Travel friends - The trip was incredible.
We had a lot of fun.
Older people are a little more closed but young people are more affectionate.
We managed to enjoy the Nisville music festival.
It felt very safe.
We liked a lot.

This tour is great to see all of NiS! - Bane did a great job showing off his city and country. He is a book writer and everywhere we went people knew him. He also helped me with my COVID test prior to leaving the country. This tour shows a lot of stuff and his insights were good into the history. I learned a lot and would recommend this tour. Several things had limited hours due to CIVID, but he made it all work out. Also, went to a beautiful picturesque place in the mountains.

Show Me with Bane....... Go for it - Firstly I would recommend Show me to anyone they are a very professional and accommodating tour service offering great value for money.
Me and my friends went on the Monastery and cave day trip in early March with Bane and it was such enjoyable experience with very picturesque sights. Bane is an amazing character offering a wealth of information, stories, recommendation and experiences. He truly treats people like family going out of his way to make your day as good as possible....even going as far dropping us of as the airport after tour conclusion. Bane I thank you. I wish I had the time to go on more of show me tours and would defiantly go on another tour when I am back in Serbia.
All in All just Go for it.

Amazing experience - We took the weekend tour of Nis and its surroundings. Honestly we had high hopes even before meeting Bane, but Bane managed to surpass them. Bane is one of the most warm hearted people we have ever met with extensive knowledge of his town and Serbia as whole. The tours were very well organized, everyone got what he / she was looking for and that was because nothing seems to be a problem for him, the tours can be adjusted on spot according to ones preferences- Hakuna Matata!! Thank you Bane! Thank you Show Me! Milan, Pavel, Jana & Jan from Czech republic...

Great trip and insight into Serbia - We recently returned from a multi-day tour with Bane. We saw the main sites downtown (in addition to para-gliding) and the following two days we saw some monasteries, caves, and waterfalls. We had a wonderful time with Bane and enjoyed the trip very much. We could have rented a car and seen the sites on our own. However, with Bane we got a deeper understanding and view of the complex Serbian history and culture. Bane picked us up and dropped us off at the airport - making it a very easy trip for our family to do. I would definitely recommend using Bane if visiting the Nis area.

Grate trip in Nis with Bane - we had the best time in Nis with Bane who has an amazing knowledge about the places in Nis . He is very friendly and taking us all the places which we can see in short period of time. During the trip we had lovely local cuisine he introduced to us and amazing food. We had a really lovely time and fully enjoyed the two days we spend with him. He kept lots of surprises during the trip and best is visiting local farms and we plucked plums.
I highly recommend Show Me Tours for anyone who would like to visit Serbia

Best tour of Serbia and Niš - I did choose Bane based on the wonderful reviews here on tripadviser and I can only say I did the right thing. Bane made me visit beautiful serbian nature on a day trip (Poganovo monastery, Slavinjsko grlo and other spots of Stara planina nature park), we had tasty serbian food and then the next day his lovely colleague Milena drove me to Devil´s town. It´s very enjoyable to spend time with someone who takes pride in showing his country and picking the best bits. Bane made me feel like I was at home, he drove me also around Nis and gave me great tips. Thank you for everything Bane once again!

just Excellent! - I went on a two-day trip with Bane to see Nis and many of its surrounding attractions (e.g., Devil's town, Studenica monastery, Zica, Felix Romuliana, Manasija Monastery).
I had a long list of sights I wanted to visit but only had limited time.
Luckily, I found Bane, who really helped me to make it happen!
Bane was very accommodating and was happy to make changes and be flexible.
E.g., I wasn't able to make an earlier bus as planned and was only able to arrive in Nis at 4:30am - Bane was happy to picked me up at this early hour without a complaint.
I had a really lovely time and fully enjoyed the two days I spend with him. I learnt a lot about the country during this trip. Serbia is really a beautiful country and have a lot to show. I am looking forward to return for another trip, and will surely find Bane again to organise my trip.
Thanks again Bane!
