Nermin made history come to life in the still bullet-holed residential area, guiding us through the darkest to the happiest days of this beautyful part of the city, making it immersive with fotos & videos of past times. We had a great time, lots of laughs and Nermin accommodated well for my mother-in-law who had trouble keeping up due to arthritis. Big big recommendation for Nermin & Kathrins tour company and this tour especially for foodies and history buffs. Loved it!”
