How the Food and Culture Tour was born
We yearn to build a connection between people by presenting differences in cultures, customs and ways of life. By doing this we realized how universal the core values of all of us are.
We take the best food Belgrade has to offer and enrich it with stories about Serbian history and culture. We also like to share personal experiences with people coming to visit.
We want to share our love for Belgrade that grows bigger every day!
A few words about friendly faces you will meet at the tour
F&C host
Serbian literature teacher and wanderer
Had the rare luck to be born and raised in the city dearest to her heart. Her drive to explore took her on many travels and what she loves the most about them is that they always end back in Belgrade.
Reading through endless streams of awesome Serbian books, she became mostly interested in the oral tradition. Epic poems or wise advice, jokes or myths, she enjoys the moment when literature becomes alive. No matter the time of the day or night she is always eager to tell stories as well as to listen to other people sharing theirs. There are no great stories without great company and great atmosphere and she believes Belgrade offers it all.

Both a teacher and a guide, she delights in sharing some of those stories she’s come across.
