It was great one day trip to Uvac Nature Reserve with great guide Jelena and driver Ljuba. Uvac is beautiful place. Bellow is link to video from our trip: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PUSZFYEwS58&ra=m

To be held in such high regard by our customers is surely a dream come true for us and this is motivation enough for us to keep scaling greater heights. We are looking forward to your return. Best regards, SIT Team
The view was magnificent. During the boat trip, the griffon vultures circled overhead and the ice cave was also spectacular. However, the mountain hike had it all. Slippery, steep and heavy, only for athletic people with condition. But since we had gotten the best and most professional guide of all in Jelena, everyone came down the mountain without accident and in one piece. She speaks perfect English and just knows everything about her country. As a surprise, there were still warm pancakes on top of the mountain and 2 schnapps to try as a thank you. In addition, I was dropped off outside my hotel on request as I did not want to go back to Belgrade. George, our driver was very prudent and professional and the air conditioning was always set appropriately. The car was very well maintained and noble. A great tour! ****

Amazing views, took many photos and recorded a lot of videos!!! Hiking, boat ride, drive for a full day, all day long was full with activities

To be held in such high regard by our customers is surely a dream come true for us and this is motivation enough for us to keep scaling greater heights. We are looking forward to your return. Best regards, SIT Team
Stunning view, both giude and driver were amazing. Only thing i would change to include some Monastaries i think on the road was one of the oldest
Dear Dejan, We are really happy and overjoyed for your kind words. It's encouraging to hear such beautiful comments from you! Regarding the duration of the tour - it can not be shorter since this tour combines cruising, hiking and visit to the Ice Cave and we are just willing to show every corner of this magnificent canyon. You must admit that it is the most gorgeous spot in Serbia! :) Once Chinese people finish the highway it will be even easier to reach this place but now it takes at least 3 hours and 30 minutes as you know. During the tour you are passing through Ovcar Kablar Gorge Valley, and we are not able to make a stop at any of the monasteries since we have a certain schedule regarding the boat cruise and we need to be on time because of the other travellers as well. The tour is only focused at the Nature Reserve and that is Uvac. Have a wonderful stay in Serbia and certainly we will try to improve our services in the future if that is possible and doable. With regards, Serbia Inspired Tours

Amazing trip! + comfortable car +pleasant guide Jelena with perfect English. Jelena helped us to take wonderful photos in spots. Also recommended us some traditional food at local restaurant and helped to make the order. Moreover, she gave us some tips for our trip in Belgrade. + well done itinerary. Very good points: Boat trip to ice cave and to Uvac view points. And we had a dinner at local restaurant with amazing views and tasty food. we had a wonderful journey with Jelena and the driver, Ranko. The entire experience was truly memorable. We were incredibly impressed by the breathtaking views of Uvac (and all the other view points) and the well-organized tour the team provided. Jelena is exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. She shared fascinating insights about the places we visited, making the tour both educational and enjoyable. Ranko was an excellent driver, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride throughout. The attention to detail and the thoughtful itinerary made this journey stand out. We felt well taken care of from start to finish, and every aspect of the tour exceeded our expectations. We are absolutely in love with the journey they organized for us and can't thank enough for such a fantastic experience.

It was great to make this beautiful trip in the company of Bogdan and Jelenka. The Serbia Inspired Tours company is lucky to have them on their payroll. The pick up was right on time, the driving skills in a challenging weather were impressivr, the sense of humour was unbeatable, and the knowledge of Serbia and the region was something to admire. The whole group was looked after well, we were offered water, breaks on the way, plazma and a homemade local speciality when we got on the boat. I found the walk inside the less explored cave fascinating. We made it all the way up to the three peaks and down the cliffs safely. The place where we stopped for lunch had a very good selection of dishes and it overlooked a family run farm and a stable. I hope I will be able to come back again soon. You can book the trip via the website or online travel sites and apps.
