Very interesting, informative bike tour with some socio-critical comments on the architecture, the history and present of Yugoslavia and Serbia. Our guide, Sarah, was very engaging, helpful and communicative. Her English communication skills are outstanding and she always made us feel like we were kings as customers. The flawless functioning of vintage bicycles, given the suboptimal quality of the road surface, could still be improved. We were completely satisfied with our experience and thanks to the chosen cycle route and Sarah's explanations, we were able to get to know Belgrade from a completely different, less touristy side.

We had a fabulous tour of the city. Our guide Jelena went out of her way to ensure that we saw all of the main attractions and more in our one day tour. And the driver was also excellent ensuring that he got us to as many attractions as possible despite road closures due to the marathon that was on. Highly recommend this tour!

It was a lovely experience! And the guide Stephen was just superb! So damn energetic, knowledgeable & humorous at the same time.. The best guide among the 3 that I experienced there.. He would go on & on without getting tired!

Amazing experience, excellent trip, with many information about the country and the history of the country!! Congratulations to Mr Konstantin,who gave us many information with the best way!!!
