Highly recommend if you visit Sarajevo
A great way to learn about the war and the siege of Sarajevo.We also visited the site of the 1984 Olympics and had an opportunity to take photos at the site of the bob slide races.. The guide told us of the experiences of his own family during the war making it more personal. Ago, our guide was well versed in history and up to date on world events and politics providing interesting insights.

Great guide and tour in Sarajevo
We did 2 tours with the same guide Mr Armin Komarica which were Morning Walking Tour of Sarajevo’s Old Town as well as Fall of Yugoslavia Tour. Mr Armin was highly personable, professional and knowledgeable about the sites we visited. He also does the food tour too. You can feel his passion of his job and he speaks very good English and his explanation were also highly detailed. At the end of our tours, we were hoping that Mr Armin also can conduct other Bosnian touring activities as we highly enjoyed our time with him. He is highly recommended for those who want to join Meet Bosnia’s tours and you won’t regret.

Profoundly moving experience
Amazing and very moving tour, recounting the breakup of Yugoslavia and the horrific siege of Sarajevo. The tour guides we had, Eddie and Amir, were clearly passionate about their country's history, both remote and recent. They included personal stories along with explanations of what happened during the war, that made the history come to life quite vividly. It was a truly unforgettable experience.
Response from the operator: Dear Pauline, Thank you so much for these lovely words. It makes us happy knowing that you had an unforgettable exerience with us, this is always our intention. It has been a pleasure meeting you. Greetings from Sarajevo, Meet Bosnia Team

WAR TUNNEL - Sarajevo's only way of a communication during the WAR - Top secret: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sarajevo.
How much does WAR TUNNEL - Sarajevo's only way of a communication during the WAR - Top secret cost?
+
Prices start at $29 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 WAR TUNNEL - Sarajevo's only way of a communication during the WAR - Top secret take?
+
Plan for about 1.7 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 WAR TUNNEL - Sarajevo's only way of a communication during the WAR - Top secret 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 15 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 WAR TUNNEL - Sarajevo's only way of a communication during the WAR - Top secret?
+
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 WAR TUNNEL - Sarajevo's only way of a communication during the WAR - Top secret suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book WAR TUNNEL - Sarajevo's only way of a communication during the WAR - Top secret?
+
Around 5 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 1.7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does WAR TUNNEL - Sarajevo's only way of a communication during the WAR - Top secret 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.
