City of Srebrenica is located around two and half hours from the city of Sarajevo. Road takes us through desolate mountainous area with beautiful nature of Eastern Bosnia. While You are able to enjoy scenery we will start our presentation with detailed stories, carefully selected so You are able to understand a complex matter of "The Fall of Yugoslavia" which is crucial for Your understanding of Srebrenica genocide.

There we will be meeting the curator and experience first-hand story about the survival in Srebrenica enclave.

5.00We did the 4 hour war tour with Adnan, who fought in the 1990s war and is now a peace activist. He was thoughtful and informative, and we felt we got a much deeper understanding of the historical roots of the conflict and what happened in Sarajevo during the war. If you’re looking for entertainment, this is not the tour for you, but if you are interested in broadening your understanding of recent Bosnian history, my husband I highly recommend this tour.
Could not have had a more rewarding day

5.00I would highly recommend this tour if you want to really start to understand the impact the 1990s war has had on this country. It is a long tour easy 10 to 12hrs, including several hours driving through the glorious Bosnian countryside. Before touring the former UN base near Sebrinica, this is not easy viewing, it is emotionally draining, not at all suitable for young children. Make sure when you book it you get the tour guided by a war veteran. Our guide Adnan, was an absolute star. Could not have had a more rewarding day. Ian & Mandi
An unforgettable trip.

5.00It 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.

5.00met 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

5.00Adnan 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

5.00This 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!

5.00During 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!

5.00An 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.
