The tour was exceptional - Nina and Zile were lovely, punctual and super attentive to the needs of the group, balancing well times of talk and times when people could just enjoy the views. The tour was also well structured in terms of time - so nothing felt rushed or dragged. I also loved that we didn’t stop for lunch - usually tours take you to bad/slow/expensive food and this was not the case at all here - we went to this very good bakery in one of the small cities we visited to buy snacks, which gave us more freedom of choice on when/what to eat. Last but not least, I’ll also mention that the organization was great - we received clear information on the logistics the day before and everything worked out smoothly. In short, I’m super happy with the tour and highly recommend it :)

The day trip was really worth its money. The fortress is impressive and can be visited easily even in the rain. We also really liked the boat trip. Our tour was conducted by Jelina.

Amazing experience. Very happy to participate on one of the day tours of Serbia Inspired. The group was small and lovely people. Our Guide Jelena and driver Milan were incredible, very warm people, hospitable, talkative and caring. The pickup and drop off were very comfortable. Iron Gate was very interesting destination as well. Overall great experience, if I’ll be in Serbia again I’d definitely choose their tours for sure.

Our third tour with Serbia Inspired Tours and once again excellent. Organisation and communication were without fault. We were collected on time as arranged at our address and were driven down for our day trip in an air conditioned mini bus with a plentiful supply of drinking water. Once again a great driver. There were 7 of us on the tour. All admission fees included. The castle was very impressive and Lepenski Vir is a must visit. The speedboat ride was great fun and we some very interesting sights. Jelena has an encyclopaedic knowledge of her subject and was able to answer the huge range of questions asked. She also has an excellent sense of humour and makes the day fun. I cannot recommend this company highly enough.
