Enjoyable Day - We enjoyed every part of this tour. The fortress was very interesting, the hilltop restaurant was authentic and tasty, and the boat tour was a great way to finish the day. This part of the Danube is beautiful and full of history.

It was lovely trip. Our... - It was lovely trip. Our guide was great and had a great knowledge. He was patiently answering everything. Highly recommended. We took our trip from Belgrade. Though we couldn't do the boat ride due to the seasonal restriction, the drive from Belgrade to the fort itself worth the value

Interesting trip with history and good food - A really nice tour. The skilled guide, Tamara, kept us well informed, told us about history and lical stories about places we passed. Really interesting. She answered all our questions. The driver drove carefully and safely. The lunch was good. A thrill to be able to taste a variety of local, home made food in a fantastic area. The boattrip through the Iron gate was nice too, we had sunny weather.

A Serbian Highlight - Golubac Fortress was a highlight of my trip to Serbia. Our tour guide, Drazen, had a deep knowledge of Serbian history and the history of the fortress. Lunch and the subsequent boat ride were pleasant and informative.

Nice but expensive tour - Our guide Marko was very nice and made the whole experience enjoyable. Both the fortress and the archeological site were very interesting and not too packed with tourists. However, the price of the tour is definitely too high for what you get - considering that the entrance to the two sites is around €15 combined, we found the ramaining amount unjustified just for guide and transportation, even though we were lucky to be just a few people on the tour

It’s a super long day. ... - It’s a super long day. Pick up at 8:20am and drop off at 8pm. The fortress is beautiful and the lunch place has a beautiful view and delicious food. Our tour Tamara was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour itself feels like it’s overpriced since you have to pay for your own lunch plus drinks (except for a bottle of water for the whole day).

Gulobac fortress is worth it. - The guide himself Konstantin was bang on. Very knowledgeable and funny. Collected us 4 on time. Explained the itinerary as we went along. He gets 5 Star. I wished we could have experience afterwards a trip to see the dacian statues and spent less time in the lepenski Vir and restaurant.
