Funky Tours レビュー 

My son and I enjoyed 2 excursions with Funky Tours during a recent visit to Sarajevo. The office staff were great in confirming the tour details and did not request advance payment. The tours themselves were very full and led by 2 fantastic guides who explained everything very clearly and were very keen to provide maximum enjoyment to their guests. I have been on hundreds of such trips throughout the world, and I consider these 2 to be right up there (otherwise I wouldn't bother to write a review).

We had a lovely time with Funky Tours. Our guide was great, really knowledgeable about each of the places we visited, and gave us time to have an explore ourselves too. We had had food poisoning the day before and we very worried as we were still feeling poorly but our guide was great - he looked after us and made sure we had plenty of stops etc. Each of the stops along the trip were great and really interesting and the resturant we visited for lunch was in a beautiful location- we just wished we had felt a bit better so we could have enjoyed the food!
It was also great to get dropped at our place of stay in Dubrovnik and that saved a lot of stress at the end of a long day

Incredible service received from Ema and crew at Funky Tours. My two boys (15 and 12) and I, booked on their Catamaran for three nights, touring around Kornati and Krka national parks, stopping at some fantastic destinations along the way. The trip couldn't have been organised better, the food was superb and the local insights charmed us. If you want to experience the beautiful country of Croatia in a unique way, choose Funky Tours 👌🇭🇷♥️

I booked 3 tours with Funky Tours prior to my arrival in Sarajevo.

Really pleased with their service. The back office staff are very efficient. They responded to my emails promptly and were able to organise everything for me quickly. Credit to Edna, Emir, and Amela for being so efficient. On my first day, I visited the office to make the payment. I was greeted by Emir and Amela, who were incredibly helpful with their tips on local travel, taxi arrangements, collecting train tickets, and local food recommendations.

During the 3 tours, I met tour guides Salem, Amar, and Mustafa. They were all extremely professional and happily accommodated my requests to ensure that my young children were comfortable and well taken care of during our full-day tours.

We took the Srebrenica tour with Salem. He was extremely helpful and has an in-depth knowledge of the war history. He made sure that my family and I were comfortable on what was a very hot day.

We took the Travnik, Jajce, and Pliva Lakes tour with Amar. He is a natural problem solver with the ability to find solutions quickly. He was happy to answer all my questions and helped me with a couple of other things as well.

Finally, we took the half-day Sarajevo Total Siege tour with Mustafa. Once again, Mustafa was very professional, providing detailed accounts of the days he and his family lived through during the siege. He articulated his personal experiences in a highly professional manner.

Each of these individuals is an asset to Funky Tours Sarajevo. It is evident that under Ema's leadership, they function as a cohesive team, helping travellers like my family and me leave with such positive and cherished memories of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Highly recommended.

Catamaran sailing tour in Croatia
Jul 2024
We did a three night four-day catamaran sailing cruise in Croatia. The Crew, the destinations, the food, and the overall experience was completely awesome! Our crew Ema, Edna and Mislav were excellent! Highly recommended, Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy this area of the world with Funky Tours!

Funky Tours was outstanding. Website provided so much inspiration that we decided to visit Sarajevo for one and a half weeks (instead of just for the weekend). Pre-arrival their bookings team organised an online meeting so we could talk through different options & arrange a schedule.

Sarajevo is full of remarkable history & culture so take Funky Tours Free Walking Tour of the City. There are others you can do including Jewish History Tour & World War 1 Tour if you are interested in this. We also took the Siege of Sarajevo Tour and learnt lots about the terrible event that took place in the 90’s.

Don’t just stay in the City though. Take some tours to other places as well. We paid our respects to the victims of the Srebrenica genocide, learning lots about NATO during the excursion. Hiking with spectacular views around Lukomir. Historically interesting trip to Jacje & Travnik where we visited one of the key assembly halls where Tito founded former Yogoslavia & saw spectacular waterfalls. Also did the transfer day tour to Dubrovnik where we finished our holiday - this transfer tour was outstanding as we learnt so much more and visited some impressive sites including Mostar Bridge, Konjic Historic Town, beautiful springs & the most incredible waterfalls to swim at - Kravica Falls.

All of the guides were outstanding, really friendly & exceptionally knowledgeable. We learnt so much from them & they were all inspirational characters which is evident by the fact that we ended up buying on line several books to further enrich our understanding of the history in the region.

Top Tip: speak with Funky Tours before you book your flights. That way you can work out how long to stay in Sarajevo. Lots of other things we wish we would have had time to do including White Water Rafting , Quad Biking +++

And allow enough time in Sarajevo to visit the many museums, take the cable car for views & hikes, & just generally chill in this incredibly friendly city.

The Funky Tours team provided us with a great experience on several fronts. We took 2 tours with them:
1. The bus tour from Sarajevo to Dubrovnik was very informative, interesting, and enjoyable with nice stops along the way -the driver was quite pleasant and attentive to our needs.
2. The sailing trip out of Tribunj marina was amazing, awesome, excellent!! Alem and the team were perfect hosts. They made sure our needs were met and exceeded. They personalised the trip as they got to know our style of travelling (it was not a cookie-cutter tourist experience).
The sailing trip is highly recommended. The boat was beautiful and well maintained. It was quite comfortable on-board and we had full access to snacks and drinks at all times. The locations visited and the whole Island boating experience was sublime. Swimming at numerous choice spots was perfect, the food served was great, and the restaurant stops were just wonderful. We are appreciative of the family -business touch and the attentiveness Alem, Danira and team showed us. We would go on this trip again, it was memorable and so worth it.

I'm honest about it, it's probably the best proposition on the market you can find.

We booked a family vacation with a small group on catamaran in June 2024 in Croatia & I loved every second of it.

The tour was great & thought through. Thanks to a careful planning, we were able to avoid crowds when we went on a shore to explore the city or to see a national park. We saw beautiful island small towns, swimmed in clear waters a lot, visited Krka national park (an absolute must see if you're in Croatia, it's a magical place), tasted local oysters & enjoyed local foods. Thanks for that tour we saw in 4 days much more than we could have if we stayed on a shore.

Everything was covered in the price, including marina fees, gas, snorkeling gear, and paddle boards. Breakfasts and lunches were also provided. This all-inclusive aspect gave me the peace of mind I wanted for my vacation, eliminating worries about extra expenses.

But more importantly was our group & our lovely hosts. I couldn't wish for a better company for a several-days trip.

Skender tended to all our requests & questions, shared a lot of interesting stories & cooked absolutely delicious meals.

Our small company of tourists was perfectly matched: nobody smoked, no loud partying, it was perfectly comfortable trip for all of us despite coming from different countries & backgrounds. We spent a couple of lovely evenings chatting, sharing stories & never feeling uncomfortable in another's company.

Staying on the boat was surprisingly comfortable, we had quite a lot of space in our rooms, plus a lot of nooks & hidden compartments to hide your stuff & all rooms come with a bathroom. I shared a room with another lady (since it was 3 of us travelling & I had to share room with someone) and we completely comfortable, having enough space for our stuff & never inconvenienced one another.

Overall, I totally recommend chosing this company, you won't regret it.

A truly amazing adventure sailing with Funky Tours . A special way to travel and experience Croatia,
The itinerary allowed us the opportunity to visit areas away from the crowds. Swimming peacefully in
clear blue waters anchored to a buoy .Enjoying a delicious lunch spread afterwards on the boat. Staying
In small harbors with access to National Parks.
Skender was an excellent host. Giving us recommendations about restaurants and local cuisine to try.
Providing our group information about what to see as we explored various towns and islands. We had numerous opportunities for side trips. I enjoyed meeting the local people on the trips. Sharing their passion about food,plants, flowers and their lifes on the islands. Our captain Mislav was not only an
excellent captain, but he also had so much information about Croatia. He was so friendly and helpful.
The trip provided the small group experience I wanted. A good price for a quality experience.
Communication was excellent before the trip. Questions were answered in a timely manner. Emma was
Extremely helpful.
I am definitely planning on sailing with Funky Tours again.I absolutely loved the trip.

Amazing experience. Everything has been just perfect: the team is great, they're super nice, helpful, experienced. Skender is a fabulous cook, cheerful, very attentive to every single detail and with a remarkable knowledge of Balkan's area and history. Tony has been a friendly and reliable skipper, always with a smile and a hand to offer. Places, well..wonderful... Couldn't ask for more. Absolutely worthy. Beyond any expectation.

This company is gold! I had a very nice and prompt communication with Amela while arranging the trip to Mostar and 4 cities. Just want to say a huge thank you! We had a great time. Our guide Stefan (hopefully spelled right!) was great and we loved doing the tour as a small group. It was very relaxed and we saw a lot. Good value for money too.

We spent 4 unforgettable days sailing through the Šibenik archipelago in Croatia on the Adriatic Sea. The organization of the trip was perfect, thanks to the Funky Tours agency.

We live in Chicago, we landed at the Split airport, where we were met by an organized transport that took us to Tribunj. A spacious 14-meter catamaran with a skipper and a hostess was waiting for us there.

During 4 days we visited many locations - Kakan Island, Skradin City, Krka National Park, Šibenik City, Prvić Island, Zlarin Island, Žirje Island, Smokvica Island and the beautiful Kornati National Park.

Every day we enjoyed excellent food - clams, octopus under the oven, fish, Skradin risotto, Skradin cake and much more. We also had excellent meals on the catamaran thanks to our hostess who prepared delicious breakfasts and lunches for us.

We sailed every day and stopped several times to enjoy swimming in beautiful bays.

If you are looking for an unforgettable experience, Funky Tours is the right choice.

Thank you for an amazing adventure!

I did two tours with funky tours and both of them were amazing. The first tour was the one from Belgrade to Sarajevo. We stopped at so many interesting places and our guide Enis was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was only me and one other person so it was basically a private transfer and totally worth the money since we got to see so many beautiful places in west Bosnia and east Serbia. The other tour I did was the war tour from Sarajevo and I can only recommend to do this tour to understand the sad history of this beautiful country more. Our guide Almir was also very kind and explained the history very well to us. I learned a lot on this tour and it was very interesting. We also visited the bobsleigh of the Olympic Games from 1984 and a viewpoint which was cool. Furthermore, the email contact of funky tours was always very fast, helpful and friendly. :)

I have used Funky Tours twice for tours in the Balkans. Our most recent visit was a customized tour focused on WW1 sites. Funky Tours does excellent preplanned tours but don’t hesitate to contact Ema for customized tours. I provided a list of what we were interested in and Ema was able to design a tour for us. Stefan was our primary tour guide this trip. He provided a warm welcome and made sure all our needs were met. I recommend Funky Tours for all your Balkan needs.

I did two tours with Funky Tours (the Belgrade to Sarajevo transfer and the Mostar & Four Cities with Kravica waterfall tours) in Feb 2024 and enjoyed both of them very much. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and put the comfort and experience of the group first. Nothing felt rushed and it was a great way to see lots of different places within a day. I also want to thank Ema and Edna for their quick responses on all days of the week over email, and for their personalised assistance that really made the difference. It was the best customer service I’ve experienced with any tour company.

Our family enjoyed an extraordinary vacation with Funky Tours along the stunning Adriatic coast this year. Our adventure began in the charming city of Tribunj, leading us through captivating islands like Zlarin and Zmajan, culminating in the awe-inspiring national park, Kornati. The experience immersed in nature was genuinely exceptional, featuring crystal-clear waters and breathtaking views that have left an enduring impression on our memories. The journey was incredibly serene and thoroughly delightful, allowing us to witness some of the most captivating sunsets and even catch sight of dolphins in the morning.

Funky Tours played a pivotal role in ensuring our experience was seamless and unforgettable. They efficiently coordinated our transfer to the port. They provided a highly skilled skipper who navigated us to remarkable destinations and acquainted us with some of the most splendid bays along the way. The local restaurants we explored were delightful, offering delectable fish and enhancing our immersion in the authentic coastal experience. Most importantly, our family discovered an entirely new and enriching way of vacationing, courtesy of Funky Tours.

We sincerely thank Funky Tours for orchestrating this incredible journey, planning all these wonderful locations to visit and creating memories that will undoubtedly last a lifetime. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking a similarly enriching and unforgettable experience!

Odyssey in real sense of the way! A pleasent one!
October 2023
We did 3-day Croatian odyssey in October and what a än experience it was!
From the moment we boarded on a catamaran till the moment we dissembarked it was all senses experience.
And you get your bangs for buck since it was reasonably priced as well!
Only the weather on day 3 was not cooperating, but we are Swedes, bad weather is a constant here:).
A pro tip:
Barbecue is an extra, so my advice is to take it as it is a special feeling being docked to a bouey and grilling some fish at 11PM.

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.
