Fascinating Insight into Contemporary Bosnia - This was such an interesting tour, spent largely off the typical tourist trail and we couldn't have asked for a better guide in Senad. Our trip to the sand pyramids was interesting: not only were they beautiful, and the trip to them was through stunning mountains and farms, but it also took us through a Chinese-owned coal mine - this development in the country's economy was interesting to see. Nearby Foča was once an important town within the Ottoman Empire, and we saw how the town had changed down the centuries, with its rich history. It once housed an early Ottoman-built mosque, which was completely destroyed during the war of the 1990s; we saw its replacement. We walked around the town and our guide pointed things out to us that we would never have understood: the significance of graffiti, the abundance of VW Golfs, ribbons around trees. It was fascinating to get a glimpse into life in the post-war Republika Srpska; so different to what we'd seen elsewhere. After lunch (in a restaurant favoured by Tito), we went on to Goražde. Again, fascinating. We heard how the city suffered so terribly under siege and saw how resilient and creative the people were in surviving (though many sadly didn't). It's a vibrant, bustling town, very different in feel to Foča just down the road. I can honestly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina. You will learn about the horrors of the 1990s war in the eastern and more rural parts of the country, how the country was divided post-war and the contrast in life for people in both areas. Having such a wonderful guide was so important in helping us understand what we were seeing. This isn't a typical sight-seeing tour, but if want to learn more about how people live, then this is the tour for you. We are so pleased we did it and we will never forget it; it has given us such a better understanding of the social-political challenges within the Balkans.
