This tour not only gives you an overview of the varied parts of old city center, but tells you how it came to be this way. T B, our guide, offered us in depth history of Serbia and its place in the Balkans, as well as the current day situation. A lot to absorb. Excellent tour.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are so glad you found our Belgrade walking tour to be so worthwhile. We couldn't agree more—T.B. is an exceptional guide with a deep understanding of history and the context of the Balkans. It's our goal to not only show you the city but to help you understand how it came to be, and we're thrilled that you found the experience so enriching. Your feedback means a lot to us!

Guide was knowledgeable and friendly. I was lucky in that nobody else signed up for the tour and essentially got a private tour.
Not sure why nobody signed up, maybe wanting more specific locations, but I sware we saw the biggest hits of old Belgrade and left feeling smarter and like I had a local who knew what the past and present where, and how they were related.
Response from Host, Aug 2025

I recently joined ‘A Crash Course through Serbian History’ and had an amazing experience. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of our questions, which made the tour even more engaging. I loved the tour and learned so much about Serbia’s rich history. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of the country.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Deeper understanding of our country is exactly the goal of this tour and we are happy that we are succeeding at it :) Thank you for amazing review!
Jay_B, Sep 2024
You get a lot of history in a short period of time and are taken around a lot of hidden gem areas you wouldn’t normally find on your own. Great way to see the city and its history.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
It is not easy to condense 2300 years of history within a 3-hour tour, but somehow our guides manage to do so. Many thanks for a 5-star review! :)

This walking tour was absolutely amazing. Jovana was my guide, and it was felt like I was exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend for a few hours. I learned a lot about the area's history and politics in a digestible way. I really appreciated Jovana's candidness and how she shared personal stories. I highly recommend this tour. It was one of the highlights of my stay in Belgrade!
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you for a wonderful review, we are glad that you had a nice time with Jovana :) All the best and we hope to see you again in Belgrade!

We had an amazing time on this tour! Marija is a phenomenal tour guide who's very knowledgeable, patient and understanding. She gave me the time to translate her words into Chinese for my family, and she had Chinese reading material prepared for us as well! She is also a very personable guide who really stayed connected and engaged with us throughout the tour. We learned a lot about Belgrade and Serbia from her and gained a whole new perspective. I totally recommend this tour for anyone who wants a memorable experience!
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Many thanks for a lovely review, Marija is one of our best guides and she was very happy to have you as our guests! :)
Maria_G, May 2024
My guide was Marina and she is absolutely wonderful! Not only is she knowledgeable (and very enthusiastic!) about the history of Serbia and Belgrade, but she is able to talk about history in a very engaging way. Also, the tour turned out to be private and I was able to ask a ton of questions to which Marina always had great and well thought out responses. Oh and she filled the tour with lots of cool Belgrade trivia here and there, it really made me see the city in a new light. Definitely highly recommend, great tour, worth every minute of my time and every penny!
Response from Host, Jul 2024
We love questions! Marina was very happy to answer all of them! :) We are glad to hear that you enjoyed our tour, many thanks for recommending us!

El tour inició en el corazón de Belgrado y conocí lugares impresionantes. Mi guía Tibor sabía de todo, me respondió todas mis preguntas y me guió a través de la historia de Belgrado y de su actualidad. La verdad fue un tour muy completo y tuve la fortuna de que solo era yo en el tour, entonces fue una experiencia privada. Recorrimos la mayoría de lugares de interés que hay en la ciudad y me dejó recomendaciones para mi estadía. Recomendaría a ojos cerrados el tour. Mil y mil gracias.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Muchas gracias! :) We are always glad to hear that our guests had a great time, and Tibor was very happy to show you around the city!
