Explore Sarajevo’s street art, wartime memory, and modern culture on a small-group evening walk with an artist guide.
“My partner and I had a great time on this tour, strolling through Sarajevo with Mak and learning about the local street art scene. Sarajevo of course has a rich artistic and architectural history, but the tour is an opportunity to see art that would be easy to miss if sticking to the typical tourist routes and that shows how the aesthetic of the city continues to evolve. Mak is an excellent and friendly guide and it was great to hear directly from someone so familiar with the works and people who created them. We came away with a sense of Sarajevo as a city where people live, work, socialize…”

“Mak was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. He gave us so much history and insight into the region and really took care of us. There is an option to buy meditation tickets for the tunnels which if we hadn’t been leaving Sarajevo I might have done the following day so if you’re into meditation in caves this is a great place to do it.”
Walk Sarajevo’s Jewish quarter, visit synagogues and cemeteries, and learn the story of the Sarajevo Haggadah with a local guide.
“Armina Pijalovic, who escorted us, gave a truly exceptional insight into Bosnia and Herzegovina's recent past as well as current conditions. Although not Jewish herself, she has a rich and compassionate understanding of the community's history. We benefited from her excellent contacts with the surviving Jewish organisations in Sarajevo and with the National Museum housing a unique Haggadah. Ms. Pijalovic was most considerate towards an ageing couple and generous with her time and patience. Probably one of the most impressive tour guides we have ever encountered.”
