- Belgrade - The tour begins at 8 a.m. from your accommodation in Belgrade.
- Manasija Monastery - Enjoy a scenic 1.5-hour drive to our first stop, Manasija Monastery, nestled among the green hills of the vibrant Resava gorge. Built in the early 15th century during the reign of Despot Stefan Lazarevic, the complex is encircled by 12 towers designed to protect the Church of Saint Trinity from the Ottomans. The Manasija monastery fortification, with its walls and towers, is the best-preserved fortification complex in medieval Serbia. The monastery’s frescoes are considered one of the greatest achievements of medieval Serbian art, making it 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 and opened to the public ten years later. Today, it is one of the most visited caves in this part of Europe, known for its rich cave formations like stalagmites and stalactites. The tunnels stretch for 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 air humidity between 80 and 100%. The cave tour lasts 40 minutes, so warm clothing is recommended.
- Vodopad Veliki Buk - Next, we head to Lisine waterfall, one of Eastern Serbia’s top attractions. Here, in this stunning location, we will take a lunch break, offering you the chance to try the best trout fish in Serbia.
- Krupajsko Vrelo - Our journey continues to Krupaj Spring, located 30 km from Lisine Waterfall on the west side of Beljanica Mountain. This karst spring is one of the most beautiful in Eastern Europe, with its turquoise waters sure to leave you breathless.

This is a fantastic trip... - This is a fantastic trip with 4 worthwhile stops. Each stop is different offering a nice mix of historic structures and natural beauty. Our guide on the journey was the knowledgeable and energetic Miroslav who kept the bus entertained at each location and during the stretches of driving which were expertly handled by Zile. It's a solid trip that I wish I could take again for the first time.

Made me fall in love with Serbia - This tour offers breathtaking views of the Serbian countryside (hiking to a waterfall, a cave, trout farms, and several river gorges) that will be hard to forget. Our tour guide, Miroslav, was one of the nicest and most knowledgeable tour guides I’ve ever interacted with. He was extremely accommodating and gave us amazing recommendations for food and other sites to see in Belgrade. The food was spectacular, and all the locals at the villages were very friendly as well. I would definitely recommend this tour if you’re a nature lover and want to experience a serene, traditionally Slavic setting that gives you so much insights that contrast the typical European city bustle.

A MUST TRIP - A WONDERFULL Trip that was even upgraded by the VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE GUIDE named Jyelena. In addition to HER EXPLANATIONS and DATA, she created a very good atmosphere among the group members. Dont miss joining a trip with Jyelena. The driver named MILAN was PROFESSIONAL and helpfull. The Rakia he produces tastes great.

Amazing Eastern Serbia Tour - highly recommend!!! - I had the best day exploring Eastern Serbia (solo traveller)! Guide Jelena and driver Milan were both very friendly - the tour was perfect. Jelena was so knowledgeable and energetic, and was a great photographer for us all too! We had a fun time and learned a lot about this beautiful part of the world. Our minibus seated 6 people and had Wifi, air con and heating. We ended up part of a group of 2 minibuses, so around 12 of us in total.
The sites we visited really were gems. We had a very tasty lunch before heading back to Belgrade (with big portions!) and the location allowed for a bonus trip to another monastery just a few minutes walk away, for those who wished to visit while waiting for lunch to be prepared. We also really enjoyed the rakija tasting that Milan arranged for us (walnut and blackberry rakija were new ones to me and very tasty!), and meeting and feeding the local dogs!
Thank you so much Jelena and Milan for an amazing day that I will never forget! HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone visiting Belgrade with a day to spare to explore! :)

Great for solo females! - Great for solo travelers! I was well communicated with prior to the day trip, and they even accommodated my change in hotel location pick up. Was great that they sent me the exact GPS pick up location...stress free. Jelena was an exceptional guide, sharing extensive information and answering many questions. Loved the group size of 6...3 ppl together and 3 solo travelers. The drive was great, the stops were AMAZING. Highly recommend!
