Travnik, Jajce & Pliva Lakes with Central Bosnia – Full Day Tour from Sarajevo

A fascinating and thought provoking journey to a part of Europe tourists seldom see

I had worked in this area immediately after the war in the the 1990s and was really keen to see what had happened since.

The tour was very well organised and our guide Anwar was excellent. The tour gave us an insight into a beautiful and fascinating part of Europe that tourists seldom see. Travnik and Jace were gorgeous. Scrambling up the citadel tower in Travnik for amazing views, exporing the lovely waterfalls in Jace, the stunning Vrbas Canyon (Grand Canyon move over..) were a privilege to see.

It was good to see what was happening in Banja Luka where we had an excllent local guide. Funky Tours had included a night in the central Hotel Ideja here which was fine and we had time to explore the city a bit on our own which was great.

Everyone very friendly and helpful – if a bit surprised to see us! We finished at the Jasenovak Concentration Camp Memorial – a sobering remionder of uspeakable horrors.

Travel southern Bosnia

Did this transfer tour as well as several other tours with Funky Tours. It was wonderful. Got to see all sorts of things and learn much of the history of the region.

Experience Bosnia and Herzegovina with the help of Funky Tours

I’ve just come back from a really enjoyable and educational trip to Bosnia and Herzegovina arranged by the lovely people at Funky Tours. I was based in Sarajevo for the week and did a number of day trips around Bosnia and Herzegovina all arranged by Funky Tours. The guides on the trips were all very friendly and informative and many of them had lived through and served in the war in the 90s and had very interesting life stories.

The girls in the office were very efficient and fun and put together my itinerary and communicated very well throughout. The tour buses provided were comfortable and everything ran to time. Sarajevo is an incredible city full of soul, vibrancy and resilience.

Do yourself a favour and go and visit the city and take the opportunity to travel around this very beautiful country.

If you enjoy places with history, scenery and cultural contrast you will enjoy it no end. It’s often the case that the friendliness and warmth of the people make a visit to a country extra memorable and that was certainly the case with my visit to Bosnia. If you are thinking of going have a chat with the guys at Funky Tours and I’m sure they will go out of their way to help you.

Everything was perfect. Special thanks to Adnan and Amela. My tour was amazing. The tour guide, Adnan is the best. I learned a lot.

Funky Tours, Sarajevo

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.
