Sarajevo: Old Town & Fortress Tour & Trebevic Cable Car Ride

We had a great experience with our guide Tarik, who was very friendly and welcoming. He made us comfortable and drove us around Sarajevo, sharing interesting stories about the city’s historical sites. His knowledge of Bosnia’s history was impressive, especially when he connected a war hero to the inspiration for a James Bond character, which we found fascinating. As it was a private tour, he was patient and tailored the trip to our needs. Overall, he did an excellent job showing Bosnia’s culture, and I highly recommend him.
