    Very well managed and interesting tour. Hotels were good, no real worries. Plus theyre great when things go wrong. One hotel didnt have our booking so they immediately rang around and upgraded us 2 a 5 star nearby. We were the only people on our tour so had our tour guide Radenko to ourselves for the 8 days of the actual tour. He was great not just as a driver and guide but knew so many beautiful local places 2 eat, many with local specialties. It was a memorable trip plus well priced and well paced as well. We would use them again 4 sure

    Everything I did on the 5 days was good. Unfortunately, there were a lot of things not done that were presented in the tour brochure. For example, the optional Bohemian night in Belgrade was not offered, we did not go to the Monument to the Unknown Hero or Avala on the Belgrade Big Tour. In the brochure it states we will be dropped back at our hotel. This did not happen. We were dropped near the mall and had to walk back to our hotels, which in my case was around 1 kilometre. On the day of the Golubac Fortress and Iron Gate Gorge, the brochure states we were meant to go to the Lepenski Vir but we did not, just drove straight past the turn off.
