The trip was already very interesting by itself but Jelena and Milan made it really unforgettable. - Indeed you could really feel how passionate they are about their activity, which goes well beyond simple professionality !
Jelena in particolar was never tired to provide both explanations on the site we were seeing as well as help in any other necessity a traveller could have (even beyond the trip).
Unfortunately there was a spanish guy (Esteban or so) who not only constatly abused of her kindness and patience but not having himself clear ideas on what he wanted, he ended to be extremely rude and unfair, which gave a kind of bitter end to our trip…
Shame on him (and this everybody’s opinion).
But as such kind of persons are luckily very rare, you will run very little risk to meet them and so you will be left with just the human and professional excellence of Jelena and Milan.
I cannot recomment it more !!! 👍

Great trip! - I booked this trip last minute, and got soo lucky!! This was an amazing trip, Jelena was a terrific tourist guide and Milan was a great experienced driver. Both very knowledgable of the region and culture. From the moment they picked you up at your hotel or accommodations to the drop off they were extremely friendly and professional. They offered tips and recommendations for other events, restaurants, and places to see. Highly recommend this well organized and professional group for your tours!

Wonderful tour - Excellent tour with lots of great views and historical elements. The speedboat ride was wonderful. There’s a bit of driving making this a long tour (ours took 12 hours) and we only got to the lunch break at 4pm but we had a blast.

Wonderful tour - This tour had everything we wanted - some history, some archeology and mainly stunning views of the Danube. We also loved the one hour speedboat tour on the river. This is a long but wonderful day filled with exciting activities. Our guide Nina offered interesting commentary at all the stops and took good care of us but would have been good if she was a bit more talkative.

Worth it! - What a wonderful day, despite the rain. Jelena is a great guide and goes the extra mile to help each individual in her group. It is a long day, but worth it to see and learn about Serbia, about the fascinating history of the fortress and about the unique aspects of the archeological site and its artifacts. There is a nice stop for lunch, but not until about 3 pm, so it may be advisable to bring some snacks to tide you over. We also appreciated the “rakia break” and the complimentary shot glasses😊

Great! - Thank you, Milan and Jelena! It was a really wonderful experience I wouldn’t have had without joining, especially river cruise. The trip was greatly well planned, and Jelena’s talking was sophisticated and of lots of witness. I also enjoyed Milan’s homemade rakija. I strongly recommend this tour. It would be a unforgettable experience.

A tour I will remember - I will remember this trip for a very long time. This tour is amazing you get to see the majestic fortress, you get to see the archeological site as well as a boat tour on the Danube where you will see many monuments that can only be seen if you're on the water.
Nina was an amazing tour guide. She's very happy to answer questions and help you with anything. Very knowledgeable guide.
Ranko is an awesome driver!
Highly recommend this tour.
