In 2017 my late husband and I did a Trafalgar Tour of Croatia, Bosnia and the surrounding areas.
We met Samra on this trip in Sarajevo where she... read more was our Local Guide!
Right away I warmed to her smile and sincere open personality!
Samra shared the city and it's history with great knowledge and passion, and gave us a raw insight into its recent past during the dreadful siege and war time!
She was really informative and interesting to listen to and I can still clearly see her sharing with us and guiding us through her city and the Markets!
You'll love meeting Samra as I did and hearing her story will make you Love Sarajevo too! My heart hurt at what these resilient yet strong people survived through
Love to you Samra, you're a great asset to all tours of Sarajevo and beyond! And a Special Soul!
Thanks you so much!

  Travelers who want a true insider's tour of Sarajevo would be wise to trust your time to Samra. She offers pure heart and soul in her tour and knows enough... read more to satisfy both the novice and the scholar, offering it all with confidence and good humor.

She's clever, funny, and infinitely patient. Interested in history? She's got answers that reflect a thousand plus years of it. Curious about shopping? She's got advice for both practical needs and souvenirs. Want to try the local cuisine or visit sites off the beaten track? Samra knows those places, too, and how best to get there.

We took her war tour and Old Town tour. We are fairly well traveled and have read a lot of history about this region, and with Samra as our guide, we felt that history come alive. She's not going to white-wash the past, so prepare yourself for strong stuff. Sarajevo isn't for sissies, after all.

She's a vibrant, charismatic, witty, smart young woman who knows her stuff inside and out. Well worth her fees, and a big fat tip!

  Really enjoyed and learnt a lot on this tour run by Samra. She made it fun without detracting from what we were learning about this beautiful city.

  I had dreamed of visiting Sarajevo since the Olympics were held there. I knew a few things about this city but I did not know much about its many layered... read more history until we met Samra, our most wonderful guide. Samra took us on a journey from the start of World War 1 to the Bosnian War and current times. I have to say I cried as many times as I laughed and I learned as much about human emotions as I did about history. Samra gave us the facts and she also gave us the space whether at the tunnel or at tea to reflect upon the entire chessboard.

I felt I received a great gift in Sarajevo. I felt I had become a somewhat better person. Thank you, Samra

  Samra was incredibly kind and knowledgeable - not a rare combo in Bosnia and Herzegovina but Samra went above and beyond. Also hearing her lived experience added yet another dimension... read more to an already cool tour. Highly recommend.

  Samra is an excellent guide! She brings Sarajevo to life with her historic history of the city and her personal experience during the war of Sarajevo. She has... read more a terrific sense of humor, perfect English, and is just a delight. She started with an overview of the city that sequenced the tour perfectly. Can't say enough good things about our experience with her. You'll love a tour with Samra!

  At her sister’s recommendation, a friend and I were lucky enough to be able to book a morning and afternoon private tour with Samra on our first day in town.... read more We decided not to waste a moment and opted not to stop for lunch, so Samra very kindly spent 5 uninterrupted hours with us, taking us to many of the important sights and knowledgeably and engagingly and to her great credit— also patiently answering our myriad questions as we tried to wrap our heads around the long and complicated history of Sarajevo! Somewhere along the way we squeezed in a Bosnian coffee break and tried to learn how to drink it like a native! Samra also had some good restaurant recommendations and when it was finally time to call it a day she steered us to a place where we enjoyed some delicious
Cjenovnik!
Thanks to Samra we were able to navigate our way around the old town by ourselves the next day as well as ride the cable car, and so were really able to get the very most out of our two days in Sarajevo!

  We loved our tours with Samra, and hope to see her again! She is not only a tour guide, but a cultural ambassador. We toured downtown Sarajevo, the Tunnel... read more of Hope, and then a day trip to Tito’s bunker and Mostar. She is an expert tour guide, and adept at coordinating and working on the move. Even where the group was split in terms of preferences, she was able to accommodate.
