This was a memorable tour. Samra has a deep knowledge of the history and culture of Sarajevo, and her tours are engaging and accessible to all. She is enthusiastic about... read more her subject and provides great variety in the tour. I highly recommend her.

  We knew a bit about the war and about the siege of Sarajevo, but we had not known about the tunnel and we had never had an opportunity to speak... read more to someone who lived through the experience. We were extremely fortunate to have Samra for our guide when visiting the city. For the two days that we were together, in addition to providing thorough information about the history of Sarajevo and guiding us to great restaurants to sample delicious dishes, she also shared her personal experience as a young girl living in a war zone and escaping with her mother through the tunnel. As other reviewers have stated, in a matter of minutes she could have you both laughing and crying. And she's so thoughtful and aware, checking in to be sure that she's providing the level of information that worked for us. As we tell our friends about our five-week trip through the Balkans and South Caucasus, we put Samra, the tunnel tour, and Saravejo, as top highlights and especially pertinent given current events.

  One of my favorite experiences was hearing Samra's heartfelt story of her own experience with the War Tunnel. It was very heartwarming to hear her firsthand account. I felt enormous... read more sympathy for the people of Sarajevo.

  I came along with my Wife and her colleagues on this tour and didn't think it was going to be anything special... until we met up with Samra and... read more she took us through Sarajevo and pointed out not only about a war I barely knew anything about, but also the sites of the bullet holes and shrapnel throughout the buildings that I never really noticed before on my own. And the personal stories she shared really made this a very outstanding tour. I was amazed as we went to and through a part of the Tunnel of Life and when we watched some of the movies afterwards... it brought this big Hawaiian guy to tears. Thank you Samra for a very personal and outstanding tour! Much aloha from Hawaii! Kevin

BIG THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP, SAMRA!

  I recently interviewed Samra, who was highly recommended to me by a friend. She’s not only knowledgeable about Bosnian history but is an excellent and articulate storyteller with a great... read more sense of humour.

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.
