Núria Vilamajó – Spain

IThe tour was great, but what really made it special and enjoyable was our guide, Marko. He was very patient, kind and attentive; he explained clearly and was always ready to answer any questions. You could tell he knew the place well and enjoyed what he was doing, which made the whole tour even more interesting - a totally recommendable experience with Marko!

Aneta – Poland

A great daily trip, under the super guidance from Jovan - who is knowledgeable, reacts to even small requests, and attentive, and also a great driver..:) One of the highlights (house on the Drina) was less spectacular in the beginning of May as one of the walls was dismounted and color still kept as brown (in the photos dark red). Train ride is fun, with 30min break in the middle, and we had a super stop for lunch.

Full description

You will be collected from your accommodation in Belgrade and driven to the countryside of Western Serbia, which is known for its wild and untouched nature. For just over two hours, you can relax and enjoy the beautiful landscapes while listening to interesting stories about this part of the country from your guide.

Your first stop will be the Sargan Eight train, and we'll ride this narrow railway. You will pass several viewpoints of the stunning Mokra Gora along the way. The authentic cars with wooden seats, wood-burning stoves, and characteristic rattling sound will take you back to 1925, when this railway was put into operation.

After the ride, continue your journey to the nearby Mećavnik, which is known as the Wooden City. The famous director Emir Kusturica decided to build it while shooting his film Life is a Miracle. Here, you will stop to enjoy a traditional lunch.

You will stop at an amazing viewpoint and then head to Bajina Bašta, a small town in the foothills of Mt. Tara. Here, you will see the world-famous attraction The House on the Drina. This is an isolated house made of logs perched precariously on a river stone.

After the meal, you will head back to Belgrade, arriving late in the afternoon.
