Worthwhile to go - It is meaningful to see the former olympic site, at the same time as the frontline during the war, in half day. The violence is directly presented through architecture, so as the complicated history of Bosnia in the last half century. Also it is a great combination of natural tour and museum tour. Our tour guide Agan(or Alan? forgive my poor memory) is really good, understandable and friendly. I really enjoyed today!

Ski jumps and Bobsled track were brilliant - Alan was my tour guide. I was lucky to be the only person on the tour. Alan took me to all the Winter Olympic locations.
The highlights were definitely the abandoned ski jump at Igman and the bobsled track at Trebevica.
But i also got to see the abandoned Hotel Igman, the former olympic village, the stadiums and the slalom track.
Absolutely fantastic and really blew me away.
Thanks Alan!

It's a bit sad for those who love the Olympics (especially the Winter Olympics), but I'm glad I went... - I took a private tour of the Sarajevo Olympic site.
Our driver and guide, Bedo, gave a very detailed explanation. He answered all my questions he could about not only the Olympics, but also Sarajevo's past and present.
We visited as many Olympic-related facilities as we could, and I thought it was wonderful that we all took different routes and saw different views at each one.
It was an interesting tour that allowed us to see the effects of the civil war from a different perspective, the Olympic site. I recommend it.

Exciting Olympic Tour - The Olympic tour was done on Wednesday, November 22, under winter weather conditions. It had snowed quite a bit the night before.
Fortunately, Senad, our driver, was an experienced driver and he reassured us in a special way. Despite the snow, we still went to the ski jumps and the bobsleigh track by car. This made it a special experience.
Senad told us a lot, he was aware of everything and gave very interesting information about both Sarajevo and the mountains in a light-hearted manner.

★★★★★★ - The tour was great. Jasmin was an amazing guide. Full of knowledge, very open and really friendly. He was more than happy to stop at any extra spots we passed that we wanted to take a look at (Igman hotel, Old hospital) . If you want to do an Olympic tour, this is the one to do.

Guide was amazing, tour... - Guide was amazing, tour just seems to be lacking something. It was neat to see each place and not have to walk there or take separate trips, but would be neat to see how this could fuse with the Olympic museum in some way (exhibits at each site, a docent that might accompany the tour, etc.)
Nothing to blame on the guide or the company, was just a boring topic for be personally maybe.
