Take the Free Walking Tour of Sarajevo first to gain a general insight into the city and its people. Then take "The Last Day of Franz Ferdinand" and the "1425 Days" (Siege of Sarajevo) tours to go deeper into the history of this lovely, but complex, land. Our guide, Halid, was quite happy to share his knowledge about the days leading up to - and following - the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in 1914. He also was happy spend time with us to answer questions we had about present day Sarajevo and the siege of the city. A truly fantastic chap, Halid made sure that we received a fairly good grounding in the city´s history.
