Funky Tours arranged several excellent tours while I was based in Bosnia (one or two which were free of charge) between October 2020 and March 2021. This included a food and drink tasting tour, the siege of Sarajevo tour, a day trip to Jajce and Travnik, a day trip to the Srebrenica genocide memorial centre, as well as one to Herzegovina which included stops in Mostar, Medugorje and Pocitelj. Each tour was outstanding and the tour guides, having lived through the events you learn about on the tours, are fascinating people to spend a day with (a big thanks in particular to Taib). I learned so much about Bosnia, past and present, from them.    Booking the tours was always made easy and they even arranged a customised tour of the famous Sarajevo City Hall which included a visit to a replica ICTY courtroom (a big thanks in particular to Ema). I learned so much about Bosnia on each tour - from what it was like living through the war to finding out about the Bosnia of today.  Even although some of the events they cover are difficult for a visitor to comprehend (partly because the country has been largely rebuilt), you come away from it realising how relevant Bosnia's history is to the world we live in today. I was lucky enough to see first hand so many of the great things about the country - its diverse landscapes and stunning views across several towns and cities (especially Sarajevo), how much the country has been rebuilt in the last 20 years (it would not be fair to class Bosnia as 'war torn' any longer), the wonderful mix of architecture and traditions, its excellent local cuisine and of course the down to earth and wonderfully hospitable Bosnian people who are always welcoming of visitors. Bosnians are rightfully keen to show that their country has so much more to it than the war that ended there more than 25 years ago. Having been on several tours I feel like I am just about an expert on all things Bosnia and Herzegovina. I absolutely recommend Funky Tours - in fact I cannot recommend them highly enough. Bosnia is a great country to explore and because of its offering which includes Olympic ski slopes near Sarajevo and vineyards in Herzegovina it can be considered as both a winter and summer destination. The main thing is to make sure you go there at some point - and use Funky Tours to show you around! (the tours I went on were always carried out within covid restrictions, in a small group or one to one)

I had a hard time finding a group tour for the Iron Gate so I was happy to find this group tour! I initially booked the Cruising the Iron Gate tour through a website for a company called Serbian Adventures, but it was actually run by Magelan Travel. I found the meeting point in the morning a bit tricky to find (meet at the bus stop across from the skate park). As best I could tell, I was one of only a few non-locals, but the guide did provide the information in both English and Serbian and it added a bit of adventure to the day! I really enjoyed the fortress (it's a few extra Euros to access the towers) and enjoyed the cruise along the Danube. The lunch stop was also a really lovely surprise! While it was a long day, all in all it was a great way to see a lot of lovely sights in one day.

My partner and I went on a one day hike with Miroslav up Zjleb and it was one of our favourite days in Bosnia and Herzegovina so far. We felt instantly comfortable with Miroslav who is easy-going, talkative, and funny - and between chats, paused with us to enjoy the quiet majesty of nature. As two novice hikers we felt in very safe hands and completely accommodated for. The walk was moderately tough on the way up, but along the way we stopped for fresh mountain spring water, and were greeted with stunning views at the top. Miroslav prepared some delicious packed lunches with hot coffee and home-smoked meat. Over lunch, he shared some fascinating insights into his life and history that made us feel a lot more enlightened about him and his home country. Because we didn’t go as far as he had planned (partly due to our sub-par footwear!), he insisted on taking us to the new sky walk, with beautiful vistas over Mostar, to enjoy a beer. He went above and beyond to make it a wonderful day and we had the most amazing time. Thank you Miroslav and we would highly recommend anyone to book a tour with Herzegovina Hiking!

7. Six Days in Breathtaking Bosnia and Herzegovina

NowBosnia

Situated at the heart of the Balkan Peninsula, Bosnia and Herzegovina encompasses both Mediterranean and Alpine climates, landscapes and henceforth some of the richest flora and fauna found in Europe. Much of Bosnia and Herzegovina is mountainous. The long chain of the Southern Alps – the Dinaric Alps - stretches from northwest Slovenia through the heart of Bosnia and Herzegovina and into Montenegro, and finishes in the Prokletija Mountains on the Albanian border. Herzegovina hosts the highest and wildest part of this mountain range, which for centuries provided the population protection from Roman invaders, and which slowed the Ottoman conquest of Bosnia. The central belt of Bosnia has both rocky mountains and green, rolling hills covered with conifer forests and lined with countless freshwater streams and rivers.
