Fantastic tour with an accommodating guide
Growing up in the 80s, I remember enthusiastically watching the Olympics in Sarajevo. It was a great opportunity to see some of the actual sites from those games! The tour takes you through many wooded, picturesque back roads, which is a nice break from the city. It was especially interesting to hear stories from the local guide describing how the whole community came together to make sure the city was ready to welcome the world for this special event, along with stories of what it was like to live through the tragic events that followed only years later. This tour is recommended for fans of sports and history alike!

Wonderful Experience - Who doesn't love the 1984 Winter Olympics
Our guide was knowledgeable and well versed about the tour topic. We saw the iconic bobsled , ski jumping, men's alpine, and the Igman Hotel. Due to road construction we were a bit late for our next scheduled tour but our guide called our next guide and arranged all the details so we didn't miss a beat. We learned all sorts of fun facts about the 1984 Winter games and was not disappointed. Only wish that road construction hadn't lost time for us as we didn't get to see the Olympic Stadium, Zetra Hall or the Olympic Museum. This should not in anyway reflect on our guide. We highly recommend him, his company, and tour. Outstanding !!!
Response from the operator: Dear guest, Thank you so much for your detailed and kind review! We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the Olympic tour and that your guide shared interesting stories and fun facts about the 1984 Winter Olympic Games. It is great to know that you had the chance to visit some of the most important Olympic locations, including the bobsled track, ski jumping area, alpine sites, and Igman Hotel. We are sorry that the road construction affected the timing and that you could not visit Zetra Hall, the Olympic Stadium, and the Olympic Museum this time. Thank you for understanding that this was outside of the guide’s control. We are also glad that he managed the situation well and coordinated with your next guide so your day could continue smoothly. Thank you again for recommending our guide, company, and tour. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you again for another experience in Sarajevo! Best regards, Meet Bosnia Tours Team

Guide was amazing, tour...
Guide was amazing, tour just seems to be lacking something. It was neat to see each place and not have to walk there or take separate trips, but would be neat to see how this could fuse with the Olympic museum in some way (exhibits at each site, a docent that might accompany the tour, etc.) Nothing to blame on the guide or the company, was just a boring topic for be personally maybe.
Response from the operator: Dear guest, Thank you for your honest feedback! We’re glad to hear that you found the guide amazing and appreciated the convenience of seeing multiple places without separate trips. Your suggestion about integrating the Olympic Museum experience into the tour is a thoughtful one, and we’ll certainly take it into consideration for future improvements. We also appreciate your note that the topic itself may not have been the best fit for your personal interests. Still, we’re grateful you shared your perspective, and we hope to welcome you again on a tour that aligns more closely with your preferences! Best regards, Meet Bosnia Tours Team

Sarajevo: 1984 Winter Olympics Site & Vrelo Bosne Day Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sarajevo.
How much does Sarajevo: 1984 Winter Olympics Site & Vrelo Bosne Day Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $74 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 Sarajevo: 1984 Winter Olympics Site & Vrelo Bosne Day Trip take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Sarajevo: 1984 Winter Olympics Site & Vrelo Bosne Day Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 16 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 Sarajevo: 1984 Winter Olympics Site & Vrelo Bosne Day Trip?
+
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 Sarajevo: 1984 Winter Olympics Site & Vrelo Bosne Day Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sarajevo: 1984 Winter Olympics Site & Vrelo Bosne Day Trip?
+
Around 6 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sarajevo: 1984 Winter Olympics Site & Vrelo Bosne Day Trip 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 Sarajevo: 1984 Winter Olympics Site & Vrelo Bosne Day Trip?
+
Included: Hotel pick-up; Hotel drop-off; Bottled water; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Professional licensed guide. Not included: Tickets for optional use of cable cars or similar activities on the mountains. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Sarajevo: 1984 Winter Olympics Site & Vrelo Bosne Day Trip include hotel pickup?
+
