2.Tunnel Museum Yugoslavia War Tour with War Veteran

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,111 reviews · 4 hours · from $36

Spend four hours with a veteran or war survivor guide such as Adnan, Adis, Mustafa, or Samira, connecting Sarajevo’s Tunnel of Hope with Sniper Alley, Trebevic, the ruined Osmice hotel, the Olympic bobsleigh track, and major cemeteries. The tour runs in English, by private vehicle or small group.

“Our guide was Mustafa. He gave us an insider perspective of how they survived during the war. He was only 13 years old and had to find a way to survive those 3 worse years. While we were making our way to different places. He would tell stories of the different areas. For eg when we passed the green market. That was the site of a massacre. The highlight of the trip was the war time tunnel. I cannot recommend this company and guide enough. I'll be bringing my friends next time here. Mustafa is a professional and that shows in his dedication to his customers.”
