Architecture of New Belgrade - Brutalism Decoded

I don't normally leave reviews but felt impelled to in this case as the tour was so good! Ksenija provided all the historical background I needed to understand more fully what I was seeing on the tour. Everything was explained very clearly by somebody who understands the subject thoroughly. It was also so pleasing to be able to share my enthusiasm for Brutalist architecture with someone who herself is an aficionado. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough!

I took the “Socialism Architecture” Tour with Ksenija and really enjoyed it. It was fascinating to be taken around and see these buildings and spaces I had seen in pictures (like Genex) up close. Ksenija is very knowledgeable about both the architecture and the history behind it, and she was happy to answer all of my questions. I learned a lot and came away with a much better understanding of Belgrade and its history. A great way to spend a few hours and see a different side of the city. Highly recommended!

So i visited Belgrade this January and coming from a post-soviet country myself i was really igor to find out more about brutalist architecture they have there. Ksenja is the best guide u could ever find. she’s charming, very interesting and easygoing! the excursion was amazing! we got to find out a lot of interesting facts about all the buildings and monuments, moreover Ksenja doesn’t bore you with all the stuff like “this was built in the year…” - so you have to memorize all those dates, she tells you stories of those buildings and of the people who lived in them! Nonetheless if you get tired - you can do a snack-stop in some wonderful places Ksenja is going to recommend! So overall this was a 10/10 wonderful experience! Ksenja, thank you so much!

This was an incredible experience! Ksenia explained everything while we discovered the New Belgrade. she told me all about brutalism and life in the Socialist times of Yugoslavia, it was super informative and she also made it incredibly fun. Definitely a must do while in Belgrade. 10 out of 10!

The tour gave us an excellent overview of the socialist architecture and the city's landmarks of the era. The guide Ksenija was excellent in putting the architecture in a wider context. I loved her personal stories of growing up in New Belgrade during the last decade of the communist Yugoslavia. Something quite unique!

It really was a true discovery! We imagined the communist architecture differently. We were surprised to see a primary school with modernistic shapes in red brick, with a swimming pool! Genex Tower is absolutely worth seeing, like a spaceship, such a remarkable structure. Ksenija was super friendly and engaging, adding an interesting personal commentary on the architecture and life in Yugoslavia.

I booked this tour for my friends from the US and joined myself. For them it was genuine discovery, for me it was a reminder how things once were. Ksenija is an excellent guide, capable of pointing to the interesting angles beyond architecture

Ksenija was amazing, the tour was very informative even for native Belgrade citizens. We went on the tour because we love brutalisam and had a blast. One of my friends was visiting from abroad, and she enjoyed the tour as well because Ksenija explained everything in fluent English. Super thankful and a big recommendation for anyone who is interested in storytelling from someone with a lot of experience!

The architecture tour was brilliant, I highly recommend. I booked this private tour to do on my own with Kesenija who took good care of me, a very knowledgable guide who will answer any questions in depth and guide you through Belgrades brutalist landmarks. A valuable experience!

Myself being a Belgrade native, I thought I knew this city all too well. Realising I did not in fact know these parts of New Belgrade, I felt curious and so I decided to book this tour. The tour exceeded my expectations and made me want to walk around New Belgrade more often. This is great both for tourist and us, fellow Belgradians. Time well spent.
