Great trip - Excellent experience to Niš, the tour guide was lovely and guided the group very well. I just wish that there was a bit more free time in the city center and a bit more recommendations given

Great trip, good as a small group - Guide was very informative and friendly (Dmitr), made us feel welcome and safe. This trip was made even better by it being a small group, there were 8 of us, though the guide has said he's done it for just 1 and 3 before. All the stops were worthwhile but were mostly historical, so if that's what you like, this trip would be perfect. Mediana and the Skull Tower were very interesting. The concentration camp was a worthwhile stop as it was a small one but very emotional and informative of what we don't all know. The guide was very flexible with the breaks for toilets, and gave us pretty much however long we wanted at each stop, good freedom and choice, particularly when we came to Niš, we all decided on 2 hours there. Niš is definitely worth visiting, not too touristy and hardly any chains which was nice for a change. Plenty of shops, and restaurants and areas to walk, of which are all opposite the fortress. You wouldn't need more than 2 hours here. If you're in Sofia, this trip would definitely be worth doing if you have a spare day.

Great - New Country - Good day trip to a new country. Niš feels like a very authentic Serbian City. We arrived back in Sofia quite late so it’s certainly a long day

Interesting day out - Really interesting day out with great tour guide Khrysti (sorry for spelling) made lots of new friends on this tour whilst learning about the history of Serbia. Guide made us all welcome, giving lots of snacks and drinks out complimentary. Had lunch at a great spot recommended by the guide. Highly recommend.

Wonderful day trip to Niš - Ilyan was a fantastic tour guide - Our tour to Niš with Ilyan was absolutely magnificent. My wife and I were lucky enough to have the tour to ourselves and Ilyan helped make it unforgettable. He is an extremely intelligent and knowledgeable guide and taught us an astounding amount of history relating to the sights we saw throughout the entire day. This included an archaeological site containing an ancient Roman palace, the Skull Tower, Red Cross Concentration Camp, and Niš Fortress. We had 2 hours of free time for lunch and exploring on our own which was nice. Ilyan’s level of knowledge is just unbeatable and he really helped frame the context for each site we visited, making things easy to comprehend. I would unquestionably recommend this tour to all travellers who want a thoroughly enjoyable, detailed and practical history lesson through the city of Niš. Thank you Ilyan for a wonderful excursion.

A informative insight into Nis Serbia - Had a great day seeing Nis and the surrounding sights. It was a full day but worth it. The van was very comfortable and was picked up and dropped off at my hotel. Enough free time to have lunch and a wander.

Laid back - Laid back. Only downside was a little squished in the car. Not a lot of history given by the guide but he was happy to answer any and all questions. Good amount of free time in Nis and at the museum.

Very interesting - A really interesting day trip that allows you to breathe the air of this vibrant Serbian town with a good match that includes the ruins of Medjana, the Skull Tower (with the clearly visible rebel skulls used to build the tower) and the Nazi concentration camp Red Cross. Fortress and old town to visit. Driver/Guide, Daniel, excellent.
