Enjoyable vacation in unbearable heat of the global worming. - Ada, a very comforting park, including the Danube beaches, sports areas, restaurants, park, barbeque areas, a train to save the long distance walking.

Our second Explore-Belgrade tour! - We thoroughly enjoyed our Serbian royal heritage tour with Srdjan. We did the tour to Novi Sad three years ago on our first visit to Belgrade, so we wanted to see another part of Serbia and learn more about the history of the country of Serbia and it’s people. The first stop of the tour at the Avala TV tower was fun, offering beautiful views of the Sumadija countryside. The church of St. George was absolutely stunning. The mosaics were the most beautiful we have seen anywhere in the world. Even the basement of the church was filled with mosaics. We learned a lot about the royal family of Serbia, and the history Yugoslavia and the Serbian people. Srdjan was very patient and answered all of our questions! Finally, we stopped at Aleksandar’s for a delicious lunch. We highly recommend any of the Explore-Belgrade tours!
