More than brutalist architecture tour - The tour gave us an excellent overview of the socialist architecture and the city's landmarks of the era. The guide Ksenija was excellent in putting the architecture in a wider context. I loved her personal stories of growing up in New Belgrade during the last decade of the communist Yugoslavia. Something quite unique!

Great tour about architecture and society - It really was a true discovery! We imagined the communist architecture differently. We were surprised to see a primary school with modernistic shapes in red brick, with a swimming pool! Genex Tower is absolutely worth seeing, like a spaceship, such a remarkable structure. Ksenija was super friendly and engaging, adding an interesting personal commentary on the architecture and life in Yugoslavia.

Architecture and more - I booked this tour for my friends from the US and joined myself. For them it was genuine discovery, for me it was a reminder how things once were. Ksenija is an excellent guide, capable of pointing to the interesting angles beyond architecture

Amazing experience! - Ksenija was amazing, the tour was very informative even for native Belgrade citizens. We went on the tour because we love brutalisam and had a blast. One of my friends was visiting from abroad, and she enjoyed the tour as well because Ksenija explained everything in fluent English. Super thankful and a big recommendation for anyone who is interested in storytelling from someone with a lot of experience!

Great learning experience in Belgrade! - The architecture tour was brilliant, I highly recommend. I booked this private tour to do on my own with Kesenija who took good care of me, a very knowledgable guide who will answer any questions in depth and guide you through Belgrades brutalist landmarks. A valuable experience!

Got complemented from my foreign friend for chosing this tour - I chose this tour to show a little bit of Belgrade to my foreign friends another side of this large city, apart from the city centre. I am from Serbia but I am not from Belgrade so this was a new experience for me as well. I was thrilled to be a part of this fun group and my Slovenian friend complemented me on what a great choice it was to try this tour. Try it out when you get the chance!

Brutally New Belgrade- in the best way - Typically I am not a fan of the more recent approaches in architecture - however, I have always been drawn towards New Belgrade block and I just wanted to know more. The tour guides came up with a great concept here and were very interesting to listen to. Walk aside Danube is simply perfect. My personal favourite is the Genex tower - hope it will be reconstructed and kept well. Please take your time to visit New Belgrade and I hope my take will inspire you.

See what New Belgrade has to offer - Myself being a Belgrade native, I thought I knew this city all too well. Realising I did not in fact know these parts of New Belgrade, I felt curious and so I decided to book this tour. The tour exceeded my expectations and made me want to walk around New Belgrade more often. This is great both for tourist and us, fellow Belgradians. Time well spent.

Will inspire you to explore more recent parts of city - Wow! Loved it! My boyfriend surprised me with this tour for my birthday. Lovely way to soend a few hours on a sunny day. Personally, I am a big fan of walks and I could continue if this tour lasted for 1-2 hours more. I found it to be very insightfull and original.
