Excellent tour! - Excellent tour. Marko was knowledgeable, polite, engaging and a pleasure to speak with. My family of 5 was on the tour. Although we are Canadians of Serbian descent, we learned much from Marko about our history and culture. Would highly recommend this tour and Marko!

Fantastic tour. - My visit to Belgrade was made more fantastic thanks to the walking tour with Marko. The tour was fantastic, it took us to many historical spots and explained in detail Serbia's long and complex history. Marko was a great host, he was able to answer our questions along the way and point us in the right direction for things we might want to see after the tour. In every city I visit I go on a walking tour. This was one of the best. He did recommend rakia though and drinking that was a mistake....

Excellent introductory tour of Belgrade - My wife and myself enjoyed tremendously our Belgrade tour with Marko. He was knowledgeable, very friendly, fluent in English. He gave us a through description for the history of Belgrade, told us nice stories about the city and the history of Serbia, and at the end, we had the feeling that this tour should be the starting point for the introduction of Belgrade to tourists who come for the first time. Thank you Marko.

Rich History - Tour guide Marco made history come alive - the many battles for control of this important river Nexus, the empires and leaders that shaped Serbia's history, and the story in statues and architecture. Serbia has a rich and stormy past, that would have been hard to grasp without such a tour.

A great experience and insight to the city - This tour was so interesting and we gained a real insight to Belgrade and beyond. Neboja was so knowledgable and personalised the tour to the participants. He had a great sense of humour and made it a special experience for us. I would recommend this tour as it gives a fantastic overview of the city in such a short time.

Informative and friendly - Nebojša was an excellent guide. He mixed great knowledge of the city and its past with a nuanced view of Yugoslavian history and the challenges that still face the country and its neighbors. I learned a lot and enjoyed walking and talking with him.

Unforgettable excursion with an amazing guide - Our guide Marko turned these 3 hours into an unforgettable experience. He shared with us his love for his native country and its capital, showed us its most interesting places. Thanks to him we learned so much about Serbia, its history and the history of Belgrade. The route is very well thought through and 3 hours flew by so quickly. We highly recommend this excursion on the first days of stay in Belgrade.
