inn where foreign journalists stayed during the siege, the twin UNIS towers and the Sarajevo Roses, mortar scars filled with red resin.
    Visit the house in Butmir where the 800-metre tunnel under the airport began. Walk about 100 metres through the tunnel and learn how food, weapons and people moved in and out of the city. The entrance ticket is included.
    Walk along the graffiti-covered bobsled track from the 1984 Winter Olympics, used as an artillery position during the war, and hear how the Olympic city became a war zone.
    Stop at the old Jewish Cemetery, one of the closest points between the front lines, with views over the city and the hills where the siege positions were.
    Finish at the Yellow Fortress above the Old Town, an Ottoman bastion with one of the best views over Sarajevo and the hills that surrounded the city during the siege.
    Drop-off at your hotel or in the Old Town about four hours after pickup.

    A must do when in Sarajevo. Tripadvisor review: Sarajevo: A City Under Siege - War Tour With Tunnel Museum We met with our tour guide (Elvis) at the allocated time of 1200. He greeted us and handed us a bottle of water which is a tradition in Sarajevo as the saying goes an old lady handed out water to the soldiers during the war. He informed my daughter and I we would essentially be on a private tour and we travelled in his car rather than a mini bus for up to fifteen. This made it more interesting. We went to the Olympic Village, the Tunnel Of Hope, Sniper Alleyway passing many viewpoints. This tour included entry to the tunnel. We had plenty of time during our stops to listen and ask questions about the siege of Sarajevo. During the drive Elvis handed out a snack and said we should go for a Bosnian Coffee at the end of the tour. This was a nice and personal touch which I expect wouldn’t normally happen. Thank you so much! The tour lasted approximately the time stated. I wouldn’t hesitate using this company again the next time we are in the region. Well recommended 😎
