Jelena and Ranko were awesome! If you don’t have much time in Serbia, you should definitely book this tour! You even get to try rakia and visit some photo spots that aren’t mentioned in the itinerary ❤️

Jenniley – Malta

It was very interesting tour, our tour guide Jelena was amazing. She is very informative, and kept the tour alive with her joyful personality. All the places we went were worth going. The driver was also very nice, we did some Serbian drink tasting and also gifted us with a shot glass. Would totally recommend going.
