Explore Communist History of Belgrade, Serbia and Yugoslavia

Great tour with Aleksandar around Belgrade's hidden spots. Aleksandar is an amazing guide, very thorough with the explanations, entertaining and accurate. We discovered places and facts that we wouldn't have known otherwise. Highly recommended!

Aleksander is an energetic and engaging guide. He has a depth of knowledge about the history of the region and is great at communicating what is a complicated history! I came into the tour knowing almost nothing and feel like I learned so much. I highly recommend this tour!

To know something in its current state is to understand its history. This holds true for Serbia and its capital city, Belgrade; a lively yet gritty town. After having done a little bit of research on the history of Serbia and the former Yugoslavia prior to traveling there, my boyfriend and I decided it would be neat to find an experience to fill in some of the gaps. And indeed, Aleksander did just that. He curated a very cool walking tour of places we would have never found ourselves to help inform attendees about major historical milestones that lead up to the creation of Yugoslavia, and ultimately its downfall. All of it told with the expertise and nuance of someone very passionate about the subject. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in history, politics, or seeking the unexpected.

I recommend this tour to you. Aleksandar is passionate and therefore fascinating. My children liked it a lot too. His English is very clear and even I, who do not have a very good level, was able to follow everything. This tour showed things that we would never have seen without Aleksandar. He allows you to take a trip into the past with a lot of enthusiasm, to better understand the present. I recommend you.

A fun and engaging tour by a knowledgeable and articulate guide who speaks excellent English. More than the history of Serbia under communism, this is a history of Serbia itself with helpful supporting maps. While presented from a Serbian point of view - others might disagree with some of the opinions expressed - that’s to be expected in this locale and Aleksandar is welcoming of other perspectives. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed getting to understand and experience life and history during Communist times with Aleksandar, especially because he offered us a Serbian perspective of history, which was very refreshing. The maps he used for his explanations were accurate and on point, and the spots visited were really interesting. I would absolutely recommend this visit to anyone who wants to dig deeper into the history of Serbia.

Aleks is a very nice and good guide, who gives very good perspectives of the past history, and the future, for Serbia and Belgrade. If you are considering a guiding tour, I would recommend this one.

Alexandar was a brilliant guide. He showed us many places that I would not have known about by myself. He was very nice and it was a pleasure to be on the tour with him. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Belgrade!

Aleksandar is very well prepared and explains the history in a very structured and understandable way. One can ask questions and discuss with him. One understands the connections and the history of this country better afterwards. Very good!

I had an excellent walking tour of Belgrade with Aleksander Nole. He is incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the history of his city. What I appreciated most was that he didn't sugarcoat Serbia's past. He presented the complex history of Yugoslavia and the communist era in an honest, balanced, and thoughtful way, giving context without avoiding the difficult topics. It made the tour much more meaningful than a typical sightseeing experience. One of the most powerful parts of the tour was visiting the grounds of the former Sajmište concentration camp, where thousands of Jews and other victims were imprisoned and murdered during World War II. Aleksander explained the history with respect and sensitivity, making it one of the most memorable and moving parts of the day. If you're looking for more than just a tour of landmarks and want to truly understand Belgrade's history—both its proud moments and its tragedies—I highly recommend taking a tour with Aleksander Nole. It was one of the best guided tours I've experienced anywhere in the world.
