Hardworking, helpful, friendly, funny, knows how to have fun, and handsome young man Mr. Senad Borozan is what we described for our tour guide when we visited Balkan for 14 days, 11 nights last March as he made the trip really enjoyable during our stay. It was an unforgettable and lovely experience. We had a fabulous time and we definitely recommend Mr. Senad to anyone who wants to visit there. As for Mr Senad’s, thanks for the great time you had spent with us. Keep it up the excellent job.

Edin is a superb, charming, energetic, fun, loving and knowledgeable tour guide that I am lucky to have engaged for my family’s trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

To begin with, my family has always loved travelling by ourselves, on a free and easy trip without any guide tagging along with us. But since knowing and being introduced to Edin, we decided for a change. What started as a city transfer trip to Jahorina, ended up with us engaging his services for 5 days straight. He delivered his service with a personal touch and sincerity that will forever imprint in our memories forever. He even went the extra mile to fulfil my family’s wish of visiting a Bosnian orphanage home, which was an eye opener to us as well. It was really sweet of him to involve his mom, Bellma, to accompany us to the orphanage home. Despite not speaking any word of English, Bellma has such a kind and beautiful heart. I am very lucky to have met with her.

Edin also accompanied my family to Dubrovnik, Croatia and Kotor, Montenegro. We had such a great time there and felt safe under his guidance.

But above all, we personally felt that Edin has become a part of our family rather than a guide. He has superb knowledge about his home country, delivering interesting facts and it’s deep set history, really well. He is also a skilful driver, always punctual and cares about the safety of others.

It is without a doubt that I would recommend Edin’s personal tour guide services to anyone who wants to explore BiH.

To Edin and Bellma, my family and I wishes you all the best in your future undertakings. Thank you very much for the sweet memories in Bosnia. We will never forget them.

First I was a little bit skeptic about coming to the Balkans, but now I’m so happy I came with my friend. Everything was really great, from the whole trip organization by Ms Tea, to the driver/guide Amer who was funny and smart and made our trip even better. Just want to say that I will be back to the Balkans and will definitely book another trip with Meet Bosnia Travel.
