Amazing - A must do when travelling to Serbia! We were picked up in Beograd in the morning and spent the whole day exploring the Danube with Nina and Sasa! Nina was wonderful - full of knowledge on many different topics - history, languages, nature. Sasa was an excellent driver! Amazing tour and I highly recommend it!

Lovely day - Jelena and the driver were great. The sites we stopped at were fantastic and we had enough time to see everything at Golubac and Lepenski Vir without feeling rushed. The speed boat ride was also spectacular with lovely views of the Iron Gates Gorge along with the Roman tabula and large rock sculpture. A beautiful and.informative day!
