Want something unique and unorthodox in Sarajevo and Bosnia & Herzegovina? You came to the right place. My name is Kenan but I fully embraced my tour-guiding alter ego, Ken. I love meeting new people, cultures, and customs from all over the world while being located in my hometown. Huge fan of open-minded discussions which directly translates to my tour-guiding style. My tours are filled not just with some "Wikipedia" knowledge, but with personal insights and unique stories from my own life that are inspired by people surrounding me like my parents, family, friends, colleagues, and travellers themselves. I've been doing this for 7 years now and I'm proud to say that tourism and guiding are my life call, even though I was randomly introduced to them. A lot of tourists say that B&H is highly underrated as a country and tourist destination, so I made it my mission to make people see Sarajevo and Bosnia & Herzegovina through my own eyes and fall in love with it the same way I am. Join me for an epic adventure to learn new things, eat like a king, and meet some really cool people. I'm certified tour guide for Bosnia and Herzegovina. I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding, I can offer a full range of experiences

Overview of your Sarajevo tour

Dive deep into the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina as you explore Sarajevo on this war-focused history tour. I would love to guide you through and help you discover the key landmarks of the capital city including the Tunnel of Hope, the enemy sniper and artillery positions, and the Yellow Fortress. I will provide information about the Siege of Sarajevo, the longest siege in modern history, from my own personal point of view. Even though I wasn't technically born until the second part of the siege (1994), my family members were part of this war and the very interesting thing is that my uncle was the guy who gave the initial idea for the tunnel to be built since he was one of the advisors to the president himself at the time and he had a background in civil engineering. We will be talking about the aftermath of the war as well since my father never left the army, and stayed there until 2005 and I will share all of the internal struggles that people had to put up with that you can't find on Google.
