Hi dear! We are beyond thankful for your 5-star review. Your 5-star review means a lot to us. Thank you for sharing your rating with us and the community. Come back soon! Best regards, SIT Team
Golubac Fortress was the one landmark I really wanted to see outside of Belgrade during my trip to Serbia, so I was glad Serbia Inspired Tours was flexible, allowing the tour to still operate even though we were below the minimum participant number with a surcharge. Jelena was informative and energetic, and our driver, Milan, made the tour extra special by sharing his rakia. In general, it was fantastic spending the day with both of them. The drive to the national park is long, but it's well worth it with the amount of stops this company makes.
Dear Ynna! Thank you for the fantastic review dear! We loved being of service to you and hope we can assist you again soon. Best regards, SIT Team
Jelena was a fabulous guide and Ranko was an excellent driver. Glubac Fortress was windy but worth the visit. The Palace had wonderful exhibits, a movie, and some medieval weaponry. We went to a wonderful archeological site that was very informative. Jelena put us through our paces on a hike to a fantastic overlook. The statue of Decelabus was amazing. A highlight for me. After visiting several sights we went to a lovely restaurant with terrific food and service, Mirocka Dolina. Definitely try the stuffed mushrooms and fried cheese with honey. The end to a marvelous day.
Dear Margot, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We’re over the moon to hear that you’re satisfied. It warms our hearts to hear such amazing feedback! Thank you once again! Serbia Inspired Tours Team
Our guide, Jelena, was amazing. Our driver, Ranko, was very nice and drove safely. Golubac Fortress is marvelous. We walked up into some ramparts for some spectacular views of the Danube River at its widest. There was an art exhibit in the palace and some medieval relics. Two people were dressed in period pieces and they let us hold a falcon. Our next stop was a very interesting archeological site. Unearthed in the mid-1960s by students from Belgrade University. Next we took a long hike to a spectacular overlook of the river. Then we went to the narrowest part of the Danube and continued to an overlook of Decebalus, a giant stone carving in the gorge in Iron Gate National Park. Magnificent!!! After a couple more stops Jelena took us to the Mirocka Dolina restaurant to eat. We shared fried cheese with honey, mushrooms stuffed with cheese, tomato, and ham. Then we had a schnitzel, Serbian style. It is meat, pork for ours, with cheese in the middle, rolled, breaded, and fried. It was served with french fries. Everything was delicious. I can't say enough about how wonderful this trip is.
Dear Margot! We would not be able to grow and develop without feedback like yours! We are thrilled you had a great experience with us and hope to see you again soon.
