I had the most amazing trip with HTG, the team went above and beyond to make this trip fun, educational and memorable. A big shout out to the Malaysian team especially Zahran, who was a wonderful lead. The hotel locations and restaurants recommendations were excellent choices. I could not recommend HTG more for this trip!

I had an amazing time alhemdulilah. I met such wonderful people who had amazing stories to tell. As a college student I think that it is such an important place to visit especially for young adults and I know it will be one of the most impactful trips that I have taken in my lifetime. I learned so much about my ummah away from the west and with what is happening in Palestine, learning about Bosnia helped me learn about the history but also gave me hope that we will see a free Palestine inshallah. The trip was planned really well, it had the perfect balance of sightseeing and fun activities balanced with learning about the history of Bosnia. Brother Sami Hamdi and Sister Soumaya, were amazing as well as our tour guide Sister Selma, by the end you felt like they were family. They were always open to listen and were very accommodating and welcoming. I will definitely be using Halal Travel Guide again in the future inshallah.
