Over all the trip was very good and our guide Zoran was excellent. However it was a very long drive there and back and it was difficult to hear Zoran while sitting in the back. Fortress was amazing. Lunch excellent and boat trip was very good. However the litter at the boat ramp was disappointing.

Long day so be prepared with snacks for morning trip east. Fort Golubac is wonderfully reconstructed. Great lunch!!
Iron gates were beautiful though cruise not possible due to weather. Archaeological dig fascinating.

Interesting history about the fortress. Danube gorge is stunning and the boat ride is worth going on.

I went on this tour as a rather last minute decision as I had a spare day in Belgrade and I wasn't disappointed. Tamara was a great guide, giving a good balance of information, humour, and allowing time for us to explore at our own pace too. Golubac is magnificent and Lepenski Vir vastly more fascinating than I had anticipated. The lunch (extra) was superb and home made. I can only imagine this tour in Summer would be even more beautiful along the Danube!

The fortress was well worth seeing and the archaeological site was fascinating and well worth visiting

Amazing experience!!! Thank you!
The only issue he had is that no one notified us regarding bus pick up delay by one hour.

The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The fortress was fascinating to see and very well preserved/maintained. The drive through the iron gates was absolutely gorgeous. Would absolutely recommend.

Lipenski vir was the highlight in the tour. Amazing that the civilization existed B.C. 9500 through B.C. 5000 there. Much older than Egypt. In addition the people there were so intelligent and spiritual.

I loved everything but the fortress was out of this world!
The museum was really interesting and the peace we went for lunch was beautiful. Great guide, very knowledgeable and would recommend

We had a great time on this private day tour. Our guide, Dragana was friendly and very knowledgeable, full of stories that made the history come to life. Car ride was long but had some scenic stretches, and it was refreshing to get out of the city for a day. We climbed to the top of Golubac Fortress (admission extra) and got some beautiful views of the Danube. Thank you!

Nice tour. In addition to the pre-planned sites, We were able to see the Serbian countryside. Our guide Jelena was very knowledgeable and she informed us about Serbian history and culture. Overall, this was a great trip; and, I recommend it for anyone who wants to see Beautiful sites and get an interesting history lesson.
