I really enjoyed my experience with the tour, and the guide was excellent!
Tour truly engaging and beautifully curated. Isidora is an exceptional guide — deeply passionate about history, impeccably prepared, and gifted at helping you savor the city through her excellent English and her warm, attentive presence. An ideal introduction before exploring the city on your own.
I had an absolutely fantastic time on this walking tour in Belgrade. The small group size was a big plus — it allowed for a relaxed pace and plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Our guide Isidora stood out right away: professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm. She struck the perfect balance between sharing historical facts and telling engaging stories. You can tell she loves what she does. If you're visiting Belgrade, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Isidora. You won't regret it!
The three-hour walking tour of the city center of Belgrade, led by Isidora, was a wonderful introduction to the history of the city and of Serbia, and a good introduction for a first-time visitor like myself. Isidora was very well-informed, providing historical and social context to sites that I otherwise would have missed. Given that it was a very warm day (36 degrees C), she was also mindful of not overexerting our group, taking breaks to buy water and to find benches in the shade where our group could rest while she explained various historic sites. She was also quite helpful with tips and ideas for other places to visit in Belgrade, and encouraged us to message her after the tour if we had any further questions or needed further recommendations.
This was a great way to see some of Belgrade and to learn about its history! Isidora our guide was excellent personable and extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour.
Isidora was an excellent guide on this walking tour in Belgrade. Very knowledgable in the history of Belgrade and Serbia/Yugoslavia and that also allowed time at each stop to see and take photos.
Great tour with the most important sights.
Dragor my guide was extremely knowledgable and friendly. What an amazing way to see the important sites of Belgrade. Would definitely recommend.
Our tour was excellent. Our guide "Nash" was very knowledgeable, spoke great English and had a good sense of humor. Since our party was alone on the tour we were able to customize a bit and ask a lot of questions. It definitely helped us sense of Belgrade.
What a great tour. Unfortunately I don’t remember my guide’s name but he was amazing. Shared so much history and answered all of my questions. The spots we visited were very interesting. Despite the rain, the guide was very patient and helpful and was a perfect introduction for my stay in Serbia.
