My girlfriend and I had no idea what to do in Belgrade, so I suggested we take this tour. The tour was spectacular and we had an amazing time learning the history of the city. More than the history though, we had an incredible time just learning what life was like for regular people. We hung out in a cool park, walked very local streets, ate like the city was our home. Really recommend this!

Marina was a wonderful tour guide. Not only did I learn a lot about Belgrade’s food and restaurant scene, but she was a fantastic source of information for all things Serbia. She very patiently and enthusiastically answered all of my questions about Serbian history, architecture, current events, culture, etc. After doing this on my first day in Belgrade, I didn’t need to take a general walking tour of the city. I also highly recommend the tour that ends in Zemun as it’s a lovely part of the city to see. She did a good job of mixing traditional food with new and upcoming city favorites as well.
She was also very COVID conscious which was greatly appreciated.

Me and the wife took the tour, yesterday, April 28th. Our guide was Marina, we worked with Maja at the office.
Maja was attentive and provided great service, with quick turnaround and attention to details.
Marina went above and beyond all the reasonable steps to provide the best experience possible. In spite of a rainy day, she made the tour interesting filling us with details and interesting stories as we walked and while we ate. She even took with her a detailed map of Serbia’s history, and was quite knowledgeable answering our questions about the past of this country, including the 90’s wars.
This was primarily a food tour, though, and we need to address that. The choices were shiny and delicious. I wish we had more room to enjoy all the good stuff that was served, it was quite impossible to finish it all.
In conclusion, we highly recommend this tour, and Marina.

I chose the food tour combined with the castle tour. It was supposed to be a group tour but I ended up being the only client that day, and was glad that they didn’t cancel and still honoured the reservation even for just 1 client. That’s a sign of a good tour company. I felt respected as a solo traveller.
The food was fun to discover and since I was alone I got to bring the leftovers home! The tour guide was fun and also included knowledge about the culture, I learned a lot.
The little gift at the end was a nice touch. I would recommend this tour!

I had a very enjoyable afternoon with my guide Maria. Yes you will be trying different Serbian foods but you will also be learning about Serbian culture. My guide Maria was warm and friendly and shared a lot about the Serbian way of life with me.

My friends and I had the pleasure of attending the Food & Culture tour of Belgrade with our delightful and informative hosts; Jovana and Marko The tour was extensive and covered the history and culture of the Serbian people and the wonderful food and drink it has to offer. We were thoroughly impressed with the professionalism, warmth and knowledge of our hosts. This trip has made this first visit to Belgrade very memorable, and I believe we have made a couple of friends too! This trip is extremely god value for money and worth every penny. For any connoisseur of food, culture and having a good time.

What a great way to spend our Sunday afternoon learning about Serbian food and culture. Enjoyed the pace of the tour and the different food locations we visited and didn’t feel rushed.

Djordje was awesome! An outstanding guide for a wonderful city! The food and drink were excellent and plentiful. Djordje was full of great information and insights to Serbian life…it was like having a good friend show us around! Fortune telling, learning Cyrillic, local market shopping…definitely a must-do for anyone visiting Belgrade!

I love travelling, eating and drinking and I always want to have the most authentic, traditional, local produce in the best places the locals love to be in. For my Belgrade trip I chose this Food & Culture tour and I was not to be disappointed! My guide for the 6 hours of indulgence was Đorđe, who was very friendly, polite and conversation flowed easily. The places we went to were fantastic. The food amazing and I was well and truly satisfied with what I got from the tour. Definitely money well spent. No matter what food tour option you choose, definitely go with an empty stomach and hungry appetite. Thank you for delivering a truly great experience!

Very nice tour! Even having a good knowledge of Slavic culture I learned quite a lot. Our guide was very professional and good at his job. There was no question he couldn’t answer. The food was great, Serbian cuisine is for sure one of the best in the world! Very nice tour! Even having a good knowledge of Slavic culture I learned quite a lot.
