The tour was a mix of a very thorough explanation of the history of the region, the course and consequences of the conflict and his own personal story of how the Siege impacted his family.

“What a nice experience. Faruk is super kind and knows a lot about Bosnia. He took his time exploring the more unknown parts of the city with us, places you otherwise wouldn’t go. We saw for example, the Olympic village and the Bosnian spring, but he lets you decide for yourself which parts you want to discover. But it was really Faruk who made this a lovely tour. You can tell he truly enjoys giving these tours and loves biking. I would definitely recommend this to everyone. Thanks a lot for the lovely day Faruk!”
