Interesting and entertaining excursion with an excellent guide!
We booked this tour directly at the agency the day before. Everything was organised on the spot smoothly. Our excursion guide, Safet, is a knowledgeable gentleman and artist that gave us lots of context and background of Bosnian history and the links between the past and the present. We learned a lot through thoughtful conversations and taking time to reflect on the natural sights, the monuments, the symbols and the places. We had coffee breaks in beautiful and special cafés that added to the enjoyment of the journey. Safet was also extremely kind to take us to one of the best cheese shops in the country, in Travnik, were we did buy great produce that we are now enjoying back home. We ate also at the best Burek place in Travnik. The long car rides were accompanied with special music and Safet's comments on the links to Bosnia and the war times. Thank you to Insider City Tours & Excursions and Safet for this special day and journey through BiH. We wish you much continued success.
Response from the operator: Dear guest, Thank you for sharing such an excellent review with the entire community! It's fantastic to know that you enjoyed every minute of the trip and found our guide engaging and knowledgeable. It's our goal to provide an enriching experience, and we're glad to see that reflected in your feedback. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again soon! Best regards!

EXCELLENT, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
I am travelling alone and booked a tour with another company but they cancelled on me because there were not enough participants. Then I booked the tour with Insider Ltd. At the meeting point it turned out I was the only participant for this tour. So happy Insider Ltd. didn't cancel on me too. Pretty sure the tour company barely made any money off the tour with only one participant. The tour itself was great. It's a long drive but the bosnian landscape is beautiful, so definitely worth it. Really enjoyed the conversations I had with tour guide Safet. He had a lot of knowledge about the places we visited. He shared a lot of interesting information about the bosnian history and culture and his personal life and memories as well. The medieval town Travnik and its castle, the city Jajce and its waterfall, the Pliva Lakes with the watermills, all places were absolutely beautiful. Because I was the only participant of the tour Safet told me I could look around as long as I wanted. No time schedule, the only thing that was important was that I had a good time. He asked me if I wanted to see more of Bosnia and even arranged some extra stops for me with more interesting things to see. So we returned back to Sarajevo hours later then planned, no extra charge. I really had a great time and highly recommend booking a tour with Insider Ltd. Thanks again for the wonderful experience!!!

Travnik & Jajce
Amazing nature, wow roads, untouched forests, lake and waterfalls during our tour. This was all splendid, hard to describe its beauties. Emina Koso knows the best in this area, her energy even makes us more energetic :) These are places a humankind must see one day. We probably will come back to Bosnia later for sure to explore more. We attended three tours with Emina and we never got tired of exploring, seeing, learning more about Bosnia thanks to her.

Travnik & Jajce: A Medieval Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sarajevo.
How much does Travnik & Jajce: A Medieval Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $83 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 Travnik & Jajce: A Medieval Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Travnik & Jajce: A Medieval Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 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 Travnik & Jajce: A Medieval Adventure?
+
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 Travnik & Jajce: A Medieval Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Travnik & Jajce: A Medieval Adventure?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Travnik & Jajce: A Medieval Adventure 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 Travnik & Jajce: A Medieval Adventure?
+
Included: Licensed Guide; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Entrance fees to museums. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Travnik & Jajce: A Medieval Adventure?
+
Zelenih beretki 30 Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Travnik & Jajce: A Medieval Adventure offered in?
+
