Iron Gate and Golubac Fortress
Our guide, Jelena, was amazing. Our driver, Ranko, was very nice and drove safely. Golubac Fortress is marvelous. We walked up into some ramparts for some spectacular views of the Danube River at its widest. There was an art exhibit in the palace and some medieval relics. Two people were dressed in period pieces and they let us hold a falcon. Our next stop was a very interesting archeological site. Unearthed in the mid-1960s by students from Belgrade University. Next we took a long hike to a spectacular overlook of the river. Then we went to the narrowest part of the Danube and continued to an overlook of Decebalus, a giant stone carving in the gorge in Iron Gate National Park. Magnificent!!! After a couple more stops Jelena took us to the Mirocka Dolina restaurant to eat. We shared fried cheese with honey, mushrooms stuffed with cheese, tomato, and ham. Then we had a schnitzel, Serbian style. It is meat, pork for ours, with cheese in the middle, rolled, breaded, and fried. It was served with french fries. Everything was delicious. I can't say enough about how wonderful this trip is.

Amazing Experience!
This tour was absolutely phenomenal! We had Nina as our guide and she was one of the best I've had out of all my destinations. Very knowledgeable, explained the history of the country very well and ever threw in various fun facts that you may not ever learn about. The food was also quite amazing. Tours like this make me want to go back and explore more of this beautiful country!

Awesome experience! Highly recommended!
Awesome experience! Well worth the money, and you get to see things many people don't. The trip is gorgeous, and the wonderful Jelena is not only knowledgeable, but super helpful, and has the kind of personality that can put a smile on anyone's face. This was a wonderful way to spend the day!

Explore Serbian history!
Helena was fantastic! She was very sweet, accommodating and super informative about the history of the places we visited. Loved being able learn so much about Serbian history. Even made a pit stop for dumplings for us! Must do in Belgrade while you are here!

Wonderful views, nature trails and Danube!
This is very nice and beautiful tour. Обалденно красивые места от которых захватывает дух. Очень приятный и профессиональный гид Нина, которая привела нас по восхитительным местам, показала крепость на границе с Румынией, виды с Дуная, рассказала о событиях связанных с историей Сербии, а также показала деревню доисторических людей времён раннего неолита. Мы получили огромное удовольствие от путешествия по золотой осени и от захватывающих видов. Рекомендуем от всей души!
