    Very easy way to see a lot of Serbia in a short time. Stay in one hotel and take a series of day trips to explore different parts of the country. Communication with the agency was good via WhatsApp. This is not a traditional group tour, you have different people on the day trips each day but very manageable for a solo traveller.

    We had a great time on this tour. Very well organized and the itinerary was followed as described in the tour description.The Victor Tours team was always there to help. Nice and clean hotels throughout the tour. Our guide Konstantin was very courteous, knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information about the history of the countries visited. In 10 days you are able to visit multiple countries and immerse yourself in this wonderful region. Highly recommended!
