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.

Overview of your Sarajevo tour

Unfortunately, Sarajevo is a city that survived the longest-lasting siege of any European city in its modern history. This tour covers it all! You will understand why and how the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina started, and how the city survived without a proper army, electricity, gas and water. However, the special emphasis on this tour will be the children's perspective and their stories! Apart from the Tunnel of Life which is a must-see in Sarajevo, we will visit the War Childhood museum which tells a story from the children's point of you. You will get a chance to know their stories and memories from the war. Apart from all of that, you will hear about my personal experiences during that horrible times! So, join me for a truly personal insight into the history of my city.
