Funky Tours Anmeldelser 

We recently did the Funky Tours Sarajevo Seige tour and our advice is “Do this tour. Make it a priority.”

The organisation and communication for the tour was excellent and it is absolutely worth the ticket fee. You are driven to many different places around Sarajevo and then you get to walk around while listening to the guide.

Almir was our guide. He is not just incredibly knowledgeable about the history and politics but he has a passion for connecting with people and helping them to understand what happened in Sarajevo. He shares personal stories and gives you an insight into his personal philosophy of building peace and understanding. His language skills are exceptional and as you move from site to site he adds different layers so in 4 hours, you hear what happened from different perspectives.

I learnt so much. This tour is a starting point to understand what happened in Sarajevo and helped me to get a feel for the city today. A message that everyone needs to hear. I am a teacher and this was a truly immersive learning experience that I will never forget.

Thanks so much Almir and everyone at Funky Tours.

In August my wife and I went on a tailor-made journey across all the countries of Western Balkans. The tour was organized by Ema Konakovic of Funky Tours.

Ema proved to be a brilliant planner. She organized the tour carefully in order to cover every important sight in seven countries. It was so well planned and executed that things went like clockwork. The journey was an incredibly rewarding and thoroughly enjoyable experience. Even the smallest detail on the trip was attended to. Aside from superb hotels (much superior to what I expected), a very comfortable and spacious private air-conditioned vehicle, and excellent guide and drivers, there were walking tours with local guides in every city we visited.

Our main guide Stefan who stayed with us for the entire journey was not only knowledgeable of the countries we traveled, he was exceptionally polite and courteous and narrated numerous anecdotes and humorous stories about the people and culture of the lands we covered. He was greatly entertaining.

Mark and Senad were not only excellent drivers (they drove us from Ljubljana to Tirana through seven countries), they were also exceptionally polite, courteous and helpful. From the moment we met Stefan, Mark and Senad in Slovenia to when we were finally dropped off at the airport in Albania, they treated us like royalty, going way beyond what they were expected to do.

Even the walking tour guides were exceptional. In particular, I remember Andrea in Trogir.

Five stars to Stefan, Mark, Senad, Andrea and all the rest, but above all to Ema who stood behind and made everything happen. Will remember them and the journey for a very long time.

Mes filles et moi avons décidé de choisir le tour du siège de Sarajevo avec Funky Tours Adventure et nous avons été très touchées par la générosité de notre guide, vétéran de ce siège, qui a partagé avec nous son expérience, ses connaissances mais aussi son questionnement et ses réflexions. Nous ne verrons plus Sarajevo et ses habitants de la même façon maintenant que nous avons appris, grâce à ce tour, à mieux "lire" les signes et les lieux du siège encore présents dans la ville.

When I was in Sarajevo, I used Funky Tours on four occasions - all of them productive and fun. The guides who also were the vehicle drivers were as knowledgeable as history professors, considerate of clients and very dedicated to their jobs you would think they are co-owners of the company. I did Free Walking Tour of Sarajevo guided by Stefan, Mostar & Herzegovina Tour by Almir, Utopia of Yugoslavia-Tito´s Bunker-Siege of Sarajevo Tour by Adnan and a transfer tour from Sarajevo to Belgrade by Enis, who - in addition to being an excellent guide - was so gracious to pick me up at tour´s start and brought me to the doorstep of my homestay in Belgrade, giving a call to the landlady and waited until I settled. Nothing else could speak better of the trustworthiness of Funky Tours than
their not canceling this transfer tour, despite the fact that I was the only one who signed up. There were other tours that they offer and I am sure that if I go back to Sarajevo, I will certainly avail again of the excellent and reliable services of Funky Tours.

I had the pleasure of joining Funky Tours' Sutjeska National Park hiking excursion, and I had a fantastic time!

Our tour guide Tarik was very accommodating with us, ensuring that we were all comfortable and enjoying the greatest time possible, which we all did! Plus his contagious sense of humour!

Team, thank you for having us, for making sure we had plenty of food for our journey, for showing us the beauty of your country, and for everything else. 🙏🏼

This is for the Sarajevo War Tour - 4 hours around Sarajevo. Mostly its about the guide - tour was good, guide was excellent.

As soon as we got in the minibus (just 5 people) our guide Almir started talking and he told fascinating stories about the war as well as answering my 200+ questions :-) We went into the tunnels and to all the listed sights along the hills, Almir was not in a rush and took as long as it took, did a detour on request and told us personal as well as historical details . He is very well read and can explain all the main characters during the war and how it felt to be there (with personal tragedy). As we walked we discussed everything, from Dostoevsky, Alexander the Great, Bill Clinton, Paddy Ashdown, German Panzers, how to defuse a mine, James Joyce , history of Yugoslavia. I asked him how he could be so enthusiastic every day - he says its not like a job, he enjoys explaining all about Bosnia and hopes we all come back.

Outstanding. We’ve done a dozen or so tours on our European holiday and this was the best. Mustafa is an excellent storyteller who bought the siege of Sarajevo to life in an easy, conversational style. They also went above to reschedule our tour at late notice after a member of our party fell ill.

I had the pleasure of completing the Total Herzegovina tour from Sarajevo to Dubrovnik. My guide Merima and driver Arif were exceptional. They were both friendly and easy to get on with, which made the day enjoyable and comfortable.Their English was perfect. They both had lots of knowledge and information that they shared with me and were also interested to hear my story. We stopped at Blagaj, Počitelj, Kravice Waterfalls, Konjic and Jablanica. The waterfalls were amazing and there are lots of opportunities for some great photos. I would definitely use Funky Tours again as they have so many interesting tours available. My tour was a full day, 10 hours and I couldnt have spent the day with anyone better than Merima and Arif. Thank you to you both for a wonderful day.

I booked a transfer tour from Dubrovnik to Sarajevo for my parents. My parents were absolutely delighted at how knowledgable the guides were and how organised the tour was. The bonus point was that they was no other booking that day so it was just the two of them and it felt like a private tour. The tour made around 6 stops and each stop was picturesque and exceeded their expectations. They would highly recommended this tour! This is the best way to get from Dubrovnik to Sarajevo as you don’t need to plan anything and just sit in the car. The guides will take you to all the important spots and locations during the journey.

I worked with Ema from Funky Tours over the course of several weeks to plan a tailor-made family holiday to the Balkans. We were uncertain as to the itinerary and Ema was very helpful with suggestions and very knowledgeable and flexible. His communication was timely, he answered my myriad of questions and I always felt he cared about making our trip special. Due to changing circumstances we were unable to go ahead with the booking, but I would feel very comfortable booking with Funky Tours based on the professionalism and customer service I received beforehand.

We took part in the day-tour „Understanding the Genocid in Srebrenica“ and we are deeply moved from the whole day. Already during the journey to the memorial our guide gave us a lot of information about the history and political situation of Bosnien-Herzegowina. Because of his own biography his report was very descriptive and touching.

In combination with the visit of the Memorial itself we learnt a lot about the recent terrible war.
After the various inputs it was a pleasure that we could have lunch with a bosnian family.

We highly recommend the tour to everybody, who visits Sarajevo.

My husband and I always wanted to visit Bosnia, and booked the full day Saravajero tour which shows us 4 cities and Mostar. The trip was fabulous and so comfortable. From the point of booking the tour and receiving confirmation from Ema and meeting our Guide Enis, it was so easy and effortless. I have travelled all over Europe and have to say Bosnia &Herzegovina is a hidden gem. The tour was amazing, Enis took the time to explain each places history and showed us all the places, he was very knowledgeable and really took care of us. We will definitely come back again to visit and book other tours with Funky tours, they are really amazing👏

We are forever grateful, better educated, and forever changed by our 2-day journey from Belgrade to Sarajevo with Adnan G and Elvir from Funky Tours. Funky Tours mission is to share the beautiful and special country of Bosnia and Herzegovina, within the Balkan landscape, and to break prejudice in the best possible ways. They succeed at this work at a time when it is more important than ever. Adnan’s depth of knowledge, willingness to engage in deeply human and generous discussion allowed for the best kind of learning and connecting as we visited Srebrenica. We will return to Sarajevo - a truly multi-cultural city that is recognizable as a community, and Funky Tours. If you have an opportunity to learn and tour with these amazing people, do it!

I did 3 day trips and a free walking tour with Funky Tours in September 2022. This company is fantastic - the perfect combination of friendly, knowledgeable staff and a really professional and well-organised office. These guys made me feel like I had true friends in Sarajevo - I have no doubt that I could have called into the office with literally any query or issue and would have been warmly welcomed :)

Most importantly, every tour was an experience I’ll remember forever. Each one was very thoughtfully put together and well organised, packed with beautiful landscapes, famous sights, stories, and fun adventures. The tour guides (I had three in total) were all wonderful people, with genuine love for sharing their amazing country and their own personal stories. They were also very skilled at gauging the interests of each group/individual, and tailoring activities to suit them.

I honestly can’t say enough good things about Funky Tours. I can’t wait to go back to Bosnia and will definitely be booking some more tours with these guys :)

I did a tour with FunkyTours in 2019. The reception was flexible and very friendly. Moreover, the tours were well organized and well structured. One of the best tours I've been on- and that's only based on the way it was organized. The topics in Bosnia are another chapter, and if you're there, you are interested in them.

Did the Sarajevo Siege Tour.
4 hours of learning a lot on this event by a guide that experienced it first hand. Very interesting and something that should be remembered!

Choosing Funky Tours was one of the best decisions I made on my visit to Bosnia. It was my first time visiting Bosnia so I wanted to learn about the history of the country, explore the landscape, and meet local people. I was able to accomplish all of this with Funky Tours and more! They have the most amazing staff - everyone was suuuuper friendly, helpful, and wonderful! I required some flexibility with my schedule and Funky Tours was very kind, accommodating, and flexible to help me find what I needed.

We took the Sarajevo Siege tour and the Srebrenica tour. Both tours were very informative, authentic, moving experiences. On the Sarajevo Siege tour, we went to multiple different sites around Sarajevo that really make you understand the situation during the Siege. On the Srebrenica tour we went to the Museum, the Memorial, and saw other locations of importance in the area. The highlight of the tour was the Lunch we had with survivors of the Genocide. It was an incredible, moving, beautiful experience!

Our tour guide Almir was better than we could have imagined! He is kind, open, knowledgeable, well-spoken, funny, and personable - a very likeable person to guide you through the tragically beautiful history of Bosnia.

Bosnia is a beautiful country to visit and FunkyTours will give you the complete experience of everything Bosnia has to offer (food, nature, scenery, people, etc) with the loveliest service.

We had an incredible experience in Montenegro with Funky Tours. We did a one day tour to Lovcen, Cetinje, Lipa, Skaddar as advertised on their website and also a custom tour of Durmitor, Tara, Moraca and Biogradska.
Before arriving in the country they were very helpful with booking everything and customising the tours so we could see what we wanted and allowing pickup and drop off in different locations.
Both tours were busy full days with a great mix of activities from national parks, lakes, viewpoints, caves, river boat cruise, food tasting, monasteries, canyons, bridges, zip lining - everything this country has to offer. Skender, Ana and Slavko as tour guides were all a great balance of fun and informative and we learnt a lot about the countries rich history and the areas that we visited. As a group we all had different highlights of the trip which just shows how great each and every bit of what Funky Tours offers is and that Montenegro is definitely worth visiting as a country.
The price was more than reasonable for seeing the whole country and catering to custom requirements. Its definitely worth paying for the private tours compared to larger group ones that are offered. We've been inspired to see more of the area like Bosnia/Serbia/Croatia and will definitely be using Funky Tours again, would highly recommend!

I was a solo traveler on the East Bosnia and West Serbia tour. Nadira from the office made a lot of effort (1 week before the tour) to help me plan my journey to Belgrade safely although this trip was not a one way tour. Extremely sweet and kind person. The trip itself was amazing. Adnan my tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Our tour drivers Senad (in Bosnia) and Jasmin (in Serbia) was such wonderful guys and safe drivers. Driving thru the roads there safely is a big task as we have to pass thru mountains and valleys in winding roads. Safety was their main priority. Definitely value for money.

Going on a tour with Funky Tours (with Adnan our guide and Senat our driver) was just beyond perfect. Right from the beginning we got on so well and we (2 girls) felt safe and welcome. We had so much fun on our 12hour-"East Bosnia & West Serbia Off the beaten path tour" from Sarajevo to Visegrad, Dobrun Monastery, Sargan Eight and Tara Nationalpark etc. (tour incl. UNESCO World Heritage Sites).
(my personal highlight was the train ride and the Nationalpark - just WOW!)
The communication with the agency and the booking process was just perfect, fast and very very friendly.
Adnan and Senat are super nice, entertaining and we learned so much about the history of the 2 countries we've visited.
If you visit Sarajevo, please book a tour with Funky Tours! They are the perfect tour agency.
Let me say one word about Sarajevo and the parts of Bosnia we were lucky to visit: it's such a welcoming and warm country, people were so friendly and attentive.
