Excellent tour with Novi - Many thanks to Novi for having us on your Danube - Iron Gate Tour today. Novi speaks many languages fluently and is really witty, was so knowledgeable about the area and the history and culture, not only did we learn a lot today but we had a blast doing it. Felt very safe with his driving in the fully climate controlled vehicle, had plenty of time to see and take in the views and take photos, and never felt rushed once. Excellent food and drink recommendations too. Would recommend this tour company to anyone visiting Serbia.

Highly Recommended - Communications were prompt and pickup for the tour was exactly on time. My guide Stefan was very knowledgeable about the subject matter and was focused on discussing and showing me what I was interested in. He even took a slight detour off the standard tour. I highly recommend Danube: Iron Gate tour with Belgrade Walking Tours. Also, don't miss out on their free Belgrade walking tour-- a great tour that's free.
