Kenan was an amazing tour guide! He drove very safely during the tour, especially when it was foggy out. He was very knowledgeable and personable. We had so much fun taking pictures and hearing about the history of Bosnia, the sites we visited, and the different cultures. Bosnia Herzegovina is truly a hidden gem of the world! I will be recommending this tour to all my friends and family. He went above and beyond for any request to visit a store. He provided delicious sandwiches, took pictures for us, and honestly was one of the best tour guides we have ever had. We also taught him a thing or two about mallards. It was such an amazing experience and beautiful country! He explained the history and culture very clearly. Thank you for having us!

The visit went very well and our guide was drinving very careful. The panoramas and the cities are magnificent. The advantage of having participated in December is that there were not many tourists, which allowed to enjoy each place peacefully. The guide was very attentive and answered all our questions. He didn't hesitate to stop the car in some places to take pictures.

It was really amazing! The 2 guides Vico and Haris were amazing. They explained the full history of the places an we had enough time for every place. It was beautiful and we also had good weather.

The trip was throughly enjoyable. Our guide was wonderful. He tailored the excursion to our preferences. He was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Sites were beautiful and interesting.

Awesome trip. Guide Kenan was great in every aspect. Highly reccomend!
