I got way more than I expected. Azur is a fantastic young guide who’s really passionate about what he does. I was the only person on the tour, but they didn’t cancel it. The nature was beautiful, and the local food was great. I especially recommend trying Bey’s soup.

I recently had an unforgettable tour with an amazing guide, Tarik. Even though I was the only one on the tour, Tarik’s warm and welcoming attitude made it really enjoyable and comfortable. The mix of tasty food and beautiful nature was spot on. The best part was the delicious burek, huge portions that kept me full all day. Eating in a friendly family-run place made it even more special. The mountains around Sarajevo are stunning, and our peaceful walk after lunch took us to some lovely, less crowded spots. Tarik’s deep knowledge of Bosnian history and culture made the whole experience both interesting and fun. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sarajevo. Tarik’s dedication and the perfect balance of food, nature, and culture made it truly memorable.

This was by far the best day trip I’ve had in BiH! I was the only person on the tour, but they didn’t cancel it, and I’m really glad they didn’t. The tour itself was fantastic from beginning to end, you get to explore the countryside with stunning views and stroll around a mountain village that’s both charming and authentic. The real highlight, though, was our guide, Tarik. He’s friendly, talkative, knowledgeable, and very open-minded. I’d definitely recommend this trip and Tarik to anyone!
