“Thank you to Marco! This tour was absolutely amazing and exceeded my expectations! The natural landscapes along the way were breathtaking, especially during the walks and scenic stops. Visiting Golubac Fortress was like stepping back in time—its strategic position on the Danube River and the stories shared by the guide added so much historical depth to the experience. The highlight of the day was definitely the boat tour on the Danube at the Iron Gates. Cruising between towering cliffs and soaking in the beauty of this famous gorge was both relaxing and thrilling. We also stopped for a delicious lunch with a view, and there were plenty of great photo…”

“We absolutely loved this tour. A lot of history for one day trip. You get the impression that the time does not exist. At certain point you don't know anymore who was here first:mammoths, lepenski vir civilisation,Serbs,Romans,Othomans etc. One thing is certain though, as our kind and very knowledgeable tour guide Milan said, we are the only ones that stayed and continue to exist in this malting pot of civilisations.”
