Dive deep into the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina as you explore Sarajevo on this war-focused history tour. With a private guide, discover the key landmarks of the capital city including the War Tunnel, the Olympic bobsleigh and luge track, and the Yellow Fortress. Your guide provides information about the Siege of Sarajevo, the longest siege in modern history, and the aftermath of the war.
The tour covers heavy topics including war, siege, and loss of life. Our guides present the history respectfully and factually. If you have concerns, please let us know and we can adjust the focus.
The afternoon departure is ideal — the sunset from the Yellow Fortress is unforgettable. But we can arrange morning tours as well.
“It was an amazing tour! I mean: AMAZING tour! So much information about the city's history, about the war, about funny and interesting things in the city! I super recommend guys! It's worth it a lot! Thank you very much Ken!”
“It was a wonderful tour, we saw a lot of places and got a good amount of background information on the war in Sarajevo from the guide! Ken did it in a very informative but still entertaining way! My highlights were the abandoned bobsleigh road and sunset by the Yellow Fortress.”
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with this tour. From the very beginning, the tour guide made me feel truly welcome. He is an incredibly gentle, caring, and responsible person who clearly loves his job. Everything felt relaxed and natural — it honestly felt more like spending the day with a friend than being on a formal tour. The guide is extremely knowledgeable and tells stories in a way that keeps you fully engaged. We visited many important places, including the Tunnel of Hope, several war checkpoints, an old hotel used during the war, cemeteries, and a beautiful viewpoint over the city. I enjoyed this tour so much that I actually went with him again the next day on a trip to Mostar — that says everything. A truly memorable experience.”
“The tour was great. Ken did a really good job of explaining the history of the tunnel and he kindly answered all of our questions. The tour was fun and informative, highly recommend.”
“We were in Sarajevo for 2 days and spent a whole day with Ben and Ken, they were amazing and made us learn much about the history and culture but in a very fun way! I would absolutely recommend, 10/10 experience.”
