Amazing female coppersmith, useless third party tour company.

The coppersmith workshop was absolutely fantastic, we have just finished it this afternoon. Unfortunately Funky tours is a third party involved in the booking and they are completely incompetent, but the coppersmith host is amazing and we had such a great time with her. If you book with funky tours, double check your booking confirmation with them as they have no idea what's going on. If you can choose this tour elsewhere with another company that also uses this same female coppersmith (she is the only female in her profession), then I'd recommend booking it with the other company.

Coppersmith experience

This was a very fun activity. We began the experience by a short walk from the Funky Tour office to the copper workshop/business. The shop owner was very friendly and immediately made us feel comfortable over a cup of coffee and tea. We decided to make decorative souvenir type magnets. All the tools and instruction were provided and we enjoyed several hours of laughing and enjoying our time. We really enjoyed the experience, perfect if the weather outside is not so good. It gave us a new appreciation of how skilled the local coppersmiths really are in their craft.

Operator response

Dear Charles, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We're so happy to hear that you had fun time during the copper workshop. It warms our hearts to know that the shop owner made you feel welcome and that you were able to create souvenir magnets. It's fantastic to hear that despite the weather, you were able to have a great time, filled with laughter and creativity. FT Team! <3

Unique, Local Experience in Sarajevo!!

I loved getting to chat and learn about the copper making craft. The host is the only female in her industry in Sarajevo. She gave so much incite on the craft as well as what life is like in Sarajevo. Coming home with my very own Bosnian coffee post was the cherry on top of a wonderful afternoon! I absolutely recommend adding this to your itinerary.

funtastic customised holiday with Funky Tour, every experience is so magical.....

my friends and i (eight of us) just wrapped up our funtastic holiday with Funky Tours. In Apr this year, i found Funky tours website and i email Funky Tours to make enquiry after reading positive review from Trip Adviser. Ema was quick to response to my queries and thru several emails, she managed to come out with a detailed itinerary, to include both hiking and cultural activities . Ema has also offered lots of suggestions, which was really helpful. We had such a great and memorable time in Zagreb, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The hotels selection by Funky Tours was great too. The hotel is of great standard, good comfortable beds, great breakfast selection, and great location . Our guides were awesome and professional too Everyone in Funky Tours are just awesome.

A must do experience

The artist is the only female artisan of this craft. She learned from her father. She is patient and her English instruction is perfect. She even helps fix your mistakes. It is a fascinating afternoon and you come away with your own Bosnian coffee pot. She is a true artisan and her workshop exhibits beautiful work.

Amazing experience!

This was such a lovely tour and I was so touched to learn so much about the history of Sarajevo and this craft. I will forever keep and use the coffee pot with the designs I created that have a special meaning to me. This tour is not to be missed!

A morning well spent

We would definitely recommend, even if you are just for a few days in Sarajevo. We spent the whole morning in a small workshop, trying to learn the basics of this craft. Our hostess was so kind and explained everything in detail with so much patience. Our coffee pots will be kept as a memory, for sure. Thank you for this experience!
