In June 2025, we (a group of 8) took Funky’s ‘Split to Dubrovnik Transfer’ tour from Split to Dubrovnik. The trip included a drive with stops from Split to Sarajevo, two nights and two tours in Sarajevo, and a drive with stops from Sarajevo to Dubrovnik. The trip was both interesting and insightful. The stops we made along the way highlighted some of the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The countryside in BiH surprised us with its beauty: mountainous, very green and forested in the north, and more Mediterranean in the south - rocky with lots of scrub brush. Our drivers/tour guides: Adnan (from Split to Sarajevo), Emin and Edo in Sarajevo, and Andar (from Sarajevo to Dubrovnik) were outstanding. Each guide explained the history of each area that we visited and/or passed through, and included much of his personal history and observations about the various areas, particularly the war years in the 1990s, as well as the current state of politics and government in BiH. The vans used by the drivers were large and comfortable and easily accomodated the 8 of us, our driver, and all of our luggage. The four star hotel Funky provided in Sarajevo - Colors Inn - was excellent: great location, large and comfortable rooms, outstanding staff, and a very generous buffet breakfast. All for a surprisingly reasonable price. I would also like to acknowledge the administrative staff we worked with at Funky Tours: Edna and Eldin. Edna arranged our booking and patiently worked with us as our tour group increased from 4 to 6 to 8 people. Eldin helped us work with our driver from Sarajevo to Dubrovnik to ensure that we would arrive in Dubrovnik on time for a group dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in BiH. Excellent experience, excellent staff all around, thank you Funky Tours!
