Short walking tour that only took an hour but was full of new information that I had not heard even though I had been in Belgrade for a week already. Highly recommend the tour, the guide was very friendly and personable!
This lady gave us a clear picture of Serbia's history in an hour without becoming politically incorrect. Even with humor, she gave an overview of the dilemmas that the people now have to resolve independently.
Thank you so much! It was a pleasure having you on the tour. Warm greetings, Maria
