Eternal Flame
The Eternal flame is a memorial to the military and civilian victims of the Second World War in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The memorial was dedicated on 6 April 1946, the first anniversary of the liberation of Sarajevo from the four-year-long occupation by Nazi Germany and the fascist Independent State of Croatia.

Sniper Alley
"Sniper Alley" was the informal name primarily for streets Zmaja od Bosne Street and Meša Selimović Boulevard, the main boulevard in Sarajevo which during the Bosnian War was lined with snipers' posts, and became infamous as a dangerous place for civilians to traverse. The road connects the industrial part of the city (and further on, Sarajevo Airport and Tunnel o Hope) to the Old Town's cultural and historic sites. The boulevard itself has many high-rise buildings giving sniper shooters extensive fields of fire.
Pass by without stopping
National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina
The museum is a cultural and scientific institution covering a wide range of areas including archaeology, art history, ethnology, geography, history and natural history. The Sarajevo Haggadah, an illuminated manuscript and the oldest Sephardic Jewish document in the world issued in Barcelona around 1350, containing the traditional Jewish Haggadah, is held at the museum.

Very good for understanding Bosnia past and present
A must if you want to know about the history of Yugoslavia. We visited the tunnel of Hope as well as the Bobsled run of the Sarajevo Olympics as well as driving past various places of interest. Our guide Ago was very knowledgeable about history and The politics of the region and gave us many valuable insights.

A must do in Sarajevo
If I could give 10 stars I would. We were picked up from our hotel by Edo and from the first moment he was giving us information about the civil war and it was first hand as he fought. What he told us was both fascinating and distressing both as a soldier and about general life. This trip is a must.

Sad but well worth the knowledge you will gain
Experienced sadness, we were there for an hour. We met people from other countries, who were visiting because they had lost members of their family.

A piece of you will be changed.
This is a guided tour everyone should do when visiting Sarajevo, being able to have first hand accounts from those living there during the siege was life changing and the stories will remain with me. When you book somewhere like Bosnia and Herzegovina to travel to you are coming to see the beauty of the country but also to see the history of the place. This tour was educational full on insight and something I will recommend everyone to do with their time here. We got to go through the tunnel of hope, and see the Olympic track along with other stops on the way. I truly thank Samira for sharing her story with us. Thank you DreamBalkans for organising the tour. Everything from pick up to the tours first stop, the communication with them is fantastic.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tunnel Museum: Bosnian & Yugoslav Wars Tour with War Veteran: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sarajevo.
How much does Tunnel Museum: Bosnian & Yugoslav Wars Tour with War Veteran cost?
+
Prices start at $42 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 Tunnel Museum: Bosnian & Yugoslav Wars Tour with War Veteran 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 Tunnel Museum: Bosnian & Yugoslav Wars Tour with War Veteran worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 582 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Sarajevo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tunnel Museum: Bosnian & Yugoslav Wars Tour with War Veteran?
+
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 Tunnel Museum: Bosnian & Yugoslav Wars Tour with War Veteran 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 Tunnel Museum: Bosnian & Yugoslav Wars Tour with War Veteran?
+
Around 204 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 Tunnel Museum: Bosnian & Yugoslav Wars Tour with War Veteran 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, Sarajevo: Mostar, Konjic, Blagaj, Pocitelj, Kravica fall & Brunch. 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 Tunnel Museum: Bosnian & Yugoslav Wars Tour with War Veteran?
+
Included: Hotel pickup (if required by guests who stay out of the Old Town of Sarajevo); Transport by air-conditioned car/minivan; and Driver/Guide. Not included: Food; and Hotel drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Tunnel Museum: Bosnian & Yugoslav Wars Tour with War Veteran?
+

What languages is Tunnel Museum: Bosnian & Yugoslav Wars Tour with War Veteran offered in?
+
