Cute train trip - The train trip on the mountains and the scenic views of the valley are amazing. Johan was a great guide with lots of knowledge. We learnt a lot about Serbia from him. The house on the river is a photo op. A good way to get out of Belgrade and experience the Serbian countryside.

Great trip for nature lovers - Had a beautiful day, the tour was actually so much better than I expected. Gorgeous views of the mountains and forests, western Serbia is so picturesque! The highlight was definitely a train ride! So much fun! Beautiful wooden village and very curious Drina river house. The tour was well organized and interesting. We learned a lot about Serbian history from our guide Jovan.

Memorable experiences - The tour didn’t push thru because I’m the only booked. But instead they booked me in a full day tour in Novi Sad. I will rate that to 5 because everything was on time. We have the best tour guide & driver.

Must-See Views! - What a special experience! The views were absolutely phenomenal and our tour guide, Marko, was so sweet and well-rounded. Seeing the house on the Drina river was so special, the train took you to beautiful overlooks of the mountains and smaller villages, and the wooden town had such a unique story and was cool to walk around. Serbia has so much to offer, so if you’re looking to explore outside of the bigger cities, I would definitely recommend this trip! Thank you again Marko for making this such a fun time for me and my friend😁

Best part of Serbia, I loved this tour, you can't miss it! - This was my third tour with the same company and, despite the other two tours I took were great, I must say that Western Serbia has been my favourite part of the country! Wonderful nature, driving through mountains and stunning views. I loved every single stop. The Drina river house was bizarre, and after taking some photos we enjoyed a freshly made raspberry juice (RSD 350) at a restaurant with a beautiful view of the little house from their terrace. The train journey at Šargan Eight Railway was the best part. You could stay outside the train like those far west trains in movies, and the views were stunning. I would recommend getting on the first car of the train, so that on the way back that will be the last car and you won't have anything blocking your view. The wooden town was also great. Our guide, Jovan, was very informative and made a lot of funny jokes. He entertained us throughout the long drive. You really cannot miss this tour if you go to Serbia!!!

Disappointing tour - Your was disappointing - long hours of driving and the stops were not that great. Thankfully our tour guide (Joven) made this a fun experience through his commentary and stories but the tour itself was much less exciting.

Disappointing tour despite excellent tour guide - I’ll confess the fact that it rained a lot and we had a fog in the mountains didn’t help but just looking at the attractions of the day they were a bit of a letdown. The Drina river house is cool but just a quick stop. The train ride was fun but too long and the Wooden Town is a tourist trap with nothing worth seeing. So a lot of driving and not much to justify it. The thing that made the trip fun was our guide and driver Joven who was a fountain of knowledge about Serbia and shared interesting stories about his family that made the long hours in the car enjoyable. But can’t say this was a tour I would recommend.
