4 hours may seem long, but I assure you that with Danijela it will pass quickly. She picked us up directly from the hotel, on time, and made us relive one of the most difficult moments in Europe. A very touching experience, highly recommended.

È stata un'esperienza molto istruttiva e completa, Danijela ci è venuta a prendere al nostro alloggio e ci ha fatto fare un tour super interessante, raccontandoci anche delle sue esperienze personali. Veramente un tour toccante che ci ha permesso di capire qualcosa di più della travagliata storia balcanica. Consigliatissimo.

Danijela is a very nice and competent guide. She brings history to life through personal narratives. Famous SPIEGEL magazine published 2 articles about her story during the siege of Sarajevo. A real witness of history. Great recommendation!
