Excellent tour - super informative and great guide!
I went on the "War tour", and highly recommend it. We also got to walk the bobsled track and learn about the 1984 Olympics which was really wonderful since I remember them well. I learned so much and appreciated how knowledgeable Kamer was and all that he shared with us about the siege of Sarajevo and the war. But he also offered us many insights to the whole region. I am grateful to have experienced the city and surrounding area through the eyes of a local, with family stories and anecdotes that made it very personal. It's the perfect amount of time for the tour and all the stops were well planned and suited to the story/history. It was incredible to be inside history - all of it enveloping us. Great tour and wonderful guide!
Response from the operator: Thank you for such a thoughtful review. It means a lot to us that the tour gave you a deeper connection to Sarajevo and its history. Kamer truly cares about sharing these stories, and we're glad it resonated with you.

Great Experience!
We did the "War Tour" and thanks to Kamer it was more than a tour, it was an experience. Kamer is more than a guide, he is engaging and involving also with a lot of stories about the war periode. Kamer drove us to see the key points to understand the siege of Sarajevo. I firmly recommend Torus Tours! Angela
Response from the operator: Thank you for your thoughtful review, Angela! We’re so glad Kamer could make the "War Tour" such a meaningful experience for you. His passion for sharing the stories of Sarajevo really shines through. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another tour!

Superior Knowledge
Loved the experience. Kamer from Torus tours was very good in explaining the full history of the war tunnel. Kamer has very good knowledge on the history though his young age. Family loved the experience as well.
Response from the operator: Thank you for booking War Tour with us. Looking forward to guide you again!

Amazing war history tour and nice views of Sarajevo
Amazing tour and experience to know what happened in the 90s in Sarajevo. The tour includes the amazing view of the city from Trebević and a walk in the abandoned bobsleigh track. Kamer, our guide, was really nice, and have a lot of knowledge about Sarajevo history. You can ask him whatever you want. I'll be waiting for you at the Olympics!
Response from the operator: Thank you for joining us on the War Tour. Looking forward to see you again!

A great tour
this tour is really worth it. a resident whose family lived during the siege of the city who takes us to the most relevant places narrating the horrible facts that happened here. The guide is super kind and patient, makes the tour unhurried and is very attentive.
Response from the operator: Thank you for booking war tour with us! Looking forward to seeing you again.

Sarajevo Under Siege War Half Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sarajevo.
How much does Sarajevo Under Siege War Half Day Tour 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 Under Siege War Half Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Under Siege War Half Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 29 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 Under Siege War Half Day Tour?
+
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 Under Siege War Half Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sarajevo Under Siege War Half Day Tour?
+
Around 10 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sarajevo Under Siege War Half Day Tour 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.
