Hello, dear travelers! My name is Edin Ogresevic, and I am a licensed tour guide for Bosnia and Herzegovina. I was born and raised in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina—often called the "Jerusalem of Europe" due to its incredible mix of cultures, religions, and histories. Growing up in this extraordinary city gave me a deep appreciation for its unique character, and it has always been my passion to share its beauty, history, and traditions with the world. A Passion Turned Into a Career Although I hold a degree in economics, my true calling has always been tour guiding. Since 2012, I have dedicated my life to this profession, gaining extensive experience leading various types of tours and working with travelers from all around the globe. One of the most memorable moments of my career was in 2015, when I had the honor of guiding former U.S. President Bill Clinton and meeting Madeleine Albright. This experience was truly inspiring and encouraged me to establish Meet Bosnia Tours, which has grown into one of the leading tour operators in Bosnia and Herzegovina. What to Expect When Touring With Me If you choose me as your guide, you will not just explore Bosnia and Herzegovina—you will experience it. I take great pride in sharing the country's rich history, traditions, and diverse religious heritage, as well as revealing hidden gems that most visitors don’t get to see. Whether you're looking for the best traditional food and coffee, historical landmarks, or personal stories from Sarajevo’s past, I will make sure you leave with unforgettable memories. I am known for being responsible, flexible, and outgoing, ensuring that every tour is engaging, insightful, and tailored to your interests. My goal is for you to experience Bosnia not just as a visitor but as a friend. Professional Credentials I am a licensed tour guide for Bosnia and Herzegovina, certified to provide in-depth historical and cultural tours. Additionally, I hold a special certification in "Jewish Sarajevo", allowing me to offer deeper insights into the Jewish heritage of the city. While I can guide you through every corner of Bosnia and Herzegovina, please note that I am not permitted to conduct tours outside of the country. I look forward to welcoming you to Bosnia and Herzegovina and showing you why this land is so special. Let’s explore together!

In the last hundred years, three times Sarajevo was the center of the world. The first time in 1914 when the Assassination that caused the First World War happened here. The second time was in 1984 when Sarajevo hosted XIV Winter Olympic Games in communist Yugoslavia. And the third time was just 8 years later when the war started in Bosnia and Herzegovina which brought the world the longest siege in modern warfare - the Siege of Sarajevo. With your experienced Sarajevo local guide, you will be able to understand much better the rich and sometimes violent history of Sarajevo and the whole Balkan region. The facts presented in this t war tour are delivered from an intellectual perspective, greatly insightful if you want to learn about what it was like to live in the former Yugoslavia and to have been affected by the war, as well as the big picture of these tragic events.
