My guide was Adnan, a very very knowledgeable and experienced person who shared with me with his story. He is an activist now and taught me a lot about the background of Srebrenica, but not only this - he answered on ever question I had about situation in Yugoslavia back then and the current one in Balknas, about the hate speech and the political situation in the world. During the trip I felt like my brain will explode from the amount of information but also it felt like puzzles were falling into place. I think the tour teaches more in those few hours than a year at school.
I was also very nicely surprised by the approach of the office. Even tho it was Sunday, so the Memorial was closing earlier and we had to leave, they called me later to apologize for this and make sure that nevertheless I had a great day, which it was!
I highly recommend the trip, it really opens eyes on many things and I can say it was one of the best tours in my life.

The tour guide Ibrahim was very knowledgeable when he shared the history of the genocide with us. It was terribly what happened there but it is a part of our modern history.

My wife and I went to Srebrenica with our guide, Adis, lovely guy with huge sense of humor, honest, and very friendly. It was a moving trip because you will experience how the war took everything you have. It’s very recommended to those who wants to dig deeper into Bosnian history.

Adi was the best guide we’ve ever had. Communication with him was easy and he was extremely accommodating. We can definitely recommend this tour if you’re looking to learn about the whole picture. Adi started with a history lesson at the very beginning of Bosnia’s history to put what eventually happened in the 90s in the right context. His story telling was very engaging and easy to understand. In the museum he let us browse on our own so we didn’t feel rushed and as a result of that we came back late, but he didn’t mind at all, because he’s just an overall wonderful person. It was exactly what we had hoped for and more.

You really have to see this once. The guide gives a lot of information, which is very valuable to finally be able to understand what happened in Srebrenica. Very professional, nice and respectful guide. There is room for everyone's opinion. I’m Bosnian (living in the Netherlands) and I know that the war can be a sensitive subject, but the guide gave us a very good experience. We also were warmly welcomed by a lovely woman who took care of our lunch. I traveled alone but felt very safe. The guide picked us up and brought us back safely as well. I definitely recommend going with this organization.

Before the tour i was contacted and informed very good from the office. But also after the tour, they asked me if i liked it.
The tour started with a pickup from our driver and and the same time touroperator Ömer.
We where brought first to the Srebrenica genocide memorial.
On our way too the memorial museum Ömer told us the start from the history of Bosnia and later on to the war.
It was told very good so you get a clear vision on how and why it did happen.
Ömer can tell this story very good and strong because he is well informed and speaks perfect english.
Not only that, Ömer can tell it with great passion because he is a proud bosnian.
Also he saw the war himself as a child in Sarajevo, so he can tell it with lots of emotions.
He is also open for quistions, even if they are offensive.
And as last Ömer is a very funny, friendly, sharing and helpfull guy.
Special thanks to Ömer.
After the Genocide Memorial we went to the Srebrenica memorial museum.
The Genocide memorial is very touching to be there.
Same as the memorial museum wich is perfectly made because it starts from the begin, during and aftermath of the war.
For both these visits, we get enough time to look around.
After the memorials we went to a Bosnian family wich has returned too Srebenica after te war.
First we get a great homemade Bosnian lunch wich was delicious.
After the lunch the woman of the family told her story.
This story was very emotional and strong.
She showed whats she stands for and it was all love and no hatred at all.
After this we went to visit the city Srebrenica it self wich is almost a ghosttown.
In the end, this tour was very special for me to end my 1 week long Bosnia journey.
Where i met lots of beautiful open en heartfull people.
And saw a lots of beautiful sights.
Thank you for this tour everyone and thank you Bosnia.

Adnan was my guide for this tour. He did a fantastic job, and was extremely knowledgeable, and was able to share with us his personal experience with the conflict, which was invaluable. He is a wealth of knowledge not only on the conflict, but on Bosnian history in general. We also had a lovely lunch with a local woman, who spoke to us about her own past in Srbrenica. This was certainly a highlight of the trip. I would recommend this trip highly. It was one of the highlights of my trip to the Balkans.
Bonne_M, Aug 2021
An impressive day with a good guide who told us a lot of information. We had a educative day to never forget.
