★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5 reviews · 3 hours · from $58

A 3-hour small-group walk through Sarajevo’s 1914 turning point, from Austro-Hungarian landmarks to the Latin Bridge assassination sites.

“It was a a very comprehensive explanation of the historical context of the assassination as well as the detail of the event itself. The way in which Prinzip and the other conspirators have been memorialised (and not) was fascinating. My guide Ahmed Huseinoviċ was outstanding in every way. His use of academic and colloquial English entirely met the needs of the subject for me. He was able to explain everything with great clarity injecting interest and colour throughout. Information and explanation about much else relating to the history of Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina was provided, much in response to my questions with which Ahmed was very patient. This tour…”
