The tour of Srebrenica was done incredibly well considering the topic, our guide Adnan clearly felt deeply about the subject and wanted us to gain a better understanding of it as well as the current situation in Bosnia, he was also very compassionate and understanding over the whole trip which made it enjoyable in the moment between the memorial. The subject is very tragic and hard to go through, however it is incredibly important to see and pay respects to the atrocities committed so I can't recommend enough that you visit.O1758NUbertv

I did this tour with my friends. Our tour guide was Adnan Cengi. He is just an incredible person. He showed us Srebenica and explained details of Srebrenica genocide. We had chance to meet Hasan, survivor of genocide and we had visited memorial complex.

This was an excellent and though provoking tour. It was small group (6 people plus guide) with an informative guide (Ejub), and people felt comfortable asking questions and participating in discussions about what happened in Srebrenica, why it happened and might it happen again. The video and question and answer session at the museum was very good and well received by the group. You are left with the impression the events of 1995 still weight very heavily on the people of BosniaHanenne

This all-day trip from Sarajevo out to Srebrenica was an incredible, though difficult at times, learning experience. Adnan was our extremely-knowledgeable guide and only 4 of us were on the tour, so we had plenty of opportunity to ask questions. (I took full advantage of that! ) The return trip included a lunch stop in a café in a Republika Srpska town. I would highly recommend this tour.
