Great and informative from the 1st minute. Visited some beautiful places which was breathtaking. The guide Ejub was very knowledgeable and spoke great English. He told us many things and pointed things out to us which we would never have learned or known. His driving was very good and I felt safe. Overall, a long but very very enjoyable tour.

We just completed our 9 day tour (balkan tour) with meet bosnia and our tour guide Jamsin was really knowledgeable, understanding and friendly. He took us to the best views as he knew exactly what was our priorities.
And we loved the fact, When our son (3 yr old) got tired, he carried him.
We recommend meet bosnia and Jasmin. We are glad that we chose this tour operator.

Jasmin, my guide for the day, brought the tour to life! He had a great personality, making you feel like a friend the moment you buckled into your seat.

The conversation the whole time felt natural, he shared a lot of information about the places, history and culture! And was ready to answer any questions, while not shying away to weave in jokes and personal stories.

He gave me space to explore spaces on my own and never made me feel rushed, as if we had all the time in the world.

Jasmin was prepared for every situation: keeping you alter with candy, entertaining you with local music while letting you observe landscape on the ride, recommending the best views / photo spots, and having the umbrella ready for the unexpected rain!

The communication with the office was easy and clear!

I definitely would recommend booking your tour(s) with Meet Bosnia!
