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

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.

Trip with a child(4)

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.

Outstanding local tour excursions agency

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.
