auf der Suche nach einer Möglichkeit, in relativ kurzer Zeit möglichst viel über Sarajevo zu erfahren, fanden wir das Büro von Info Bosnia Tours.
Da wir in der Regel alles selbst erarbeiten und weniger an Gruppenausflügen teilnehmen, überzeugte uns dann die Tatsache, dass wir nur 4 Teilnehmer waren und buchten diese ca.4 stündige Citytour.
Besser hätten wir es nicht treffen können. Mit Mak hatten wir einen guide, der über ein enormes Hintergrundwissen verfügte und uns Sarajevo ganz hervorragend näher brachte. Sicher einer der interessantesten Städte, die wir in den letzten Jahren besucht haben. Durch die kleine Gruppe waren zusätzlich individuelle Unterhaltungen und Fragen möglich, die von Mak lückenlos beantwortet werden konnten egal, ob zu den verschiedenen Religionen, Sport Events (Olympische Spiele), die Situation im Bosnienkrieg, die aktuelle Politik oder Restaurant Tipps - ganz großartig und bedingungslos zu empfehlen!
Sprache: englisch - ganz hervorragend, wenn auch manchmal etwas schnell..
While visiting Sarajevo we wanted to dig deeper into the history of the '92 – '96 period so we signed up for the Times of Misfortune tour. The tour lasted exactly four hours and we visited the Tunnel of Hope museum, the sniper point on the mountain, the Sarajevo Olympic Bobsleigh, the Jewish cemetery, the White Fortress and the Yellow Fortress. Besides our guide Mak showed us many more important places while reaching our destinations by car (e.g. sniper alley, National museum, Radio-Television building etc.).
Everything was explained clearly and in details allowing us to get an overview of the Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian and Communist past of Sarajevo. We also got very interesting insights on the siege dynamics, consequences, current situation of Bosnian government and what it is like to live and work in Sarajevo nowadays.
It has been a truly eye-opening experience visiting those places we were seeing on television twenty-five years ago. Back then as little Italian kids we did not understand much, we just knew that “our neighbors” were undergoing much trouble and sorrow. Now as adults we have come, seen and understood what happened through the words of our guide, a guy of our age who told us his first person experience. Many thanks to Asim and Mak for making this tour a key moment in our personal growth. Needless to say, highly recommended!
We did the Times of misfortune tour. It's a nice tour to learn about the history of Sarajevo and to see the city's great viewpoints. The tunnel museum and olympic bobsleigh are in particular very interesting. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The duration of the tour was also fine.

We highly recommend the Times of Misfortune Tour with Info Bosnia Tours. Our guide, Bakir was knowledgeable about current events as well as the recent history of Bosnia and the siege on Sarajevo. He was lacking information on older history, like the time of the Ottoman then Austro-Hungarian empires, but that was no big deal. It was especially interesting to hear his perspective on the war as well as life now in Sarajevo. We really enjoyed the small size of the tour, my husband and I, another couple and the guide. We all fit comfortably in one car. In a car we were able to see all the main sights around greater-Sarajevo including the Tunnel of Hope Museum, the Olympic Bobsled track, a couple of amazing viewpoints and more. We would definitely do another tour with Info Bosnia Tours again if we ever return to Sarajevo.
