5.00This tour provided an important and informative look at life in Sarajevo during the siege. Visiting the Tunnel of Hope was especially meaningful, and hearing the history directly from a veteran added depth and authenticity to the experience that you simply don’t get from reading or exhibits alone. My guide was professional, knowledgeable, and thoughtful in how he presented the history. The tour moved beyond the tunnel itself and included several sites around Sarajevo, which helped contextualize what daily life was like during the siege and how the city endured it. Overall, this was a meaningful and informative experience that added important context to Sarajevo’s history. Seeing the tunnel and hearing personal stories made the siege feel much more real, and the additional stops around the city helped bring that period into focus. I’m glad I took this tour and would recommend it to anyone wanting a deeper understanding of Sarajevo.
Enriching experience

5.00We loved the tour. I learned a lot and it was very enriching to learn more about the Bosnian war through a view that is not offered by history books or documentaries. We were very pleased to know the story of our guide, Salem (I’m not sure about the graphics), and we felt even more solidarity with the Bosnian people. I hope to return to Sarajevo one day and would like to do other tours with Funky Tours.
Amazing tour in Sarajevo

5.00My guide Salem was the veteran that brought me around the city. He shared a lot of incidents and stories about him as well as the city. I learned a lot from this tour, and I would not have done so if I didn’t join the tour. The weather was not so great during the tour with heavy snow, but Salem is a great driver and still brought me to the spots. Great tour overall, would highly recommend.
Well worth the trip to Sarajevo.

5.00If you want an in-depth understanding the Yugoslav wars, this is definitely the experience. I walked away with a clear understanding of a very popular conflict that I previously did not understand. Going to the places of the war helped give a real understanding of the situation. The guide is very nice and intelligent. If you are in Sarajevo, you must go on this tour.
Really Interesting And Well Organized

5.00There were a bunch of different options to choose from in terms of war tours and I'm so glad we went with this one. The small group made it possible for our guide to answer all our many, many questions -- he was super informative about the locations we were visiting as well as geopolitical details we wanted to know about. I would definitely recommend this particular tour for anyone looking for a more education trip with a really great guide.

5.00Fantastic morning war tour of Sarajevo. We were lucky enough to have Enes as our tour guide, who had so much knowledge to share. He made everything fascinating, with his passion and humour. Ended the tour with a shared beer with our guide and brief friend. 😀
Very interesting tour

5.00The tour was very interesting and informative. Our veteran guide shared powerful stories about the war, the Olympic Games, and his own personal experiences. We visited key locations of the attacks. I recommend it to everybody.

5.00I thought the tour was fantastic, I am currently travelling Europe and have been on lots of different tours but this is by far the best. The guide Mustafa was amazing I had really good conversations about the history and how people felt and helped my understand it from the perspective of people here compared to the western perspective. His experiences and knowledge was fantastic about Yugoslavia as a whole was fantastic
Fantastic Tour

5.00Booked this for my first day in Sarajevo and had a fantastic time. The driver picked me up from my hotel and even drove around the airport 3 times to try and find 2 other guests who eventually turned up- very good of him, I'd have given up after the first attempt! The tour was excellent, all thanks to the guide who became more like an old friend. He was enthusiastic and not scared if sharing his opinions. I learnt alot about the Bosnian war from him. The Tunnel of Peace was interesting but the stop at Trevebic Mountain was the highlight- despite terrible weather, he took us for a walk around and along the bobsleigh track with amazing views over Sarajevo. At the end of the tour, the guide offered several drop off points close to all of our hotels/accommodation. I'd thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sarajevo.
