Great tour for understanding Bosnia and Sarajevo
Although this was a very short tour but I feel I learned so much about Bosnia serievo the history and Culture our tour guide Eddie was fantastic spoke fluent English was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Bosnia and we really enjoyed his knowledge and learned a lot We were a small group with enough time to ask questions and he answered every one of them and we all enjoyed the tour
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted that you learned so much about Bosnia, Sarajevo, its history, and culture despite the shorter tour. It’s wonderful to hear that Edins knowledge and willingness to answer your questions made the experience so enjoyable. We truly appreciate your feedback! Best regards, Dream Balkans Team

Excellent experience and I will always think of Sarajevo differently!
Well done Benjamin, my tour guide this afternoon. What a fantastic, informative, experience from a young chap who was so professional, knowledgeable and promoted the positive history (as well as informing me of the darker Sarajevo times) of this vibrant city. You truly don’t learn about these wonderful places, wandering around on your own reading plagues….. get a tour with someone like Benjamin and it all is explained and discovered. What strikes me also is how much Benjamin knows, his passion to share his city’s history and how appreciative he is that we visit, want to listen and learn about his home. Keep up the excellent guiding job Benjamin, you did Meet Bosnia and Sarajevo proud today!!

Amazing walking tour of the city
Really good walking tour of Sarajevo by Samira. She was very knowledgeable of the city and its interesting history, and knew the answer to any question. The tour itself was great as it took us around all of the important parts in an engaging way, helped us get our bearings and wasn’t too long or difficult. It took 2 hours and even in the heat it was agreeable and didn’t feel too much. We had a group of 9 (7 in our family and 2 others) and booked online the same day as the tour at 14:00. Would definitely recommend (especially with Samira) as we learned a lot about the city with a lovely tour guide. The office was also very helpful with info about the city and booking future trips.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful and detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the Sarajevo walking tour with Samira. We’re glad her knowledge and engaging approach helped you discover the city comfortably, even in the heat. We truly appreciate your recommendation and kind words about our office team! Best regards, Dream Balkans Team

Interesting way to learn about the different facets of Sarajevo
The tour was informative and we visited lots of interesting spots. I do wish the balance between historical facts/stories and current day recommendations for places to buy souvenirs, food, cotton, ice cream etc. was skewed a little bit more towards history, but that may just be a personal preference!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover Sarajevo Walking Tour with Local Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sarajevo.
How much does Discover Sarajevo Walking Tour with Local Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $17 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sarajevo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Discover Sarajevo Walking Tour with Local Guide take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sarajevo is not rushed.
Is Discover Sarajevo Walking Tour with Local Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 87 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sarajevo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Sarajevo Walking Tour with Local Guide?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Discover Sarajevo Walking Tour with Local Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Sarajevo Walking Tour with Local Guide?
+
Around 30 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sarajevo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sarajevo and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Sarajevo Walking Tour with Local Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sarajevo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sarajevo?
+
On Outty we rank every Sarajevo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Fall of Yugoslavia, Sarajevo War Tour with Tunnel of Hope Museum and Frontlines, From Sarajevo: Srebrenica Genocide Memorial Study Tour, Tunnel Museum: Bosnian & Yugoslav Wars Tour with War Veteran. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sarajevo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sarajevo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Discover Sarajevo Walking Tour with Local Guide?
+
Included: Certified guide; and Bottle of water. Not included: Food and drinks, unless specified. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Discover Sarajevo Walking Tour with Local Guide?
+
The starting point is in front of Info Bosnia Tourist Information Center located on main pedestrian street Ferhadija, just next to “Sarajevo Meeting of Cultures”. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Discover Sarajevo Walking Tour with Local Guide offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Discover Sarajevo Walking Tour with Local Guide?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
