Additional Information

So, you’ve found yourself lost in the grand city of Belgrade, with world politics also competing for your attention? You want to know our journey till now, and where we might have gone off track? You’re definitely in the right spot for such queries. From the epoch of Christ, Belgrade has been a pivotal fortress at the juncture of two cultures, that of the East and the West… Numerous races like the Celts, Romans, Byzantines, Ottomans, Austro-Hungarians, Germans, Russians… all have battled and perished either in an attempt to take over or emancipate the White city (Beo-grad), and their remains lie here. This city has been a face-off location for several empires, and its history, written at the intersection of two mighty rivers, effects the world as we know it. Today, it is the proud seat of Serbian governance. Join me on a virtual tour through time, where we’ll decode world politics, delve into geography, discuss geopolitics and answer all your unasked questions about the Balkans.

A highlight of my stay in Belgrade - This walking tour was absolutely amazing. Jovana was my guide, and it was felt like I was exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend for a few hours. I learned a lot about the area's history and politics in a digestible way. I really appreciated Jovana's candidness and how she shared personal stories. I highly recommend this tour. It was one of the highlights of my stay in Belgrade!

Couldn't Recommend More! - We had an amazing time on this tour! Marija is a phenomenal tour guide who's very knowledgeable, patient and understanding. She gave me the time to translate her words into Chinese for my family, and she had Chinese reading material prepared for us as well! She is also a very personable guide who really stayed connected and engaged with us throughout the tour. We learned a lot about Belgrade and Serbia from her and gained a whole new perspective. I totally recommend this tour for anyone who wants a memorable experience!

Perfect Evening Tour - The tour was absolutely delightful. Our guide, Maria, was nothing short of amazing. The pace of the tour was just perfect, allowing us to fully appreciate the sights without feeling rushed. I highly recommend taking the evening option in summer because the city looks stunning under the evening lights. If you’re planning a visit to Belgrade, this tour is a must, and be sure to ask for Maria as your guide. You won’t be disappointed!

Amazing tour! - My guide was Marina and she is absolutely wonderful! Not only is she knowledgeable (and very enthusiastic!) about the history of Serbia and Belgrade, but she is able to talk about history in a very engaging way. Also, the tour turned out to be private and I was able to ask a ton of questions to which Marina always had great and well thought out responses. Oh and she filled the tour with lots of cool Belgrade trivia here and there, it really made me see the city in a new light. Definitely highly recommend, great tour, worth every minute of my time and every penny!

Best History tour in Belgrade! - Our recent city tour of Belgrade was an unexpectedly delightful experience. More than just a walk through the city's landmarks, the tour offered a deep dive into the culture and perspectives of the local people, which was both enlightening and engaging. Our guide had a knack for explaining the city's history and culture in a way that was straightforward yet interesting, making complex topics easy to grasp. Despite lasting around 4 hours, the tour felt shorter because it was so absorbing. It wasn't just about seeing the city but understanding it on a deeper level, thanks to the fascinating insights and stories shared by our guide. The background information provided was surprisingly interesting, revealing aspects of Belgrade we never knew existed. Additionally, the practical tips on what to do and what to avoid in the city were a great bonus. These suggestions helped us navigate our stay in Belgrade (and Novi Sad) more confidently and enjoyably. In conclusion, we couldn't have hoped for a better tour guide and our contact person was very cooperative. If you would like to discover the rich history of Belgrade (and Serbia), i would definitely recommend this tour 10/10!!

Immersive experience! - Amazing, informative and really really fun! Although I've been many times in Belgrade, I must admit that I didn't know many of the facts that Vojin presented so effortlessly. History is unbelieveable journey when you have the right guide next to you. I'll be back :)

Unexpected tour through Belgrade - We had planned for a bike tour, but due to the sickness of the guide, we were offered the alternative of a history walking tour. We were a bit sceptical about filling 3 hours with information about Serbian history, but our guide Maria managed to keep it interesting and entertaining. she even showed us a few hidden gems in the city. We spent a really great 3 hours touring the city, learning about history but also the impact on modern day life in Belgrade. also the communication with the agency was super professional and quick. Very recommendable to do any tour with them!
