“Serbian Private Tours are the most amazing company. We totally messed up our dates and so we're not around at the time. They checked all ways, including A and E. My phone stopped working as well. What a mess. Anyway we eventually made contact 2 hours late when we realised our mistake. They were still waiting for us ang we dashed to meet our driver. Can you imagine any other company doing that. The tour itself was excellent, with visit to a monastery as well as a tour of Novi Sad. And ..... a visit to a local vineyard including a delightful lunch accompanied by large glasses of several of…”
Explore Novi Sad, Petrovaradin Fortress, Fruška Gora, Krušedol Monastery and Bermet wine on an 8-hour Serbian day trip from Belgrade.
“I would not usually pay £140+ for a guided tour, but it was one to one and Novika is a special guide. He is a polymath of great knowledge and humour and as such, my day was filled with insights into Balkan history, economics, wine, bee keeping, Balkan cuisine, music, architecture, politics etc. It was a splendid day and one which enriched my understanding of not only Serbia but the Balkan Peninsula in general. Not only that, but Novika obviously keeps himself well informed about global issues and has a passion for his work, the like of which, I have rarely seen. Top man, Top day!”

“This is a very worthwhile day trip and Jovana and Milos made it exceptional with their knowledge and personal warmth. It is an investment in time since the monasteries can be close to 2.5 hours from Belgrade but the day went by very fast and you see the mountainous beauty of Serbia along with the monasteries so important to early Serbia and today. Highly recommend taking the time to go see and learn about Serbia beyond Belgrade.”
