Unforgettable Sarajevo: Roses of War & Resilience Tour

Fascinating, sobering, and truly insightful. Definitely one of the most thorough, all-encompassing tours I’ve ever taken. Mak was fantastic, and I was beyond honored to learn his country’s history and hear his personal experiences. Very touching. Highly recommend.

Mak was an excellent guide. He is a true scholar with an encyclopedic knowledge of the history of the city. His personal story brings great perspective to the historical facts. You will get to see all of Sarajevo, not a superficial "happy tour" of the touristic areas. Highly recommended!

I’ve gone on tours all over the world, and this one is truly unmissable. Mak takes you to places around Sarajevo that you likely wouldn’t reach on your own, or even notice without the context he provides. Seeing the Tunnel of Hope was especially powerful with someone who has a first-hand connection helping translate its significance. What stood out most was Mak’s openness in explaining not only what happened during the siege, but the political context, local sentiment, and human realities behind it. He answered every question thoughtfully and thoroughly, and the insight he shared gave real meaning to the places we visited. I left feeling genuinely grateful to have benefited from his knowledge and perspective. The experience will influence how I think about Sarajevo, the region, and even modern conflicts elsewhere. Mak did an exceptional job, and the company is fortunate to have him representing both their brand and the city so well. The operator was extremely helpful and responsive, communication was smooth, and the tour was more than worth the price. If you’re visiting the city — no matter how long you’re staying — I would prioritize this tour.

Alan was an incredible guide. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour because of his knowledge, openness and passion for his city and country. Highly recommend for anyone who wants an in-depth look at the siege and its lasting impacts on the Bosnian people.

The tour is excellent, informative and the guide is super professional and friendly. Would surely recommend to everyone!

This tour is definitely a great opportunity to learn more about Sarajevo in general, but specifically about Sarajevo during and after the siege. Mak was a fantastic guide - I couldn’t have asked for more. He was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and generous with both his expertise and with sharing his personal experiences of life during and after the war. Though I was the only person on the tour (I was there during the off-season), Mak ensured the experience was just as thorough as it would have been with a full group. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in this tour and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting this incredible and complex city for the first time.

One of the best tours ever I had! Thank you very much, Mak! He knows so much details, of course also from his own experiences!

Excellent. I had an amazing and very personal and moving tour with Mac this morning. I was the only person on the tour so Mac could have easily asked me to go another day instead but he didn't. Mac knows his city inside out and provided stories and knowledge in abundance as we travelled to the war tunnel, Dobrinja (the front line between Bosnian and Serb communities), the old bobsled track, sniper alley, the Jewish cemetery as well as to plenty of amazing viewpoints. I didn't notice the time passing and would highly recommend this tour to anybody visiting the city. Thanks again Mac, Cian.

This was a truly excellent tour that allowed us to understand the real situation in Bosnia—something you could never experience through ordinary sightseeing. In particular, hearing Mark’s personal stories based on his own experiences was incredibly meaningful. Thank you very much for such a valuable experience.

The experience is very special for those who are interested in the city's history. Combined with the country BiH, Sarajevo, and the tour guide's experience with the Sarajevo War. Mak did an exceptional job in explaining the situations in a compelling manner. This is the evidence that Mak knows a lot and can talk about it to the tourists. Very recommend it!
