The siege of Sarajevo began 27 years ago this week (6 April 1992). Lasting nearly four years, it became one of the most dramatic and emblematic events of the violent breakup of the former Yugoslavia and the conflict which left an estimated 200,000 people killed and some 2.7 million refugees and internally displaced – the largest displacement in Europe since the Second World War.
The siege brought enormous suffering and misery to all inhabitants of the Bosnian capital at the time. Constantly shelled and sniped, people were cut off from food, medicine, water and electricity. Thousands of civilians were killed and wounded. During the war, people in Bosnia and Herzegovina witnessed every conceivable human rights violation or abuse – ranging from ethnic cleansing and rape to mass executions and starvation.

We had a great time with Elvis as our tour guide! He brought us to beautiful areas around Sarajevo that we wouldn’t have seen without a car. He was very knowledgeable, kind, and shared a lot history about Bosnia and Sarajevo that we might not have learned otherwise. We had a wonderful day! Thank you!

A must in you visit Sarajevo! This tour was one of the most complete tours I've ever taken in Europe. It really went above and beyond my expectations. Our guide was great; super informed, funny, and went the extra mile to make us feel welcome. It was almost a private tour since there was just one other couple and myself. We got to see some of the tunnels that were dug during the terrible war of the mid 1990's, as well as some of the most important sights (including the Winter Olympic complex at the top of the mountain). We ended up with a nice traditional Bosnian lunch that we enjoyed in one of the best restaurants in town. All in all, I'd highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to get more familiar with this beautiful country, its people, its history and culture.

What a fantastic day! For a long time now I’ve wanted to visit the Balkans, especially Sarajevo. I did the tour on my first day there after arriving. My guide was Elvis who did an amazing job. I was the only one on the tour that day, which is crazy now that I am on full packed buses on other tours. The trip was just the right pace. It’s hard to write about the Tunnel museum and evidence of the war everywhere, but growing up in the 80s in the US I felt it was important to try and understand what happened. This was my favorite tour of my 11 country trip. I think it was because it wasn’t just a city, it was a landscape with a long history that I’m beginning now to understand. I give it 6 out of 5 stars:) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great price and worth a tour The yellow fortress was amazing to see the city of sarajevo from a high view. The war tunnel was a great learning experience of what Bosnia experienced in the 1990s.
