Golubac Fortress day trip - Our tour guide Isadore was very knowledgeable and was extremely fluent in the English language. She did a great job of telling us the important pieces of history and also answered our questions very well. The food for lunch with an authentic family restaurant was excellent.

Informative tour and experience - This was an excellent tour. The guide was very informative providing not only the historical context to the sites we visited but answering numerous questions related to the recent history of Serbia and the region. I highly recommend this tour.

A day in Eastern Serbia - Great trip to Golubac Fortress and Iron Gate Gorge. Our guide Alex was friendly, informative and took care to make sure we were fully informed and also safe. Definitely recommend, comfortable mini bus trip. We had appropriate amount of time on our own and plenty of time to relax at the Eco restaurant.

Long Tour. We Expected More. - This day trip from Belgrade is much longer than it needs to be, but Serbia doesn't have many tourist sites so this is one of the main options. Our pick time was changed three times and we departed 30 minutes earlier than expected. After a couple hours you arrive at the Golubac Fortress which is nice, albeit completely rebuilt. The next stop is Lepenski Vir which is the site of a prehistoric civilization. It was interesting but could be seen in 30 minutes. They schedule lunch as the last stop which is at 2:30. Be aware of this as it was quite late for many of us. You eat at a couple's house and they charge approximately $20/person. They only accept cash and do not provide change. It was supposed to be a buffet but they said they had no time so they plated our food. If you have any dietary restrictions-good luck. Those who did simply didn't eat. We left lunch at 3:30 for the 2.5 hour trip back to Belgrade. It made for a long day to see two fairly uninteresting sites. The guide providing very little information and sat listening to heavy metal music on his phone the entire ride home. I'm glad we did this tour because there are so few options but can't say I would recommend it.

Okay tour. Bring your own food. - Tour was okay. As with these tours, it’s more of a sight visit and the sights are BEAUTIFUL! The lunch for 15€ was overpriced and average. Bring your own lunch is you can. I was fortunate to meet some good people on this tour.
