The Sarajevo Gourmet City Tour with Bosnian Coffee is a walking tour of about three and a half hours listed on Expedia and Travelocity, and it focuses on the coffee culture and craft traditions of Sarajevo, the capital of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The meeting point is near the Pope John Paul II statue area in central Sarajevo, with the final location confirmed at booking, and the route leads into the old town around Baščaršija. The listing does not name a separate operator, so visitors should check the booking page for the operator details given at the time of purchase. The centrepiece is traditionally prepared Bosnian coffee, a strong, unfiltered coffee brewed in a small copper pot called a džezva and served with a sugar cube and a piece of rahat lokum, which is central to Bosnian social life. The tour also includes a visit to a coppersmith workshop, where hand-hammered coffee sets and decorative metalwork are made in the tradition of the old bazaar crafts. Local tastings round out the programme, and visitors can expect a mix of savoury and sweet traditional items, though the number of stops and dishes is not specified in the listing, so the food element is lighter than on a dedicated multi-course food tour. The listed price is about 38 to 39 US dollars per person, roughly 68 to 70 KM. Included are the traditionally prepared Bosnian coffee, the coppersmith workshop visit, the local tastings and a walking guide. Items not listed as included, such as extra food, drinks and any purchases at the workshop, are paid separately. Group size, commentary language and dietary substitutions depend on the departure, so visitors with dietary restrictions should contact the operator through the booking page before the tour. The pace is a relaxed walk with seated or standing coffee and tasting stops, and the tour is offered year-round. Comfortable shoes are advisable because of the cobbled lanes in the bazaar.
