I was born in Sarajevo in 1986 and have lived here almost my entire life. Apart from Sarajevo, I lived for 11 months in the USA where I learned English. I started working as a guide in 2007 while I was still at the university. I got my Master's degree in English Language and Literature in 2011 but it turned out that tourism is my true passion! Over the last 15 years, I conducted group and individual tours in English and Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, working with thousands of tourists from over 20 countries. I had the privilege of guiding several VIP delegations including ambassadors (Maureen Cormack, US; Nigel Casey, UK; Rahul Chhabra, India), international organizations (USAID), and film personalities (Michael Moore, US). I am as well the lead guide in Sarajevo for Trafalgar and CostSaver travel agencies. Apart from those, I've been guiding for many other agencies such as Gate 1, Contiki, Expat, Grand Circle, Overseas Adventures, and many more. For me personally, this is the best job in the world because it gives you a chance to meet people from different parts of the world and make friends! It is dynamic, interactive, and fun! By choosing me as your private guide, you will have a chance to learn about history, culture, food, and way of life. I love this city and hopefully, you will enjoy it as much as I do! When you are in Sarajevo, what you experience is life! I am looking forward to welcoming you.

This tour combines three tours (Old Town, Old Tales, Sarajevo for Foodies, and the Children of the War) into one great day experience. Join me in the full-day discovery of Sarajevo from the old Ottoman times to Sarajevo nowadays. Sarajevo is a city with a tremendous history. It is a city where World War I started, it hosted the Olympic Games in 1984, and it endured the longest-lasting siege in modern history. Apart from those three major events, it is a true melting pot where different religious buildings and completely different architectural styles can be seen in a small area. To make the day complete, I am taking you to lunch to try our best food.
-navigate through the street of the old town -explore the life in 18th century old Ottoman house -drink Bosnian coffee like the locals do -visit the mosque insider and learn the basics about Islam -stand on the spot where the Assassination of Franc Ferdinand took place, an event that triggered WWI -discover the difference between Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian influences -understand the breakup of Yugoslavia -walk through the man-made Tunnel that was a life-line for the city -drive along the notorious sniper alley -learn about the generations that grew up during the war -learn about the siege from a survivor -Listen to a person’s story of survival, loss, escape, and hope -enjoy Bosnian food
