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!

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

For those who enjoy learning about an area from a native, this is the tour for you. Samra provided excellent information about the history and culture of Sarajevo, and she... read more did it from the perspective of someone who has lived through some of the city's most dramatic events. This tour provided an education about Sarajevo on so many levels. Highly recommended.

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.

Samra's tour for the two of us was moving beyond words. The war was made real & too current for comfort. The facts and places merged with the personal and... read more immediate did more than just teach us. The city's long amazing past was revealed in architecture and events at a comfortable pace and with grace and humor. I cannot imagine how anyone could do better than to tour with Samra.

My group and I took the walking city tour with Samra. She was an excellent and engaging tour guide. We were a group of 4 adults and one child. Samra... read more provided a really good overview of the complex and nuanced history and culture in Sarajevo, weaving in her own experiences and perspective. She explained everything very clearly and answered all of our many questions. I’ve taken a lot of tours while traveling and Samra truly leads a great tour and one we learned a lot and will remember. Thank you!

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.

I learned much more from you today!
an unusual lesson – that of detachment. In
your process post-war and as a guide, you
expressed that you learned how to let go your
feelings about a person who may not be
moved by your story of the war.
When attached to an outcome it seems we
suffer and we surely do not change or affect
the other person. This insight has just
changed me. I have heard similar words
before but it never “hit home” as it did today.
We are very grateful that you went beyond a “tour” and shared part of yourself with two strangers.
and left us with so many memories that we
have not yet finished relating them to our
friends. We’d like to say all of those
memories are happy ones but please be
assured that even the ones that left us sad–or
worse–are the memories we needed. People
have to know and they need to learn your
recent history in a way that gets into their
bones.
You have been a fantastic guide!
Thank you for making our time in Sarajevo very special!
Thanks so much for a wonderful four days in Sarajevo.
Thanks so very much for sharing your country and personal story with us yesterday and today.
I value the education you have provided and I will never forget your persistence and resiliency.
