About this experience
Anyone who has ever visited Sarajevo will remember it for a long time: the smell of fresh coffee, the singing of the muezzin, the ringing of church bells, the loud greetings of the locals, the golden light of the sunset and the flavour of freshly grilled Ćevapčići.
Our city tour takes you on a short journey through time - from the Ottomans to Austro-Hungarian rule to Tito's Sarajevo and the city's recent, sad past. You will not only hear about the history of the city and visit its most important sights - you will also learn a lot about the traditions and different cultures that have shaped and continue to shape this place and learn how people live here today.
Over a Bosnian coffee during the tour, you will not only learn how the iconic Bosnian drink is prepared and drunk, but you can also ask your guide personal questions.
