“Highlight in Sarajevo - We stumbled into the Art and Tours office in the Old City by coincidence, looking for a town map. Mak was friendly and we got talking about what tours they offer and our ears pricked up when he mentioned a Street Art Tour and a Street Art Workshop, both sounded fascinating.” - Reviewed on 2019-10-16
