6 months agoWe took an afternoon siege tour of Sarajevo with Mustafa which gave an insightful overview of life during the conflict. We also took a day transfer tour from Sarajevo to Dubrovnik. It was a long day but an amazing way to transfer between the 2 destinations on our trip. Even better was that it turned out to be just mum and I so we could set our own schedule. The sights along the way were stunning. Alja was an excellent driver, guide and good company throughout the day. Would 100% recommend funky tours. Excellent communication and a fantastic tour company! Thank you

4 weeks agoOur group of 16 attended the half day Sarajevo war tour and were fortunate to have Adnan as our guide; a veteran of the war who was able to provide exceptional insight into the events. A comfortable minibus was included to transport us to various locations which included the Tunnel of Hope, Winter Olympics site and Jewish Cemetery in addition to many other locations in and out of the city. Don't miss this opportunity to learn and we recommend that you ask for Adnan.

a week agoThe booking process with Edna was a breeze, and it was a privilege to do the 4 cities tour with Almir as my guide. The places we went were spectacular; you're likely to get that with every tour company, but what made this tour special was Almir's lived experience and vast knowledge about Bosnia and Herzegovina. I also learnt more about Islam from him than from my travels in Turkey, Jordan, Egypt and Morocco. He didn't regurgitate information from Wikipedia, but instead shared local stories, including his own experience of war. He shared a message his mother gave him, and it's something that will stay with me and that I, as a teacher, will share with my students: "The book of your life isn't finished yet. You can choose how it goes from here." I choose adventure. I choose more tours like this that allow me to meet locals and share our stories. As it says in Sarajevo old town, the meeting of cultures. Oh, and he has good taste in music. Thank you Almir & Funky Tours!

3 months agoSailed around the Kornati Islands with the amazing crew from Funky Tours and had a blast. We stayed in the Sali Marine and visited some nice restaurants and bars along the route. Our skiper was very skillful and knowledgable about the area and its historical meaning. We also did a small hiking tour in the Nature park Telašćica a saw the wonderful Cliffs of Dugi otok. Would very much recommend. Very professionally organized and worth visiting.

in the last weekthe Sarajevo war tour is a must for travellers and history enthusiasts wanting to explore the city in a way museums cannot. Almir’s first hand account as a veteran really emphasises the hardship and brutality of such atrocities. The best tour I’ve done and a truly unforgettable experience. Not only will you learn about the Seige of Sarajevo but a great deal about former Yugoslavia from the first and Second World War and onwards. pickup and ticket fees included and the most fantastic guide. thank you Amir 🇧🇦
