My husband and I arrived in Sarajevo today. It was my first visit and his first time back in almost 30 years, so finding the right introduction to the city felt important.I found the food and artisans tour through Meet Bosnia but the timings did not work for us. I contacted them directly to ask about arranging a private tour and they were incredibly helpful. We arrived at our hotel at around 1pm and were able to start the tour at 3, which was perfect.It has been a wonderful introduction to Sarajevo. We were delighted to meet Arna, our guide. She is clearly proud of her city and has a genuine love for it which comes across very naturally. Sarajevo is a place that wears its heart on its sleeve and Arna helps you understand that in a very real and thoughtful way.At the start she gave us a really useful overview, not a rigid itinerary but more an insight into what we might notice in people, behaviours and the general atmosphere of the city. It helped us see things we would otherwise have missed.She was warm, open and completely authentic. There was never any pressure to buy anything or to spend longer in certain places, which we really appreciated. The experience felt very relaxed and personal.As we walked through the city she pointed out places of significance, suggested locations to return to and gave us some excellent restaurant recommendations. It was also clear that she knows the city and its people well, which added to the sense of being properly immersed.I do not want to overstate it, but hearing Arna speak about her own experiences during the war and the siege of Sarajevo was one of the most interesting and meaningful conversations I have had on any tour. What stayed with me most was her perspective today, which is positive, forward looking and rooted in a genuine desire for unity and happiness.The food and drinks were all delicious and gave us a great introduction to the local culture, but what really made this tour stand out was the depth of connection and understanding it offered.Sarajevo is a fascinating and complex city and this felt like the perfect way to begin to understand it.Meet Bosnia and Arna are excellent. If you are considering booking this tour, I would absolutely recommend
