We had the most extraordinary experience and time during our 8 day private tour with our various Funky Tour guides. We not only learned so much, we also shared fun laughs and stories with our guides. Our travels thru Bosnia was the highlight for us. Delving into the history of the country and how Bosnia has made such extraordinary strides and progress in the last 30 years. However the true gifts are Bosnia’s exquisite people and their love and devotion to their country. Sharing their individual stories and their commitment to bring their story to the world to hopefully prevent that horror from ever happening again in our world. Had the best 4 days with Almir as our driver and guide from Bosnia thru Montenegro and into Albania. What a magnificent person he is. Have already told many people what a great company Funky Tours is and will continue to share our thoughts and enthusiasm with anyone looking to spend time in the Balkans.

Booked a transfer to Sarajevo from Split with a stop in Mostar. Our driver was personable and a very safe driver. He stopped us at a local place along the way when we asked about the best boureks. They were delicious! We were delighted to find a private guide waiting for us in Mostar. Had a very interesting tour before going on to Sarajevo. Will definitely use Funky Tours again if we find ourselves in the Balkans again.

What a wonderful 12 day journey through the Balkans The trip was beautifully curated and we chose it as we liked itinerary. All our hotels were good.Some were located in the heart of the town, while others were easy to navigate from and also the operators were helpful with any pickups required. The hotel in Dubrovnik was superb First thanks to Diona and Ajla for replying to all our questions on email and WhatsApp. Big thanks and a huge shoutout toTarik Colo, our guide for 12 days Tarik’s energy, smile ,patience,knowledge made the trip very informative. Tarik was kind and considerate and kept in mind the whole group’s requirements and requests. Thanks to Nermin for navigating all the narrow mountain roads safely Travelling in these countries and listening to their recent histories, seeing towns and villages off the normal touristy paths was a very wonderful experience. Date of experience: September 2026

Just finished a wonderful trip through the Balkans with a company called “Funky tours”; visited Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Albania over a course of 16 nights/15 days. Total of 12 people in the group, 6 of whom stayed for the entire length of the trip while the others joined a little later and left earlier. We ended up visiting some beautiful sites in all 5 countries, which I had no idea even existed, like the Bled lake, Plitvice lakes and the Postojna cave in Slovenia, the gorgeous waterfront in Split, Croatia, the beautiful old city in Dubrovnik. Also, the incredible Adriatic coastline and magnificent scenery in Perast, Montenegro; the beautiful UNESCO heritage site in Berat and the wonderful city of Tirana, Albania. And last, but not the least, the city of Sarajevo and its surroundings, the picturesque town of Konjic on the way to the old city of Mostar. The trip though rather hectic, was well organized and we saw a lot of places. Our tour leader Robert was a wonderful, friendly and extremely knowledgeable individual who knew pretty much everything about everything in the Balkans and answered almost every question that was asked over a 15 day period in great detail. If there was a department of Balkan tourism at a local university, he probably would be Professor and Chairman! We traveled in a spacious, air conditioned bus driven by a very friendly, expert driver named Dado, who managed to squeeze out of super tight spots on extremely narrow roads with hardly an inch to spare, without the slightest damage to the bus. A few minor negatives: some of the drives were rather long, but I suppose one has to make an effort to see something spectacular, and the destination makes the journey worthwhile. I would rather the daily trips start at 9 in the morning instead of 7:30 or 8; pit stops should be scheduled approximately every two hours instead of someone having to ask embarrassingly to please stop because they are getting very uncomfortable. The hotels were decent, some well situated in the center of the city; resort in Dubrovnik had phenomenal views. All in all, it was an excellent trip, worth the price. Sent from my iPhone

My husband and I took Funky Tours’ 12-Day Zagreb to Kotor Tour in September 2026, and our experience was excellent. Funky Tours handled the transportation, hotels, admissions, and some group meals, while our guide, Robert, stayed with our 10-member group throughout the trip. He was knowledgeable, personable, and entertaining, and he used the driving time to explain the history and everyday life of the Balkans. Our driver, Dado, also did an excellent job navigating mountain roads and border crossings. The organization during the trip was excellent. Everything went as planned, the pace was comfortable without feeling slow, and the 4-star hotels were in good locations with excellent breakfasts. We also appreciated having free time in the cities and one completely free day. One thing worth knowing before booking is that Funky Tours doesn’t provide as much big-company paperwork ahead of time as I was accustomed to. However, this turned out not to be a problem at all. They are a small team of real people working in their Sarajevo office, and communication during the trip was excellent. We used email and WhatsApp to communicate. The tour involved a fair amount of walking—about 4–5 miles a day, including some uneven paths and plenty of stairs. We felt very safe throughout the trip and felt that we received good value for the cost. We would definitely travel with Funky Tours again.

I am so happy I booked with Funky Tours! The Jewels of Bosnia tour exceeded my expectations. I feel like I learned, saw, and experienced more than I could’ve asked for. All communication with Amela and Ajla in the office was prompt and courteous. I was also very pleased with the guides. They were all very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They made sure everyone in the group was doing well and answered all questions that we had. It felt like having a friend show you around. I also appreciated the frankness of each tour guide. They were willing to discuss difficult topics and respectfully shared their opinions and experiences, which really added to the tour. I truly enjoyed every day of the tour and I will absolutely book with Funky Tours for my next trip to the Balkans.

SO GOOD! Funky Tours made our short trip to Sarajevo and Mostar so memorable, and I came away with so much insight into Bosnia's culture, history and vibe. Our guide - Samir - was an incredible fount of knowledge, and handled tricky questions about the country's politics and history with ease and honesty. He also has a great sene of dry humour! He was patient and cool-headed with grumpy tour-members, random storms, and road detours alike! Very much felt we were in safe hands all the way. We also never felt rushed between stops - we were a small group and so were able to set a pace that suited us. Highly, highly recommend both the half-day Siege tour, and the 1 day Four Cities tour down to Mostar (which we used as a transfer on to Croatia). Funky Tours has a very friendly, helpful and efficient office staff too - responsive to last-minute scheduling, ready with useful suggestions, and they seem like a tight-knit and friendly organisation. Office is easy to find, on the edge of Old Town. We booked about 7-10 days in advance, with no issues. I reckon you could probably pop in on the day and they would hook you up with something fun for the next day, but they also take bookings far in advance for those who are more organised than me :D

My wife and I recently returned from Funky Tours Best of the Balkans tour. It was a fascinating couple of weeks and overall an informative and enjoyable experience. For most of the tour, our group consisted of nine well traveled people, ranging in age from mid-30s to early 70s. All of us were from either the US or Australia and the tour was conducted in English. A perk was that we were all prompt to show up at the appointed times and generally got along very well. Given the amount of time spent in a small bus and the general pace of the tour, that helped make it all work well. This tour is not a good replacement for a cruise. The hotels were all fine, in good neighborhoods and with good breakfasts, but there was little downtime, considerable walking required, and some very long days of travel. Aside from our first night in Ljubljana where we had booked an extra night, we never stayed at a hotel for more than two nights. Communication with the Funky Tours office was excellent and the cost of the trip was very reasonable given the number of places we visited. Funky Tours provided airport transfers on both ends of the trip and paid entrance fees into the places we visited, with a couple of optional exceptions. The tour included a nice mix of city walking tours, national parks, site seeing and history lessons. All of the tour guides were excellent. The best highlights of the trip include the Postojna Cave and Vintgar Gorge in Slovenia, Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia, many beautiful mountain vistas in Bosnia, Montenegro, and Albania, and the ancient coastal cities along the Adriatic. We also received several thorough tours in and around Sarajevo, perhaps the most interesting city of the tour. We now have a much better understanding of the very complicated history of this region as well as an appreciation of the natural beauty and cultural attractions. If you want to get a real sense of the region by being immersed among the people who live there, it's hard to imagine a better opportunity.
