The first time I met Samra was in 2017 when I visited Sarajevo with friends and we had a tour of the city and the Tunnel of Life. She was... read more so incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina that we did not want the tour to end. We wanted to learn and know more and also hear about her experiences. Her warmth and engaged manner also made the tour fun. Since 2017, I have recommended Samra to all friends and family members passing through Sarajevo and looking for a really meaningful and enjoyable tour. In July 2022, I was in Sarajevo again with my husband and when he said he wanted a tour, there was only one person I would consider calling - Samra. Our tour was wonderful and my husband thoroughly appreciated it. For me it was like seeing an old friend - Samra embodies the famous Bosnian hospitality. Highly recommended guide and tour - the only way to see Sarajevo is with Samra.

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?

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!
