Fun day outside of Belgrade - 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

Super - Fortress Golubac seemed very interesting. Thank's our guide Aleksandr, he was very attentive. We don't now english well, but Aleksandr tried to explain everything so that we could understand. He managed to organize a boat trip for us. Views on Romania and fortress from boad trip on Danube river was more impressed.

A great one day tour. - A wonderful one-day tour to Mokra Gora. Guide Milan is friendly, knowledgeable and loves his homeland, a true professional. The trip is organized with stops: to capture the landscapes, drink local delicious raspberry juice, and have lunch with excellent national cuisine. Amazing landscapes, mountains, Drina River, mountain railway. The trip impressed me with Serbian culture and local color. Milan is the best guide I have ever met. This tour left some impressive moments in the journey through Serbia.

Great tour, even better guide - Fabulous day trip. Vladica was an amazing guide, full of great information about the sites visited and willingly answered other questions about the region. We had a beautiful lunch by the river and laughed all day. Can’t recommend Vladica enough.

Great guide - 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.

Small group drive - 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.
