A super exciting tour. You learn a lot about the bombing and the history of Serbia.
Revelation of the horrendous & unlawful 78 day bombing of Belgrade. A short living history lesson on the historical breakup of Yugoslavia. Wonderfully insightful and patient guide. I could have spent hours talking to him of history and the geopolitics of his country.

A great opportunity to hear the Serbian point of view about the Yugoslav wars. In addition, lots of fascinating history about Serbia. There are not a lot of sites on the tour, but the ones that are included are generally interesting. Sometime it was a little hard to understand the guide, who was friendly and knowledgeable.
Tour is very fast, to go to a park and know stories we do not need to pay.The guide was fine, but the fault lies in who organizes.
Out guide Mateja was very knowledgeable and experienced, answered all our questions and we enjoyed this 2hrs trip in his car and walking very much!!! He is the best.Best
The NATO bombing of Belgrade in 1999 was part of the broader air campaign during the Kosovo conflict. For 78 days, airstrikes targeted military sites, infrastructure, and, controversially, some civilian areas. The operation aimed to stop human rights abuses in Kosovo, but it left deep scars on Serbia’s capital.
