Excellent guide, Yllana (Im likely spelling wrong) was funny, knowledgeable, and cool. Our driver, Milan, was a jewel so courteous helping everyone. It is easy to dehydrate and they were on top of it with water. The boat ride passes great stuff. It is a very long day though, and the big head is technically on the Romanian side.

Wow what an amazing tour! Our guide Nina is one of the best guides! She’s so knowledgeable and informative! We learned much about the history and traditions of Serbia. Our driver Milan is super helpful and a great photographer! We also tasted the local brandy rakija! The Golubac fortress has interesting history, the view of the Danube were picturesque, the boat ride got us a close look on the Romania side of the Danube. It was a very long day but well worth it! We highly recommend this tour as well as Nina and Milan!!

I booked this trip last minute, and got soo lucky!! This was an amazing trip, Jelena was a terrific tourist guide and Milan was a great experienced driver. Both very knowledgable of the region and culture. From the moment they picked you up at your hotel or accommodations to the drop off they were extremely friendly and professional. They offered tips and recommendations for other events, restaurants, and places to see. Highly recommend this well organized and professional group for your tours!

Excellent tour with lots of great views and historical elements. The speedboat ride was wonderful. There’s a bit of driving making this a long tour (ours took 12 hours) and we only got to the lunch break at 4pm but we had a blast.

Heike_K, Sep 2024
What a wonderful day, despite the rain. Jelena is a great guide and goes the extra mile to help each individual in her group. It is a long day, but worth it to see and learn about Serbia, about the fascinating history of the fortress and about the unique aspects of the archeological site and its artifacts. There is a nice stop for lunch, but not until about 3 pm, so it may be advisable to bring some snacks to tide you over. We also appreciated the “rakia break” and the complimentary shot glasses😊

Great trip and our guide, Jelena made it fun and informative. I would advise any tourist that comes to Belgrade to take this day trip. The speed boat on the Danube River was fun and the only way to see Decebal Head Statue on the Romanian side of the river.

Two major sites were 1st class exhibits and explanations. Guide and driver very professional. Van with 6 travelers very comfortable for the long ride. 12 hours long and "lunch" at 1530, so be prepared. Lunch at rural restaurant varied, tasty and inexpensive. Adequate stops for photo and toilet. Recommended. 5* if better schedule.

Very fun and relaxing tour! The highlight of the trip is definitely the boat ride although my fiance and I enjoyed everything. The tour guide, Jelena, is very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time! The only thing I would suggest is to go in spring or autumn instead of summer, because it's incredibly hot.
