Great tour, even better guide - Fabulous day trip. Vladica was an amazing guide, full of great information about the sites visited and willingly answered other questions about the region. We had a beautiful lunch by the river and laughed all day. Can’t recommend Vladica enough.

An awesome experience that is a MUST DO while visiting Serbia - The tour was amazing from beginning until the end. We had an experienced and all knowing tour guide that helped us with all the questions we had even if it wasn't tour related. Vladica was like a friend to me that I had known for years and we were having conversations all the time. From the history of serbia to the history of the river Danube I have learned a lot of things. After the tour in the castle we went for a boat trip to an astonishing nature reserve where you will witness nature to all its glory. I suggest this tour to everyone.

Heavy rain, change of plans, spectacular day! - The morning of our tour, we worried the rain would ruin our experience. Much to our pleasant surprise, because of the rain we may have had an even better tour thanks to Bojan. The rain meant that the speed boat was no longer on the itinerary. The group voted that we visit the Tumane Monastery after the Golubac Fortress which was a beautiful experience witnessing devotion to the church and trying some of the best rakija. The highlight of the day was lunch with Bojan and the group where we were welcomed to ask questions about the history no matter how complicated. Bojan was candid with what was fact and what is opinion and offered multiple opinions even if they were different from his own. Bojan, thank you for an authentic experience. You represent Serbia amazingly!

Spectacular trip - We had a wonderful time seeing Golubac Fortress and Djerdap National Park on May 3rd. Bojan was an excellent guide, passionate to talk about his country, the sights we were seeing, and any other subjects. The speed boat ride is a unique experience and well worth the extra 25 euros. Besides the adrenaline boost, you get to see the area from a different viewpoint and get some amazing pictures to take home.

A pleasant road trip - Bojan is an awesome guide, very informative kind and friendly. But make sure you check the weather as the boat ride is only possible when it’s not raining! I advise the organisers to update the title as it could be misleading.
