Following a brief introduction, your guide will lead you to the transportation, and the tour will begin.

· 10 min
2
Pijaca Markale
The Markale massacres were two distinct bombardments by the Army of Republika Srpska targeting civilians during the Siege of Sarajevo in the Bosnian War.
· Non-stop passage
3
Eternal Flame
The Eternal Flame is a memorial dedicated to the military and civilian victims of World War II in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was unveiled on April 6, 1946, marking the first anniversary of Sarajevo's liberation from a four-year occupation by Nazi Germany and the Independent State of Croatia.
· Non-stop passage
4
Sniper Alley
Sniper Alley was the informal name for streets like Zmaja od Bosne Street and Meša Selimović Boulevard, the main thoroughfare in Sarajevo. During the Bosnian War, it was lined with sniper positions, becoming notorious as a dangerous route for civilians. This road connects the city's industrial sector (and further on, Sarajevo Airport and the Tunnel of Hope) to the cultural and historical sites of the Old Town. The boulevard features numerous high-rise buildings, providing snipers with extensive fields of fire.
· Non-stop passage
5
National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina
This cultural and scientific institution encompasses a broad range of subjects, including archaeology, art history, ethnology, geography, history, and natural history. The museum houses the Sarajevo Haggadah, an illuminated manuscript dating back to around 1350, originating from Barcelona. It is the oldest Sephardic Jewish document in the world and contains the traditional Jewish Haggadah.
· Non-stop passage
6
Sarajevo War Tunnel
Upon reaching the Tunnel Museum, your guide will explain the museum's location and the significance of the 'Sarajevo Rose' monument at the entrance. After viewing a short film, a one-hour presentation will detail the fall of Yugoslavia, the wars in Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the creation and importance of the Tunnel.
· 1 h· Admission not included
7
Trebevic
Following our visit to the Tunnel, we will proceed to Mount Trebevic, one of the Olympic mountains and the closest to Sarajevo's center. It served as a frontline during the Siege of Sarajevo. Here, you can explore the 'Eight' hotel restaurant and enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Sarajevo, which were unfortunately strategic positions for the enemy army.
· 30 min
8
Jewish Cemetery Sarajevo
Located just below Trebevic Mountain is Europe's second-largest Jewish cemetery. The tombstones here have a unique shape, found only in Bosnia and Herzegovina, believed to be influenced by medieval Bosnian tombstones known as 'Stecak'.
· 20 min
9
The Yellow Fortress
From the Jewish Cemetery, we will journey towards the old Ottoman part of the city to visit the Yellow Fortress. From this vantage point, you can see the Soldiers' Cemetery and the resting place of the first Bosnian president.

A must do in Sarajevo
juliantQ2896PG, October 2026
If I could give 10 stars I would. We were picked up from our hotel by Edo and from the first moment he was giving us information about the civil war and it was first hand as he fought. What he told us was both fascinating and distressing both as a soldier and about general life. This trip is a must.
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Sad but well worth the knowledge you will gain
748wik, September 2026
Experienced sadness, we were there for an hour. We met people from other countries, who were visiting because they had lost members of their family.
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
A piece of you will be changed.
isabellahansen93, September 2026
This is a guided tour everyone should do when visiting Sarajevo, being able to have first hand accounts from those living there during the siege was life changing and the stories will remain with me. When you book somewhere like Bosnia and Herzegovina to travel to you are coming to see the beauty of the country but also to see the history of the place. This tour was educational full on insight and something I will recommend everyone to do with their time here. We got to go through the tunnel of hope, and see the Olympic track along with other stops on the way. I truly thank Samira for sharing her story with us. Thank you DreamBalkans for organising the tour. Everything from pick up to the tours first stop, the communication with them is fantastic.

Educational hours about Sarajevo!
Kicki_H, September 2026
Very informative about the war years and life in Sarajevo during those years. Gave a very good understanding of what life was like during those years and what horrors and challenges the Sarajevans lived through. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator · Asim D
Thank you very much for your thoughtful review and recommendation! We’re glad the tour helped you gain a deeper understanding of life in Sarajevo during the war and the experiences of its people. We truly appreciate your kind words! Best regards, Dream Balkans Team
★★★★★Viator review
Unprofessional agency
ILARIA_V, August 2026
Our guide was very good, a man who lived through the siege of the city firsthand and told us many things. I have to give 1 out of 5 because the agency was incompetent, when we arrived at the meeting point they told us that the tour would be in English and not in Italian, I couldn't even ask for a refund because I had no other choice, the next day I would have left the city and I had no alternatives. I had also given up another tour in Italian with another agency because I had already booked this one. I asked for a symbolic partial refund and they didn't accept it.
Response from the operator · Asim D
Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words regarding our guide. When you arrived at our office, we explained that due to an error in the system, we did not have an Italian-speaking guide available. We offered you either a full refund or the option to take the tour in English. You chose to proceed with the tour in English, and we are glad that the tour was completed successfully. After the tour, you contacted Viator support to request a 50% refund. As we provided the agreed tour service and you chose to proceed in English after being informed of the situation, we are unfortunately unable to refund the difference. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for choosing us.
