Hey there 👋 I'm Mensur and I am a full-time developer and part-time tour guide living in Sarajevo. It is the city where I grew up and I would love to show you my favourite spots. Whether you are interested in history, architecture, art or gastronomy I always aim to provide you with the information that will help you see the best of Sarajevo. I love traveling myself and I find walking tours the best way to get my bearings when I arrive in a new city. Learning languages is also a big passion of mine and therefore I can offer you tours in English, Spanish, German and hopefully Italian soon. I am looking forward to meeting you!
