An unforgettable trip. - It was a very worthwhile experience, driving 2.5 hours to town and visiting the memorial centre. The sandwich for lunch was delicious, Adnan was responsible, meticulously explained and told us about his war experience, very vivid. It was great value for money.

a *must* - met at the office which is centrally located in the old town. our knowledgeable tour guide/driver gave a comprehensive overview of bosnian history before we reached potocari. there, we had around 3 hours at the museum, learning in depth about what happened in srebrenica and how 8,372 men and boys ended up ruthlessly executed in an ethnic cleansing. before we returned back to sarajevo, we visited the cemetery where the dead were buried. overall, had a great day tour with dream balkans

10/10 Experience - Adnan is without a doubt, the beset guide for this tour. As a war vet who participated in defending Sarajevo, he told our group many animated and deeply-personal stories about his time during the war. The trip itself is also educational as I learned a tremendous amount of history from the tragic period of time in BiH. This is a must-do if you are visiting Sarajevo

Very important tour, totally recommend it - This is such an important tour to take. I recommend it to everyone. Our tour guid Adis picked us up at the agreed location and drove us to Srebrenica. On the way he told us stories about the history of Bosnia, Yugoslavia and told his personal stories during the war and stories of his relative during the genocide in Srebrenica. He was very friendly and is full of knowledge. It’s a person we could listen to for days. During the drive he would point out locations where horrible things happened. At the museum another guide was waiting for us to tell us about the genocide. After that Adis took us to Srebrenica to tell us more about the town and we visited the cemetery. Endless graves, endless names. Very emotional, heartbreaking but as I said very important tour to take. As our Tourguide Adis told us at the end ‘it’s the least that we can do for the victims. I also want to point out that he is a great driver, drove very safe. Thank you for this experience Adis.

An experience I'll never forget! - During the winter off-season, I was the only person booked for the Srebrenica tour. But they didn't cancel—they gave me a full private tour instead. Our guide was a war veteran who lived through the events, and hearing real stories from someone who was actually there made the history incredibly personal and real. He explained everything with such detail and honesty—things you simply can't learn from books or documentaries. Walking through the memorial and hearing firsthand accounts brought a deep understanding of what happened there. Dream Balkan Travel handled this sensitive tour with the utmost respect and professionalism. If you're visiting Bosnia, this is an essential experience. It's heavy, it's emotional, but it's something everyone should witness. Thank you very much, Dream Balkan Travel! 🇧🇦

The trip from Sarayevo takes about 3 hours but it is worth if you are interested in the recent war of ex Jugoslavia. The hangar where the UN forces were located is now a museum with lots of pictures, objects that witness what happened at that time and you feel the sense of failure that humanity lived here. The cemetery is big as I remember I saw on tv at that time, but being there, in that landscape makes you feel astonished for the large number of dead people. Senat was a very good guide, he replied to all our questions and provided us with a lot of details, he who lived the war personally. Not to be missed!

An absolute memorable... - An absolute memorable trip, and as you would expect utterly humbling. The communication with the operator was great, but the overall best part of the tour was Adis. His experience, and willingness to share his personal stories really had a lasting impact on me, and provided immense additional context to the genocide and war.

Excellent tour guide who was a former soldier turned peace activist and mediator. Recipe for a successful full day tour. - Our group could not have had a better tour guide than Adnan a former soldier in the Bosnian Army turned peace activist and peace mediator immediately after the war and now also a tour guide. His knowledge and experience made it even more impressive because of his neutrality when addressing this sensitive topic also looking at it through the eyes of the enemy always exploring ways to bring permanent peace and reconciliation. A truly remarkable man bringing light to a full day tour that hold so much pain and suffering. The long journey was in a comfortable and clean vehicle with a delicious roll prepared for us and a complimentary bottle of water giving the tour a special touch.

Emotional, Must visit! - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Srebrenica tour was deeply moving and incredibly well organized. Our guide Adis was exceptional — respectful, knowledgeable, and very empathetic. He explained the historical background with great clarity and sensitivity, giving us a real understanding of what happened there. It was an emotional experience, but one that everyone should have to truly grasp the impact of the war. I highly recommend this tour — it’s unforgettable and handled with the utmost respect.
