Highly recommended, great guide for an somber experience. Good insights and interesting stories about Srebrenica and the war.Der Genozid in Srebrenica ist kein leichtes Thema. Unser Guide Kenan hat dies sehr gut gestaltet. Auf der Fahrt von Sarajevo erzählte er bereits sehr viel über den Krieg in Bosnien und auch die aktuelle politische Situation. Über Rückfragen jeglicher Art war er dankbar und beantwortete sie gerne.

The groups for the tour are small, which I liked a lot because I could get to know the others in the group too.

The trip was amazing, although we had mixed feelings. It was nice to see everything and how all of it happened, but it was sad to be confronted by it. I would hundred procent recommend this tour because it gives you a feeling of how everything happened. Also while driving from Sarajevo to Srebrenica our tour guide Amer explained many details about the war, Srebrenica and all kinds of other information. He is a very polite and nice guy, he told us many great things about the country, he even gave us other recommendations to do in the city and gave us a few restaurants that we should try out (they were great). We were going to Srebrenica on a Sunday, and the Memorial Centre is closed on that day. But the Adventure in Bosnia Tour Agency managed to have it opened just for us by one of their contacts who works there. That made our day because that Sunday was our only chance to go to Srebrenica and we really wanted to visit the Memorial Centre as well, so big thumbs up to Kenan from Adventure in Bosnia for doing that for us. And I want to thank Amer for being a great guide that day!
