Eten en cultuur tour in Belgrado

My husband and I booked this food tour in May and were very disappointed, especially given the high price for two people. Our guide arrived late and mentioned he had been out partying the night before, which was very unprofessional. He also seemed inexperienced, and the tour did not feel well-led or engaging. The food and drink tastings felt limited for the price, particularly compared with other food tours we have taken across Europe. We also found that the Tripadvisor photos did not reflect the experience we had or the food we were served. I contacted the company directly with detailed feedback. They initially replied politely and said they would look into it, but despite following up, I never received any further response or resolution. Overall, I would not recommend this tour based on our experience.

Fantastic food and culture tour! We tasted a variety of delicious local specialties while learning about Belgrade’s rich history and traditions. Matija was a fantastic guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the city. He made the experience both fun and informative. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to discover Belgrade through its food and culture.

This tour was far more than just a food or city tour for me — it was one of the most authentic, thoughtful, and genuinely human experiences of my trip. Our guide, Mattia, managed to do something truly rare: he combined history, culture, food, humor, and human connection in a way that felt completely natural and sincere. He explains historical and political contexts in a way that is engaging, understandable, and never overwhelming. His storytelling has the perfect balance of depth, drama, and humor, and you can immediately tell that he genuinely cares about what he is sharing. What impressed me most was his honesty and grounded perspective. He never tried to romanticize everything or pretend that every place is perfect. Instead, he openly spoke about both the strengths and the challenges of the country, the culture, and even the restaurants we visited — always respectfully, intelligently, and with nuance. That level of authenticity created real trust within the group. The food experience itself was excellent. At every stop, he explained how dishes are traditionally eaten, what combinations work best, what flavors to pay attention to, and even what not to do if you want the best experience. It never felt like “just eating food” — it felt like understanding culture through food. But what truly makes Mattia exceptional is the way he interacts with people. He creates an atmosphere where real conversations can happen — about history, ethics, culture, personal perspectives, and life in general. He listens, reflects, jokes, and stays incredibly approachable throughout the entire experience. You can genuinely feel the effort and care he puts into every guest. One small moment stayed with me in particular: during one of the meals, he noticed that I was holding back a little and immediately put some of the best pieces on my plate, smiling and saying that he could tell I was too polite to take them myself. It may sound like a small gesture, but moments like that say a lot about someone’s character and attentiveness. Mattia is currently studying law, and if he is supporting his studies through tours like this, then I sincerely hope more people book with him. People with this combination of intelligence, empathy, honesty, humor, and professionalism are rare. Huge compliments also to the agency for working with guides like him. I would recommend this tour without hesitation and would absolutely do it again.

Maria was absolutely brilliant!! We couldn’t asked for a better guide. We walked around particular places and had their local foods and drinks. Maria talked in great detail Serbia’s history and culture with great passion and love for food (which we enjoyed very much). This was our first ever food tour and we recommend it to everyone to try it.

Great tour! Matija made the tour really fun! Definitely recommend this tour for an authentic Serbian experience.

Even though it was just me on the tour and it rained most of time, I still very much enjoyed the walk around Belgrade. Guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend.

Matija was a great tour guide. It was just my family of 4 and he showed us all the great places for food in Belgrade and its history. Highly recommend this tour with Matija!

We had a wonderful time with Maria She was the perfect host Food was authentic the walks through the different neighbourhoods was relaxed I highly recommend this tour

As the sole participant with Melica for this tour, she was extremely flexible and attentive to my interests. With excellent English, there never was a language issue. The food and beverage offerings were appropriate for a tour in Belgrade, and the actual walking was always comfortable and at a moderate pace. My favorites were the pizza slice (interesting topping) and "being like a student" and sitting talking in the park.

Good variety of food and hit spots I wouldn’t have on my own. Guide was informative and friendly had a nice time.
