Day trip to Nis - Lovely day in Nis and nearby. Rosen was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Nis itself is a neat town and the local food is very good. The skull tower and the concentration camp were very powerful and memorable places.

Do it, go see another country in a short time from Sofia - Brilliant trip, guide who's name has slipped my mind was superb, very informative and if she didn't know she soon found out the answer Very highly recommend great tour company Thank you very much 👍👍

The Serbian experience from Texans - Our tour guide Michael was amazing! He was very kind and very knowledgeable. I will definitely recommend this tour to anyone very informative for sure! He also wants to give everyone the best Serbian experience by letting everyone know of the best places to eat.

A trip you will remember - After an hour to the border and less than 45 mins to the first stop where you see a big complex of the Roman time. Some of the mosaics are well preserved. From now on until the lunch break in Niš it's getting very brutal. The Skull Tower from the Otoman Empire and the 12th February (1942) Monument, which is a concentration camp now monument to all that managed or tried to escape that particular date. It also shows what Nazis did in only a few years - killing many people for no real reason. For about 2 hours there's time to explore Niš before having a final look to the fortress in the city centre. After that it's back to Sofia. The scenery is stunning especially around this time as it starts getting green everywhere and it's not too hot. We were also lucky with the border crossing as it might take hours just at the border. We only had to wait for 10-15 minutes though it was the Easter week for the Orthodox Christians. Thanks to Laura, our driver and guide, you learn a lot about the history of the Slavik people. Starting even BC through greek and roman time to Otoman until almost now, about Bulgarian Empires growing shrinking and vanishing, as well as the different regions that were occupied and fought for, borders shifting east and west, and about the Soviet time and how it ended with wars after Yugoslavia split up again. A trip you will remember.

An informative and different day out in serbia - A very informative yet light trip. 3 amazing places to stop by No rush and yet plenty of travelling. Out guide was super friendly too. Highly recommended

Emotional tour - We had pick up from our hotel so great. Our guide peter was very welcoming very helpful and full of intresting information . Skull tower and the concentration camp very emotionally scenes. If this sort of history intrests you then worth the vist. Our tour guide advised us on good restaurants to eat in . We had lovely food but wished we just grabbed a sandwich as we did not have enough time to go and explore nis which was a shame as i was really looking forward to that especially as nis looks a beautiful place .

Pretty good day - The tour from start to finish was just spot on!! Guide arrived early but wasn't pressured to hurry up. The drive was long but Peter the guide was talking telling us interesting facts. The places we saw were all good and the tickets were included in the guide tour. We had an hour and an hour for lunch and to visit the castle but in Nis but was so busy by the time we eaten we had to leave. However Peter allowed us to stay another 40 minutes to quickly explore the castle. Peter was very knowledgeable and understood all our questions. Highly recommend!!

Great way to spend a day from Sofia - Great way to spend a day from Sofia. The hotel pick up and drop off is very convenient. Driver was on time and both he and the tour guide were very patient and friendly. Tour itself was just okay, some interesting facts on Bulgarian and Serbian history but nothing you couldn’t find via Google. We visited the Medina archaeological site, Skull tower and Nis fortress in Serbia; however guide was unaware of the Nazi concentration camp site’s closing time so we missed visiting this site on the tour. He however chose a good spot for lunch opposite the Nis fortress and we returned to Sofia in good time. A long interesting day which could have been topped only by visiting all the promised sites within the package. Would however recommend.

Five hour round trip to Nis, Serbia - Really interesting trip, with a 2 hour 30 minute car journey each way. Nis itself is small and not so visually appealing or interesting as most European cities. However, our driver/guide (Martin) was very friendly and made the day most enjoyable. We also did the Skopje trip from Sofia. More impressive town and worth the four hour drive

A fine trip, just the tour operator needs some process changes. - The trip to Serbia itself was fine (I do wish the tour guide who was driving us to/from Serbia talked to us in the van, as it was just complete silence in both directions) would have been nice to know more about Serbia etc. The issue we unfortunately had to experience however was due to other tourists (a family) on the trip with us who were from Armenia who failed to check their VISA requirements and we faced issues arriving at the border between Bulgaria/Serbia as their VISA had a 1 time entry/exit requirement to Bulgaria, at this point the tour operator (driver) 'should' have just said no they cannot go through to Serbia on the day trip ad arranged for a pick up for them at the border in return so that the rest of us on the trip did not have to then miss out. Instead the tour operator (driver) went for quite a while with our passports to try sort the issue and then miraculously came back to us stating that it was all fine and we can proceed through. However after a long day trip then to Serbia and coming back to the border that evening (then being stuck in traffic with long border ques), it was no longer 'fine' about the families VISA when we seen about 5/6 Bulgarian police officer's come out of no where to our van to move us aside for further questioning with the tour operator (driver) who appeared very frustrated, they also still had all our passports at this time. Then the tour operator (driver) informs us that we have to go back to Nis (Serbia) to go to the Armenian embassy to get the VISA that they need for re-entry to Bulgaria; the family in question were of course confused as the tour operator (driver) told them that morning that the issue was fine/sorted. After some time waiting around at the border, the tour operator (driver) gave those of us unaffected by the VISA issue (x 3) our passports back and said that 'someone' from his company would come pick the 3 of us up at a petrol station that we had to walk to down from the border and had a 'poor me' moment of what am I going to do now that he had to go back into Nis (Serbia) when his responsibility was to the tourists on this day trip and the proper process which should have been followed in this case at the 'start of the day'. The 3 of us had to then walk in the very cold weather (which of course then started to rain) down on the road (as there was no path, as I don't think a pedestrian is supposed to walk on the border roads) to find this service station to wait at. And we were at this service station for quite a while (over 2 hours) with no word from anyone, one of the girls with us text messaged someone in the tour operator who had contacted her the day previous about the pick-up time for the trip to see if she could contact someone, he eventually got back in contact with us to say he was on his way (though we did not believe he had even left Sofia at that time). He eventually arrived in his own car (no tour van) as we believed it was his day off, and brought us back to Sofia. Though we do have to mention for this whole tour agency they do have to learn to 'slow down' when it comes to driving as they are very fast, switch between lanes or drive between the lanes very quickly and brake quite suddenly (not great for someone who may be an anxious passenger) and you know have a fear of crashing; we also went on another day trip with this company 2 days later to Macedonia and experienced the same speeding issue (also taking note that the tour operator (driver) that day, had to pay about 6 speeding fines (from other drivers in the tour operator for that van) when entering the Macedonian border in order to go through and said he had no fines himself despite then speeding the whole time afterwards. We eventually got back to Sofia city centre 3.5 hours after we were supposed to have been back, feeling very cold and tired (as it was quite late that night) and we had to go try get some food. I also wanted to mention that the family from Armenia also had a small child travelling with them who was possibly 2/3 years old, he should not have been allowed on this trip it was far too long for a child, he was also sick (kept coughing/crying in the back of the van), he was causing interruptions during the tour parts in Serbia when the tour operator (driver) was explaining historical information to us that we could not hear very well; there should be a cap of possibly 12 years on who can attend these long day trips. I feel the whole process does need to be changes by the tour operator, they need to check at time of pick-up that each person has their passport/correct VISA requirements and if there is an issue at the border at the start of the trip, they need to be left behind (and picked up by someone from the tour operator) whilst the rest of the tourists on the trip get to carry on without being impacted also.
