I recently interviewed Samra, who was highly recommended to me by a friend.

Her English is perfect, and it was very clear to me that she is a kind person who genuinely loves guiding. She also shared her personal experience during the war and enlightened me on many aspects of it. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about Sarajevo from her perspective. Thanks so much for taking the time, Samra!

  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!

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

  Even though I am an experienced traveler, Sarajevo was really never on my radar. As my eyes were opened by Samra, I have come to love this city, most especially... read more the strength and resilience of the people. The story of the tunnel, enhanced by her personal recollections was so riveting I know there’s growth in my limited comprehension of war times. I better understand the current situation in the Ukraine. My advice, definitely take a tour with her and learn.

  Sarajevo is a vibrant, colorful city with a complicated and sometimes dark history.

  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.
