This food tour takes you away from the old town and into the Grbavica neighborhood, where real life takes place in Sarajevo. You’ll taste 6 authentic Bosnian dishes in full portions – enough to replace a full meal. The restaurants visited are not tourist places, but where locals eat. At the same time, you will get insights that go beyond food : you will move through a residential district, visit local meeting places and also pass the Grbavica Stadium – a place of great emotional and historical significance for Sarajevo. Thanks to the small group size (maximum 8 people), a personal atmosphere is created, which makes it possible to visit places that are inaccessible to larger groups. This tour is less of a classic food tour – and feels more like an afternoon exploring Sarajevo through food with a local friend.

Big Recommendation**********
We took an afternoon food tour with Nermin. We looped around the district of Grbavica and tried many different local dishes, snacks, deserts & drinks. Nermin made history come to life in the still bullet-holed residential area, guiding us through the darkest to the happiest days of this beautyful part of the city, making it immersive with fotos & videos of past times. We had a great time, lots of laughs and Nermin accommodated well for my mother-in-law who had trouble keeping up due to arthritis. Big big recommendation for Nermin & Kathrins tour company and this tour especially for foodies and history buffs. Loved it!

What a fantastic experience! Numa showed us parts of the city that tourists surely don’t visit. We tried some excellent home-cooked food, learned a lot about recent history, and visited the local football club stadium that had so much history to tell, had some great burek, Bosnian craft beer and some dessert that I’ve never seen before. It was some cooked apple with walnut cream inside and whipped cream on top! Amazing! I would definitely recommend this tour!

Grbavica
Sarajevo is so much more than the old town! My personal highlight was that we got inside the stadium of FK Željezničar and even on the pitch! I learned a lot about their history! Also, I loved it in the “ascinica”! Hearty home-cooked food at it’s best!

Sarajevo Food Tour : 6 Local Small Group Tastings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sarajevo.
How much does Sarajevo Food Tour : 6 Local Small Group Tastings cost?
+
Prices start at $79 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 Food Tour : 6 Local Small Group Tastings take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Food Tour : 6 Local Small Group Tastings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Food Tour : 6 Local Small Group Tastings?
+
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 Food Tour : 6 Local Small Group Tastings suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sarajevo Food Tour : 6 Local Small Group Tastings?
+
Around 2 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sarajevo Food Tour : 6 Local Small Group Tastings 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.
