I joined this tour with my wife. For 3 hours we visited the "Tunnel of Hope" near Sarajevo airport. Our guide Nermin, was a retired Bosniak police-man and had served in the Bosnian civil war. She gave us important information about the war and shared her own experiences with us. The tunnel is very impressive and there are lots of materials about its construction process etc., it impresses you. It is a must-see in Sarajevo with extra time to spare. Thank you Nermin!!!
