Forstå Srebrenica folkedrab Tour + frokost med lokal familie inkluderet

I took this tour with Tarek as the guide. He was an excellent guide, really helping with understanding what happened in the region that still remains fresh in the memories of many people in the region. This is not a period of history that is taught in schools, at least in the UK, so it’s important that trips like this continue to take place.

A very good all round tour, the guide and driver were very good and well informed. The trip was excellent and we would use funky tours again. Thanks for a great day. Glynn and Lisa.

This tour was a really positive experience, the guide was extremely well prepared, he managed to keep the entire day interesting and answered all of our questions. If you are interested in understanding what happened in Srebrenica and the historical context behind it I really recommend it. I would also like to mention that the lunch with the local family was lovely, thank you so much!

Very moving memorials, kind and informative guide, family lunch was delicious and memorable

The visit to Srebrenica deeply emotioned me and my friends. Everything was well organized by the tour guide Terek. Terek provided meaningful and informative tour. The visit to the cemetery, the musuem and finally the lunch with the family touched me deeply. 5 stars!

An incredible but sobering experience. Our tour guide Ajla was incredibly knowledgeable. She provided an excellent history of the conflict as well as present day insights. She is also an expert at navigating the mountain roads in extremely heavy fog while chatting the whole time. The local hosts were incredibly gracious as well.

Me and my family, are just back, from a wonderful and memorable 9 day trip to Sarajevo. The highlight of our trip was booking an excellent trip to Srebrenica and Potocari with Funky Tours including lunch. Our excellent chauffeur was called Adnan. On the morning of our trip, he picked us up, outside our apartment. However, due to my Wife being wheelchair bound and unable to walk, the vehicle was unsuitable as my Wife would not have been able to get in the vehicle as it was too high. Adnan, we cannot thank enough, contacted the company to explain and a car was sent out which was able to support my Wife. While awaiting the arrival of the car, Adnan treated myself, my Wife and son to coffee in a local restaurant. Adnan then swapped his vehicle over to the driver of the car and we were off on our adventure. Our tour was private. Adnan was a fantastic guide, explaining the full history leading to the horrific genocide that took place In Srebrenica. We drove through beautiful mountains on our way to Potocari around 5-6 kilometres away from Srebrenica to the Genocide Memorial and Cemetery. On our arrival, Adnan handed us over to a guide, who took us inside the museum. We watched factual videos it if atrocities that took place and saw many artifacts. This part of the tour was very sad, something that should have never ever have happened. After the tour, we were met again by Adnan, who was wondering in helping my Wife back into the car, despite he was suffering from back and leg problems himself, he was magnificent. Adnan then explained to us about the lunch arrangements. Adnan felt, it would be too difficult for my Wife to visit one of the family homes for lunch, because he explained how they were built up high and there were stairs/steps, which would be impossible for my Wife. To our surprise, Adnan being as fantastic as he is, arranged lunch for us at a local restaurant, which was just perfect, especially for my Wife. Adnan took us there and popped out to collect a lovely woman who would have been our host for lunch. This wonderful lady, although she could not speak English and we could not speak Bosnian, Adnan also worked as an interpreter between us. This wonderful lady worked as a teacher in a local school, she served our dinner also and was very friendly. We discussed different issues and the day was perfect. The meal was absolutely delicious. In leaving lunch, the very kind lady gave us all a small but beautiful remembrance gift in memory of the genocide. On our way back to Dzemala Bijedica in Bulevar where we were staying, we had many questions for Adnan, he also explained about his life before the genocide and how it all changed overt. Adnan is a war veteran and explains everything in great detail. He is highly intelligent and knowledgeable on the history of his country and everything surrounding it. Funky Tours is a company you must not forget. I highly recommend Funky tours for all your trips and tours. We give them a 10/10 and a full star rating. They are fantastic and fabulous. Their fleet of vehicles are spotless and clean and they communicate excellent with their guests. If you get Adnan as your private driver, you have one excellent and memorable trip of a lifetime and I highly recommend him. I would like to wish Adnan and his family good health, a very happy Christmas and good health for the New Year. We wish Funky Tours equally the same. I will certainly be back visiting the beautiful country of Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina and I / we will certainly be booking all our tours with Funky Tours. Thank you all. You were very kind to us all. James,Gina and Mark James Fisher

This tour is a well thought out and worthwhile learning day trip from Sarajevo. Our guide and driver Adnan was an expert at providing context and insight to what we were about to see and experience in Srebrenica. The 3 hour drive there was a good opportunity to ask questions. The exhibitions at the memorial are extensive and you won't have time to do them justice, so have a think about which parts you really want to see. An absolute highlight is having a home cooked lunch with a local family and having the time to digest your new knowledge. I recommend everyone to do this tour, all ages and all backgrounds.

Funky Tours is a reputable tour operator and their communication prior to the tour was excellent. This is a very thoughtfully planned tour. Our small group was guided by Mersad, who was an excellent tour guide and safe driver. Along the way he made sure all were comfortable and I was grateful for his openness to share many stories during the drive. It helped me understand not just Srebrenica but the complicated situation 30 years after the genocide. Lunch with our hosts in Srebrenica was a truly special experience. I cannot express my gratitude enough to our hosts for sharing their home and their stories. I highly recommend this tour if you are in the right mindset. Be prepared for a long day with 3 hour scenic mountain drive each direction from Sarajevo, with flexibility for rest stops. From pickup to dropoff, the tour came to about 12 hours. The museum exhibits were excellent with far more information than one can digest in a day. There is no way to emotionally prepare for such devastating information, but it is helpful to do some reading on the topic in advance. I would say one must bring a mindset of learning and respect for the welfare of the group to give each person space to process. I recommend bringing good energy, a water bottle, and for women to bring a head scarf to be worn at the cemetery.

This was was a very powerful and moving tour. It was a long day but absolutely worth it. It was not a typical holiday experience - but in the context of so much of what seems to be happening elsewhere in the world it felt important to see and learn from what happened here. The Memorial Centre and graveyard were genuinely deeply moving and in many ways disturbing. The graves stretching as far as they eye could see is a sight that will stay with me. We were lucky to have Adis as our guide who gave thoughtful and empathetic explanations of what we were seeing. It would be wrong to make it sound as though the experience was just sombre. We had a delicious and welcoming luch delicious lunch with Sabaheta, a local resident and survivor, and it was great to have the opportunity to talk to her about her experiences and life. I am very pleased Funky Tours organised this and that we could put something back into the community. Maybe more of this sort of thing would be good. It is also worth noting that you pass through beautiful and fascinating scenery on your way to Srebrenica and Adis' organisation and driving was excellent. My only suggestion would be that as there is more than you can possibly see and take in on one day in the Memorial Centre I would advise thinking carefully about what you want to see and I know Adis or the other guides will help you get the most out of your visit
