- Manasija Monastery - Enjoy the stunning scenery during a 1.5-hour drive to the first stop, Manasija Monastery, nestled among the lush hills of the vibrant Resava gorge. Constructed in the early 15th century under the rule of Despot Stefan Lazarevic, the complex is encircled by 12 towers built to protect the Church of Saint Trinity from the Ottomans. The fortification of Manasija Monastery, with its walls and towers, is the best-preserved fortification complex in medieval Serbia. Its frescoes are considered one of the greatest achievements of medieval Serbian art, making the monastery a true gem of Serbian medieval culture.
- Resavska Cave - The tour continues to the 80-million-year-old Resava Cave, discovered by a local shepherd in 1962. It opened to the public ten years later and is now one of the most visited caves in this part of Europe, renowned for its stunning cave formations: stalagmites and stalactites. The tunnels stretch 4.5 km, with over 2 km explored and 800 m accessible to visitors. The cave maintains a constant temperature of 7°C year-round, with humidity levels between 80 and 100%. The cave tour lasts 40 minutes, so wearing warm clothing is advised.

Worth Every Penny - Wow! That was one of the best tours I’ve ever had. Thank you so much, Nina! She’s definitely knowledgeable. One of the best tour guides out there! I learned a lot from her. She’s also very good at taking photos. Thanks also to our driver for the safe drive (sorry I can’t remember his name now). Thank you. I enjoyed that tour so much. 😊

Amazing day trip (beautiful East Serbia) - Trip was extremely well organised by the tour company and the person coordinating on WhatsApp was super helpful as well.
The tour guide Nina was amazing and kept the entire journey super interesting. The driver Zile was really sweet and drove safely throughout.
Hospitality was great. We had an amazing lunch. The best food in the Balkans so far.

Outstanding Guides, Beautiful Places, and a Perfectly Planned Trip - The trip was wonderful, and we truly couldn’t have asked for better guides. Nina was exceptional—by far the best guide we’ve travelled with across all our trips in Europe. She was incredibly friendly, warm, and impressively knowledgeable about the history and significance of every place we visited. Her passion genuinely elevated the entire experience.
Alexander (Sasha) was equally amazing. He played a crucial role in making the trip smooth and stress-free, handling the long drives with great care and professionalism while ensuring we felt safe throughout the journey.
The places we visited were beautiful, especially the monastery and the caves, which were absolute highlights. The waterfall was serene and peaceful, while the spring felt slightly underwhelming in comparison, but still enjoyable overall.
All in all, it was a fantastic experience, made truly special by the people guiding us. Highly recommended.

An Unforgettable Experience with Nina and Milan! - I cannot recommend this tour enough, largely thanks to our incredible guide, Nina, and our fantastic driver, Milan.
Nina was absolutely amazing. She didn’t just recite facts; she gave us a deep "in and out" history of everything we saw, bringing the stories of each location to life with such passion. Beyond her historical knowledge, she was incredibly helpful with personal recommendations. She gave us the best suggestions for local food and pointed out hidden gems to visit that weren’t even on our original list.
Milan provided a smooth and stress-free journey. He was professional, punctual, and made us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the entire trip.
If you are looking for a tour that combines deep local insight with top-tier service, ask for Nina and Milan. They truly made our trip special!

Wonderful trip! - We had a wonderful day trip with Serbia inspired tours. Nina was our guide and was very knowledgeable, kind and helpful. She told us many interesting facts about Serbia and its history. We saw many picturesque places and enjoyed tasty lunch in local restaurant. Zive, our driver provided safe and smooth drive from Belgrade and back. They also let us taste the local rakija and we also received glasses as a souvenir, which was a very nice gesture. We enjoyed the whole trip a lot and can recommend this company for 100%! Thank you for a wonderful day!
