A great day!

Gregory_B, Sep 2025
This was a great day trip from Belgrade with something for everyone in our group. Our guide Alexander was fantastic.

Great day out of Belgrade

Carly_H, Jun 2025
Great tour out of Belgrade. Milan was an excellent guide. Speed boat was a great addition and much needed to escape the heat

Solid day trip

Aaron_G, Aug 2024
Beautiful fortress and great boat ride. Would have loved the boat ride to be longer. The guide was also worthwhile to talk to learn more about modern Serbia and its people

Fun day outside of Belgrade

Jesse_B, Aug 2024
Had a great time on this tour. Everything went smoothly. The fortress was stunning and was so cool to see up close and personal. Great knowledge by the tour guide as well. Loved exploring. I’d say one downfall is that you only get to go on the first level of the fortress. It’s a little more pricey to go higher which I gladly would’ve paid because why wouldn’t you want to see it all. Not much of an explanation why we couldn’t. Just roped off and that was that. The boat ride was a lot of fun. Great to see the fortress from the water. Ripped around and gave everyone a chance to drive the boat and get pictures. Lunch was also fantastic. Great little spot on the water. Really liked it. All in all I thought it was worth the money and a pretty good tour

Small group drive

Marvin_H, Jul 2024
Small group. The guide did a good tour through the fortress. He spoke English well. Very personable. The boat was not much. The captain when he spoke could not be heard. The majority of the trip, 4 hours was in the van going there and back. No tour was given during this time. The guide/driver spoke to the passenger next to him. He did answer questions when asked. The restaurant took much too long.

Great guide

Elyce_C, Jun 2024
The guide (Novica) was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He gave an excellent tour, we took 1 star off for the company's vehicle; it had no air conditioning vents in the back of the van and it was 40C / 100F with a van full of passengers.

Great trip

Franz_S, Jun 2024
Novica was a great guide and could provide loads of interesting facts about the destination as well as Serbia in general.

Amazing Travel to Golubac
