Sarajevo Siege: 1425 Days Unveiled - An Unforgettable Tour

This tour was amazing. We have had a number of private and group tours, and this was the best. It is a four-hour tour that includes a visit to the tunnel (including walking 100m in the tunnel), a 400m walk down the bobsled track (covered in grafitti, but unfortunately from our perspective the visible war damage is repaired), the Jewish cemetary, and the bridge where the first two victims in the war on Sarajevo were killed. Our guide, Omo, is from the region and was fantastic. The VW Passat was also comfortable for the ride. Omo usually does day tours to Mostar from Sarajevo and we met another Spirit tour guide, Adnan, who also seemed excellent. If we were staying longer, we would do another Spirit tour. Awesome!

The essential Sarajevo tour - you can't visit this city without someone taking you to these locations and explaining their importance. We were absolutely blessed to have Emina Koso as our driver and guide - her personal recounts of lived experiences during the Bosnian war is unparalleled to what you get being guided by someone who speaks of it third-hand. She was also very helpful in providing additional information about the city. If you only do one thing in Sarajevo during your trip, make it this.

Very nice tour. It was doable with children. The tour guide was able to not leave out anything but still keep it appropriate for the age group. We enjoyed the fact that the guide included their own experiences. We were able to use the tour as a springboard to explore independently later.

As a child of the 90s I am slightly too young to remember much about the siege of Sarajevo from the media although I'm sure it would all have been watered down anyway! Emina is a fantastic guide and genuinely lovely person too. As a slightly older child of the 90s, she has first hand experience of growing up in Sarajevo and recounted stories from her childhood that would make the toughest man emotional! The tour itself is a great insight into the situation in Sarajevo during the early 90s and the atrocities that the Serbian military committed. Helped by the fact that it was only my wife and I on the tour which gave us the opportunity for as many questions as we could think of, I cannot recommend Emina and this tour highly enough. For anyone who has an interest in history, or just wants to get to know the real Sarajevo and its people this is a must. 100% recommend and will definitely be getting in touch for more tours if and when we get the chance to come back to Sarajevo in the future.

I recommend it to everyone who comes to visit Sarajevo. Excellent history lesson, excellent guides. You will not regret it

Our guide Emina was one of the highlights of our trip! She had some incredible stories and was able to give an amazing insight into what life during the siege was like. She also had a great sense of humour and was able to offset the more serious and heavy hitting stories with jokes or funny anecdotes. The tour itself is a must do for any travellers. It was an amazing experience complimented by an amazing guide!

We took this tour with Emina and can definitely recommend ! Emina was a great guide, being able to paint a good picture about the history and the city, she also shared a lot of personal stories and we are grateful for her sharing. This tour offers the opportunity to get to know much more than you could get to know on your own!

Emina Koso was our guide for a tour around Sarajevo and its historical places, regarding the Siege of the city and the Civil War in the 90s. She was punctual and used her own vehicle for the tour, which was very convenient and comfortable. She explained precisely the historical events, while driving us around the city and taking us to the Tunnel of Life Museum, and she showed us the important buildings in Sarajevo, so we could understand better the movie about the historical events. Emina was well prepared on the historical period, she answered all of our questions and told us about her own experience of war. She organised a flexible and customisable tour, that we enjoyed a lot.

We took a trip to all of the main locations related to the siege of Sarajevo. The tour and our guide were very informative. We get to know a lot of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Sarajevo's history. I highly recommend Spirit Tours and this tour.

Exclusive tour by a former war kid. Emina Kosovo was an authentic guide. She drove us to the most important places of the siege.
