Branko our guide made us feel safe and we love that we were brought to a local market and bought our “burek” there and yogurt drink. I like to go where the locals go rather than those fancy resto though we still love our starbucks more than any coffee shop. It was nice of him to also take us to one of his favorite place overlooking the city and treated us with drinks. We shared thoughts and ideas and respect each other’s opinion. We also love going to the NIKOLA TESLA museum, it was the highlight of our day. More power to Branko!

We learned a lot about the history of Belgrade. Our guide Timor told us some interesting stories. Good service; there wasn't enough ladies' bikes, but they immediately arranged another bike. We also got some good tips about bars and restaurants.

I had the extraordinary privilege of getting a private tour with Ivan. As a trained archaeologist, he was able to answer all my questions in great detail—it couldn't have been better! I'd love to do it again anytime.

Our guide Jelica was very polite and very knowledgeable. It would have been good to go the football grounds as there is a lot religious content.
