Great tour with the most important sights.
Dragor my guide was extremely knowledgable and friendly. What an amazing way to see the important sites of Belgrade. Would definitely recommend.
Our tour was excellent. Our guide "Nash" was very knowledgeable, spoke great English and had a good sense of humor. Since our party was alone on the tour we were able to customize a bit and ask a lot of questions. It definitely helped us sense of Belgrade.
What a great tour. Unfortunately I don’t remember my guide’s name but he was amazing. Shared so much history and answered all of my questions. The spots we visited were very interesting. Despite the rain, the guide was very patient and helpful and was a perfect introduction for my stay in Serbia.
Well worth the time. Guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Very good English and accommodated questions and requests. A great value!
Had a solo day in Belgrade and decided to do a tour. Tour guide was knowledgeable about Serbian history and his English was great. As a solo trip it was hard to get pictures and he was very nice to snap a few. This was also a great way to get a tour of the city for future exploration. 10/10 would recommend!
Really interesting tour. My guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour to get a good base about Belgrade
Fantastic 3+hour walk in Belgrade. Dragor is very informative. We highly recomend this tour, especially if you are only visiting the city for a couple of days
I joined the Red Belgrade Communist Tour on 20 February, and it was one of the most interesting tours I’ve taken. It was very well organized and full of fascinating historical insights. Our guide, Dragor, was outstanding—extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the subject. I especially enjoyed learning about the era of Josip Broz Tito. Dragor explained Tito’s leadership, Yugoslavia’s unique position between East and West, and everyday life during that period in a way that was both informative and easy to understand. The stories and context he shared really brought that time to life. Walking through Belgrade while hearing about its socialist past gave me a completely different perspective on the city. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in history, politics, or the legacy of Yugoslavia.
Our tour guide Marko led us on a wonderful tour of downtown Belgrade, sharing the detailed and nuanced history of Serbia. Stops included a great collection of famous places and lesser known spots that were equally fascinating. Thank you Marko!
