Customer reviews.

“A very thought provoking and insightful tour with a veteran of the war, who not only witnessed the events of 1,425 days of siege, but lived and endured each one. If you want to gain a better understanding of the reasons for the war, the rationale for the siege, as well as something of what it was like for the inhabitants this is an excellent way to begin.”

“Dobbiamo dire che siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti: l’agenzia ha organizzato tutto perfettamente con prenotazione telefonica, poi le guide ci hanno trasmesso veramente lo spirito di questa città e dei suoi abitanti. I prezzi dei nostri tour ci sono sembrati molto abbordabili e proporzionati. Consigliatissimo!!!! Bravi ai ragazzi dell’agenzia Insider!!!!”

“Nous avons eu une visite passionnante grâce à Haris, dont le français est excellent ! Il est en plus très cultivé, sait intéresser son public et est ouvert à toutes vos questions, qu’elles soient d’ordre culturel, religieux ou sociétal… Un tout grand merci à Haris et à Sarajevo Insider !”

“El mejor tour que hemos hecho (y hemos hecho unos cuantos) en la vida. Medina, la guía, estuvo súper atenta de nosotros, explicándonos cada detalle con pasión y mucha ilusión. Pudimos descubrir otra parte de Sarajevo a través de sus ojos y fue increíble. Recomendable a lo 1000%!”

“Unser Guide Adi ist super herzlich und hat uns unterhaltsam durch diese bezaubernde Stadt geführt! Wir haben sehr viel interessantes und auch trauriges über Sarajevo erfahren. Wir durften auch eine Kleinigkeit essen und hatten echten Bosnischen Kaffee. Können Adi zu 100% weiter empfehlen! Tolle Tour

“We took the Eat, Pray, Love tour offered by Insider City Tours on our first day in Sarajevo; this provided an excellent introduction to the history and culture of this beautiful city, as well as some of the best food we had in the Balkans. And we were fortunate enough to have Jenny as our guide. She is a delight – she is very knowledgeable, passionate, and has a great sense of humor.”

The tour in Sarajevo wasn’t as good as I expected, mostly because the poor communication of the team members in the other tour group they work with, but the staff of Nature Trips had a good attitude and very responsive and responsible. So this rating is for the service of Nature trips ONLY.

• Coach / Bus

Croatia, Bosnia and Slovenia ( 9 days )

Scenic Slovenia & Croatia

This tour covers a lot of miles, which is great but because of this, there is no time left to fully explore each destination. Any advertised “free time” is very short & limited. I feel that the advertised “8 days” could be better used, because in fact....the tour is only 6 days, day 1 & day 8 are nothing except 1 meal. While the dates suited our trip & our travel itinerary, I doubt I would have booked this tour for any other reason, it is only a quick “taster” of The Balkans.

What people love about Sarajevo Tours

I have been on this tour with Meet Bosnia Travel and I don't regret it at all even though I was traveling alone. This trip was just amazing thanks to the great guides and great stuff. I definitely recommend this trip and this agency.

Ukratko o nama.

Relax Tours je počeo sa radom u jednoj maloj poslovnici u Sarajevu sada već davne, 1988. godine. Bili smo prva privatna turistička agencija u Bosni i Hercegovini i pojavili smo se sa tada potpuno novim konceptom usluge: kompletan paket aranžman sa smještajem, avionskom kartom, transferima, itd – sa samo jednom rezervacijom. To je bio početak jedne nove ere, ere gdje su daleka putovanja postala pristupačna običnom covjeku.

Opremljeni smo i sposobni da klijenteli, čija su očekivanja sve profinjenija i zahtjevnija, pružimo nivo usluge koji očekuju i zaslužuju.

“Cilj nam je da ponudimo i obezbijedimo najširi mogući spektar turističkih usluga za individualce, porodice, poslovne ljude i grupe (kako za „incoming“ tako i za „outgoing“ turizam) s povoljnim cijenama koje su pristupačne svim budžetima… “

Zašto putovati baš sa nama?

35 godina iskustva.

Uz 35 godina iskustva u turizmu te kvalitetno osoblje, dvije poslovnice, garantujemo visok nivo kvaliteta usluga.

Nagrade i priznanja

Bossana Tours

WELCOME TO SARAJEVO

“When you go to Sarajevo, what you will experience is life .” – Mike Leigh

COMING TO SARAJEVO

With family, friends, or a partner.

Wondering what to visit, how to get to a location, where to try local specialties, and savor the scent of nature? Watch the video and discover why you will fall in love with this city.

THIS IS ALSO BOSNIA

Less known facts about bosnia.

You already know that we hosted the Winter Olympics and that the most famous film festival in Southeastern Europe takes place here every year. But did you know that the name Bosnia comes from the Indo-European word ‘bossana,’ meaning water? So, it’s no wonder that Bosnia has more waterfalls than Italy, France, and Germany combined.

The first regularly used tram was in Sarajevo, the last primeval forest in Europe is located in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and what makes this country unique is the Bosnian pyramids, among the oldest in the world. As the tenth country in the world in terms of coffee consumption, over a cup of Bosnian coffee in your desired locations, we’ll talk more about everything hidden here, so you can understand why this country is called the gem in the heart of Europe.

Our team will dedicate themselves to each individual, using their knowledge to make you feel at home at all times. Experience the spirituality that this small country holds within.

Sarajevo Old Town (Bascarsija)

As soon as we leave our starting point, our office at Besarina Čikma 5 in the heart of the old town of Sarajevo, first stop of the walk is Baščaršija square and its most interesting symbol, fountain, Sebilj .

Next stop is Kazandžiluk street and story of origins of copper and tin industry in Sarajevo.

Bravadžiluk street in 16th century used to be heart of production of locks and padlocks and that is how it got the name (brava = lock). Today however is home to some of the finest Bosnian food places – Ćevabdžinicas and Buregdžinicas.

We will continue towards Vijećnica (Sarajevo city hall) and walk over Šeher-ćehaja bridge with stories about Yellow and White Bastions including a photo stop at famous Inat Kuća (House of Spite).

In the very vicinity of Vijećnica, there is a Sarajevo Brewery which was founded on May 24th, 1864, and historians consider it to be the oldest industrial plant in Bosnia and Herzegovina and charming Franciscan monastery which is a “must” while learning about the city.

Next stop will be the oldest mosque in Sarajevo, Imperial mosque which will provide a unique  insight into traditions of Islam in Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Just bridge further down the Miljacka river, we shall arrive to Atmejdan park, Latin bridge and assassination point of Franz Ferdinand where we will learn the inevitable story of the WWI.

After WII it is time for a bit older history and a stroll in Gazihusref-beys covered market-bazaar (Gazi Husref-beys bezistan) which was built in early 16th century for trading reasons still today serves the original purpose.

History of Jewish people in Sarajevo and visit to Jewish Synagogue is unmissable part of the tour. Once expelled from Spain in 1492 majority of Sephardic Jews settled regions of the Ottoman Empire, amongst which Sarajevo and Bosnia have hosted large numbers.

> Sarajevo old town Bascarsija coppersmith street – Kazandziluk

Sarajevo City Centre

Next in line of religions who have dominated life and culture of Sarajevo, are Bosnian catholics, and next site on the visit is their greatest temple in Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cathedral of Sacred Jesus Hearth.

Just at the square, if you look around, you will notice red stains on the ground. Those are the worldwide known Sarajevo Roses .

Couple of minutes away from pedestrian zone we will be welcomed by local farmers at green “ Markale Pijaca “. Markale was on front page two times during the 1990ies, due to massacres that took place during the siege of Sarajevo. T

Few steps away will take us to the junction of Mula Mustafa Bašeskija, Titova and Ferhadija street where we we will make a short stop at the Eternal flame (Vječna vatra), favourite meeting place of locals which will give us a chance to soak up some good local atmosphere.

As we continue with the amazing European Jerusalem experience, our next stop will be just a perfect way to display the rich history of religious and cultural diversity that is simply breathtaking – The Orthodox Cathedral Church of the Nativity of the Theotokos.

Afterwards, we will admire the Hotel Europe which is both and hotel and historic building. Built and opened in the early days of what turned out to be a 40-year Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

> Eternal Flame: symbol of fallen fighters and civilians in World War II, but also a symbol of life and vibrancy of the city.

Sarajevo Old Town

Summer garden of this hotel Europe which is an Austro-Hungarian building was actually built on top of the remains of Tašlihan , place constructed in Ottoman period. Two historical places on one sight. Tašlihan was one of three caravanserais in Sarajevo, which served both travellers and horses.

We will go through endowment of Gazi Husref bey, by visiting the Gazi Husref beys mosque , Clock tower famously called Sahat Kula and its belonging building Muvekithana , Madrassa , Khanikah and Library , first public toilette in Sarajevo, Imaret kitchen (once serving only poor), burial place of Gazi Husrev-bey and few other locations important for understanding this complex which is biggest in the Balkans.

Morića Han  will be our next stop and this is certainly one of those corners where you can imagine yourself being in a tale from 1001 Nights Middle Eastern Book . This inn is Sarajevo’s only remaining caravanserai, a place where merchant caravans could find accommodation during the Ottoman period.

Old Orthodox Church , the oldest religious structure in the city will be our last stop for a day and will offer you a shocking experience of “time travel” as soon as you place your foot in its stunning garden.

Funky Tours – The best tour guides in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnia and Herzegovina is an amazing country with so much to offer and luckily I discovered Funky Tours on Tripadvisor. This is truly a fantastic company with an extensive selection of tours to create your adventure.

Funky Tours is headed up by Ema Konakovic and I cannot thank her and the team enough for giving us wonderful memories of Sarajevo and Bosnia & Herzegovina. Emails are always responded within a short period of time and the tour guides always arrived on time at our hotel and most importantly, were so knowledgeable and open to questions during our tours. Sammi and Mustapha you were great. Special thanks to Almir Ale Ahmetagic, a veteran of the Bosnian War who moved us to tears with his experiences. My husband and I feel we have said goodbye to friends.

Stop dithering and book your adventure in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Funky Tours will make it an amazing experience for you.

100% recommend. Excellent tour

We took the siege tour and were incredibly impressed. Mustafa, our guide, lived through the siege and his personal insight was fascinating.

Whilst it is possible to visit the locations on your own, without a knowledgeable guide you just would not have the same understanding of the siege.

We also did the free walking tour and had a great 3 hours with Ahmed who took us to all the main sights around the old town, where he explained Sarajevo’s long and fascinating history.

The office staff are also incredibly friendly and helpful – even taking the time to walk us into town to point out some good restaurants.

I wish we had more time in Sarajevo to do more trips with Funky Tours but I hope to be back soon! 100% recommend this company.

Quality touch on city tour

We did the walking tour around Sarajevo and Ahmed was fantastic! Super knowledgeable and friendly, even took us out for some local treats for my birthday. Thanks again!!

All that is funky–and then some.

As I researched possible tours of the Balkans, I wanted to avoid large groups travelling by coach. I also wanted an itinerary that would balance exploration of nature, culture, and history. Funky Tours looked especially promising.

After recently completing my tour, I am happy to say that Funky Tours far exceeded my high expectations.

Emir was our expert guide and driver, but he was also so much more. He shared his wide and deep knowledge of the region and its history, vivid anecdotes from personal experience, and a delightful sense of humor.

I admired his candor and thoughtfulness in addressing difficult, sometimes political questions, and marveled at his resourcefulness as a troubleshooter who nimbly addressed any and all issues throughout the trip.

Our itinerary was rich and fascinating, often taking us off the beaten track for immersion experiences that helped burst the tourist bubble. I should add that the tour struck a fine balance between comfort and physical activity. Hotel accommodations were excellent, the van was comfortable, and meals provided by the tour were tasty.

At the same time, I enjoyed our walking tours and light hiking in beautiful natural surroundings. Funky Tours also wisely combines structured days with plenty of free time for exploration. As much as I recommend Emir, I have no doubt that everyone at Funky Tours is a capable professional. Just keep in mind that whatever your associations with “funky”, mine are fun, informative, mind-expanding, and first rate.
