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.
Response from the operator: 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.
Response from the operator: Dear Han, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're happy to hear that Ema's quick responses and detailed itinerary planning, including hiking and cultural activities, contributed to a memorable holiday. It's great to know that the hotel selections met your expectations with comfortable beds, a great breakfast selection, and excellent locations.

Bosnian Traditional Handicraft, half-day - do it yourself - Coppersmith Workshop: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sarajevo.
How much does Bosnian Traditional Handicraft, half-day - do it yourself - Coppersmith Workshop cost?
+
Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sarajevo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bosnian Traditional Handicraft, half-day - do it yourself - Coppersmith Workshop take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sarajevo is not rushed.
Is Bosnian Traditional Handicraft, half-day - do it yourself - Coppersmith Workshop worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sarajevo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bosnian Traditional Handicraft, half-day - do it yourself - Coppersmith Workshop?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bosnian Traditional Handicraft, half-day - do it yourself - Coppersmith Workshop suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bosnian Traditional Handicraft, half-day - do it yourself - Coppersmith Workshop?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sarajevo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sarajevo and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bosnian Traditional Handicraft, half-day - do it yourself - Coppersmith Workshop start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sarajevo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sarajevo?
+
On Outty we rank every Sarajevo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Fall of Yugoslavia, Sarajevo War Tour with Tunnel of Hope Museum and Frontlines, From Sarajevo: Srebrenica Genocide Memorial Study Tour, Tunnel Museum: Bosnian & Yugoslav Wars Tour with War Veteran. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sarajevo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sarajevo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
