Having been a teenager when all this ugliness occurred, it was really something to be up close and personal with this aspect of Bosnian history. Things could have been a little smoother, but seeing how Sarajevo tourism is in its nascent stages, it is easily forgivable. Our tour guide knew so much detail and was able to answer every question, even difficult ones, without hesitation. Excellent driving as well through the winding hills and mountains of Bosnia. Book with confidence.
