We enjoyed this tour despite the pouring down rain. The tunnel under the airport and our guide’s true life stories were the highlights. We would recommend.

Incredible Tour
carolynh845, October 2026
We have now returned from our wonderful trip to Sarajevo and cannot thank Funky Tours enough for organising our amazing Sarajevo Total Siege Tour. Our guide, Mustafa was so incredibly knowledgeable and hearing his real life stories of life during the siege really brought history alive. My husband was here with UN Forces at the start of the war so Mustafa’s accounts were particularly poignant and meaningful for him. We also cant thank Mustafa enough for taking us to Hill 655, although it wasn’t a usual stop on the tour. This place is especially important to my husband and he really couldn’t imagine going to Sarajevo and not playing it one last visit. It was so very humbling that Funky Tours recognised the significance of this for him and made sure he got there. We cannot recommend Funky Tours and Mustafa enough for making this very special visit to Sarajevo even more special with all their care and attention. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Amazing tour
muneera_p, August 2026
Amazing tour, one of the best tours we’ve ever done. Our guide Adnan did a great job. He explained some of the history and politics of Bosnia & told us about his experience of the war. We did this tour on our first full day in Bosnia and it gave us a really good understanding of the place. Strongly recommend this tour.
