🇧🇦 Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Speaks English German

About Amar

I was eleven when the siege of Sarajevo started and fifteen when it ended. I have been guiding for twelve years, mostly the war history, because visitors want to understand it and because I think it should be told by people who lived through it, carefully and without drama. I also do a gentler walk through Baščaršija, from the Sebilj fountain to the Gazi Husrev-beg mosque, the Orthodox Old Church, the Catholic cathedral and the synagogue, all within a few hundred metres. I lived in Germany for four years as a refugee, which is why I speak German. I will always leave time for questions. You can now join my walks through Sarajevo live on video, from any device, and ask me questions as we go.

    Exactly what we hoped for

    Our guide knew every corner and the stories behind it. We learned more in two hours than in a week of reading.

How reviews work

Only travellers who booked and paid through Locals Guide and whose tour took place can leave a review, within 60 days of the tour. Every review is marked "Verified booking". We check reviews before they appear and publish positive and negative ones alike; we remove only reviews that break our rules (insults, personal data, unrelated content). Guides cannot pay for, edit or hide reviews, and ratings are the plain average of all published reviews.
