Great day trip from Sofia to Nis - Excellent tour of Nis and surrounding area. We saw Constantine’s Palace, some more sombre sites including Skull Tower, and then finished with lunch in Nis city centre. Dimo explained each site very well, recommended an authentic Serbian restaurant for lunch and drove us very safely. We perhaps could have had slightly longer at each place to take photos, but overall this was a great day.

Great Day Trip to Serbia with Fascinating Historical Insights - I had a very meaningful experience on the Day Tour to Niš, Serbia. Our guide Lyubo was once again excellent, sharing deep historical insights throughout the journey, while Adrian did a great job organizing the tour smoothly. On the way, we passed by Mediana, the former palace of Emperor Constantine, which added interesting context to the region’s Roman history. In Niš, visiting the Skull Tower was a powerful and sobering reminder of the struggles during the Ottoman period. The Red Cross Nazi Concentration Camp was equally moving, offering an important look into the events of World War II. We ended the tour exploring the Niš Fortress, where we had time to walk around and take in the history and atmosphere of the city. Overall, it was a well-organized trip filled with fascinating history and thoughtful storytelling. Highly recommended for anyone interested in learning more about the region.

10/10 - Great day - our guide Theodore went out of his way to accommodate 6 women who all wanted different things! (coffee, souvenirs and many toilet stops). He was incredibly knowledgeable and sensitive to some of the more challenging themes that appeared throughout the day. Amazing recommendation for lunch and overall a brilliant experience. We would definitely recommend.
