Amazing adventure with Milan and Jelena! - This was a definitely something my mom and I will remember forever. Jelena is one of the most positive souls I’ve met. She speaks her eloquent knowledge with the biggest smile. Her passion for Serbian history and culture is vibrant. Milan was an incredible driver, so warm, forward-thinking, sweet, and thoughtful. We felt safe in his care and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this to anyone looking for a once in a lifetime experience. Amazing fortress, mind blowing archeology, stunning boat ride down the Danube. Epic day. Still buzzing!

Great tour, would recommend - This was a great tour. We visited some beautiful sights and learned tons about Serbia and its history. Miroslav and Ranko took great care of the group. I was pleasantly surprised by the booking process itself as well: clear and timely information from the company and a pick-up and drop-off at the hostel. Would highly recommend!

A wonderful tour with a fantastic guide - A very well organized tour to beautiful parts of Serbia. The information in advance was good and the means of transport was pleasant with air conditioning, enough legroom and several bottles of water.
The Golubac Fort is impressive, Lepenski Vir very interesting and the Djerdap Gorge is beautiful. The boat trip was especially beautiful. But also the viewpoints where we stopped.
The route there and back was well planned by driver Ranko and all provided with very good commentary from guide Miroslav. For whom no question was too much.
This trip is highly recommended. You can see beautiful things that you can easily achieve yourself. And the guidance is excellent and you will not soon forget it.

Beautiful tour - Great tour. You will see a number of special places that you would not easily reach yourself. Also certain lookout spots. Certainly for this price it is worth it. You will receive a message about what time you will be picked up. Transport is in a nice bus with enough legroom, air conditioning and WiFi. Lunch is a little later in the afternoon, so you should be well equipped with some snacks. There is enough time to look around the places and the tour guide tells interesting information about the places. Nina was very friendly and answered all your questions. The bus driver drives pleasantly. A real Serbian lunch is also definitely worth it! I did the tour on my own, it's nice to get to know other travelers from around the world. I have also taken another tour, but I think this one is the most special. The speed boat ride is an experience you will never forget!

Spectacular experience!! - Very well organized tour, with very professional guide / driver team Jelena and Nebojsa! A long day but it's really worth it as it flew by! Although all the sites are well worth to visit, my special highlight was the Djerdap boot ride! Spectacular views! Highly recommended! Further also the entire Serbia Inspired team a big thumbs up as they helped me with additional things!
