My plane was late, so I couldn't get in time for the scheduled tour, but my guide Tara was so kind and agreed to make a walk with me next day. The tour around the Old City of Belgrade with her was great: good temp, not much boring statistics or loads of historical dates, good amount of tips and tricks for the spare time and yes, coffee stop. Just as I like when travelling. Plus the weather was warm and sunny, so we could stand for a while to look at confluence of Sava and Danube. Good feelings and great memories. Absolutely recommended.

It was first time in my life that a group tour was conducted for me alone. I stayed in Belgrade just for 1 day, and could not reschedule the excursion, although it was raining heavily. And the beautiful guide Tara made the tour for me alone, without taking more money! a wonderful excursion, a very friendly guide and a very touching approach to tourists! I was almost crying, thank you guys
