This was the best tour we have done our entire trip! Nina, our guide, was amazing and had such a natural wisdom and knowledge of Serbia- she even, with our wonderful driver Milan, enabled us to visit a site one of our party asked for as an extra. Both Nina and Milan were outstanding, accomodating and brilliant!
