Amazing!!!

I have done walking tours in over 30+ cities and this was the best I have been on! Faris was very knowledgeable and answered all of the questions we had and we had a lot. Plus he was not just monotone the whole time which is my biggest ick for these tours. I would definitely join again and recommend.

The Best Walking Tour in Sarajevo

Faris is so informative and manage to suit our needs for depth knowledge and hidden gems especially in Old Town Sarajevo. Trust me, you need to wait until the end of the tour for you to enjoy the best tea and Bosnian Coffee all over Sarajevo. Thank You Faris

Great, informative tour of Sarajevo

The free walking tour of Sarajevo by Faris was incredibly informative and a great introduction to the tragic, complex history of Bosnia. Faris took me to all the important historical landmarks in the old town and provided a deep, rich history. At the end of the tour, he also provided his favorite recommendations as well as hidden gems like the best coffee and tea places. I would highly recommend his tour to anyone who wants a great overview and understanding of this historically important city.
