We had a great day. It was just as we hoped for. Our guide Jelica made it happen. She was on time to pick us up and previously informed us about the meeting point as our hotel was on the pedestrian zone. She gave very good guidance on the places we have visited plus on the daily Serbian life ::) Also, we felt very safe through the trip as our driver George was very experienced and cool:) Thanks for everything!

Really nice day trip, and lots of nice stops along the way. We had 2 hours of free time in Novi Sad, in addition to stopping in a charming town for a wine tasting, a monestary, and fortress with beautiful views over the city. Our guide Jelica was super friendly and knowledgable. Would recommend for a nice chill day with some walking, outside of Belgrade.

This tour was extraordinary. We learned a lot about Serbian history in a condensed and understandable way. Konstantin is a wonderful guide. The wine tasting in Sremski Karlovci showed once again what wonderful wines are produced in Serbia. I highly recommend this tour and will be touring with Victor Tours again.

Great tour. Not too long not too short. Loved the locations and the wine tasting. If I have to change something, maybe I wll add about 30 more minutes to Novi Sad.

Wonderful guide, interesting information, great tour group
