Fantastic tour with Angela
This trip was truly a highlight of my visit to Belgrade. Angela was a fantastic tour guide and driver. She shared not only history and details of the locations but also made this such a memorable visit to Serbia, seeing more beyond the city.

See it if time permits
The guide was interesting and let us take our time to see things at our own pace. Big day, lots of km.

It was very well organized by Angela who is very flexible. She even asked where we liked to be dropped when the tour was finished.

Fantastic Small Group Danube Fortress Tour from Belgrade
Excellent full day tour through eastern Serbia visiting some incredible historic sites along the Danube. The itinerary included Smederevo Fortress, Ram Fortress, Golubac Fortress and Silver Lake, and every stop had something completely different to offer. A big positive was that it was a very small group with only four of us plus our driver Igor, which made the whole experience far more relaxed, personal and flexible than a large bus tour. Golubac Fortress was definitely a standout. The location overlooking the Danube is spectacular and the history inside the fortress is fascinating, including the recently opened archaeological areas with Roman remains, Ottoman bathhouses and original Roman bricks stamped by Roman legions nearly 2,000 years ago. We also got to see a live peregrine falcon and owl demonstration inside the fortress which made the experience even more memorable. The food during the trip was outstanding as well. Igor chose an amazing local restaurant with fantastic Serbian food and a beautiful setting, which really added to the experience. Special thanks to our driver Igor who was excellent throughout the entire trip. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable and made the day run smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to explore beyond Belgrade and experience the history and landscapes of Serbia.

A perfect excursion
Our guide Angela was one of the best guides we have ever had, although the excursion was in English and we did not speak much English, she tried to make herself understood perfectly. We really liked everything we saw.

Great experience with the three towers!
Excellent tour guide, Angela. Bus was very nice as well. Angela went out of her way to offer recommendations in Belgrade, she was fantastic. And the three towers visited on this trip are breathtaking!
