Sarajevo has a fascinating history. But of all the possible aspects to consider, the siege of the first half of he 1990s, the scene of heartbreaking heroism, suffering and cruelty, is certainly one of the most important. And all the more so because many of the participants still live there. Discussing such matters and visiting the sites of recent cruel memory could easily go wrong. But this tour has as its leader Eden, in the words of our 14 year old “an absolute boss”, who was a sensitive, informative and endlessly responsive and patient guide to he best and worst of humanity. He gave the group of 8 a whistle stop history of Yugoslavia, warts and all, followed by the breakup of the early 1990s and, most importantly the siege of 1992-1995, all the while taking us to see most of the key sights of the siege -Sniper Alley, the Tunnel of Hope, the Olympic Bobsleigh track and the Jewish Cemetery. And he left us with a superb view of a beautiful city, better informed than we had been, privileged to have seen such important places and hopeful for the future of a great city.
Our tour guide Edin gave us a unforgettable afternoon, he was friendly, passionate, and knowledgeable. He was born in the war and with his help, we learned more about the war, how people suffered, and most importantly, the fact that nothing can take over love and dignity from our lives. I would recommend this tour to all visitors who come to Sarajevo!

Interssant om de geschiedenis te horen van iemand die drie jaar was in de oorlog en via zijn eigen ouders kon vertellen hoe zij het hebben ervaren.

Intéressant d’avoir l’histoire en détail du siège et de ses impacts, notre guide Leila Taljic est excellente et maîtrise bien le sujet et même plus.

The tour was great, very informative. Mustafa is probably the best guide for this tour, because he could tell so much from own experience. Wonderful guy. I highly recommend this tour.
