Informative and Fun

Doru_A, May 2024

Great trip and our guide, Jelena made it fun and informative. I would advise any tourist that comes to Belgrade to take this day trip. The speed boat on the Danube River was fun and the only way to see Decebal Head Statue on the Romanian side of the river.

Very good but long.

Charles_W, May 2024

Two major sites were 1st class exhibits and explanations. Guide and driver very professional. Van with 6 travelers very comfortable for the long ride. 12 hours long and "lunch" at 1530, so be prepared. Lunch at rural restaurant varied, tasty and inexpensive. Adequate stops for photo and toilet. Recommended. 5* if better schedule.

Great day trip!

Cynthia_L, Oct 2023

What a great day! Jelena was a great guide. Very informative. Golubec Fortress was gorgeous! Enough time at all the stops. Loved the boat ride.

Fun and relaxing tour

MinaStanikicova, Jul 2023

Very fun and relaxing tour! The highlight of the trip is definitely the boat ride although my fiance and I enjoyed everything. The tour guide, Jelena, is very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time! The only thing I would suggest is to go in spring or autumn instead of summer, because it's incredibly hot.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Dear Mina, We can’t thank you enough for the kind words about our tour. Your review means a lot to us and lets us know we’re on the right track! Best regards, SIT Team

Great day for us and an excellent tour. One of the best I have been on!

David_D, May 2023

The fortress was one of the best castles I have seen, very much something out of Game of Thrones. The guide was one of he best I have been with in my travels around Europe-as this is my 7th trip. The driver was also very safe and excellent. It was an excellent trip.

Even though the weather was not so great - to say the least - I have enjoyed this tour very much!

Visiting Golubac and the speed boat on the Iron Gate should be just mandatory =) !

Dimitri_A, Sep 2022

I would like to start the review emphasising how wonderful Nina (the guide) has been through all the trip, really paying attention to making the travellers feel at home, telling so many bits about Serbian history, tradition and day to day life and patently answering all my questions! Bogdan (the driver) is just adorable and a really good professional! If you are mad about medieval stuff like me, Golubac is just something not to be missed, a stunning castle by the Danube! A really well preserved fortress ! Then if you really wanna see the Iron Gorge and the main spots on it, it definitely needs to be from the river. I would highly recommend picking this tour to enjoy the 1 hour speedboat ride!

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Hey Dimitri! Thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review. We are thrilled that you loved your experience; our staff will definitely be happy to read what you wrote. We put customer experience and satisfaction as our priority, and your review reaffirms the hard work we put in every day. So thanks for your kind words and we look forward to seeing you again.
