I was incredibly fortunate to come across Belgrade Private Tours in advance of my visit to Serbia, and even more fortunate that due to the COVID slowdown, Nikola was available... read more on short notice to guide me for two days in and around Belgrade, and also on a Panonia private tour to the Kovilj Monasterty, Novid Sad, Sremski Karlovci, and a fantastic local winery, among other sites.

Simply put, Nikola is a master host, and the title of "guide" does not even begin to capture his many talents, including his seemingly endless knowledge of history, language, and politics, among many other disciplines. Having traveled throughout the Balkans on prior occasions, I can honestly say that I came away with a far better understanding of this complex region in my two days spent with Nikola than I did in weeks of independent travel. In fact, Nikola even provided great insights into places I had visited on my own years earlier in Croatia, Montenegro, and Slovenia!

And while Nikola provides vital context to Serbia's centuries of history at the crossroads of the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires, it's not all history and politics. My tours with Nikola were great fun much like time spent with a good friend, as we shared meals and coffees along the way, and chatted about life in modern Serbia, the Balkans conflict of the 1990s, and many other topics. And to top it all off, Nikola was kind enough to snap pictures along the way and email them to me when I got home!

In sum, a tour with Nikola is an absolute no brainer if he is available (and that is a big if, as he regularly guides international and Serbian groups throughout the Balkans and Europe). You simply cannot cover as much ground or material on your own, and it is great fun to travel through Serbia with a guy as fun and knowledgeable as Nikola, all for a price that is far too reasonable. Contacting Nikola is the best decision you will make on your trip to Serbia!

  My husband and I had a fantastic time exploring Serbia and it's all thanks to Nikola and Belgrade Private Tours. Nikola understood our requirements perfectly well and that we... read more didn't need a conventional "tour guide" taking us through every possible "touristy" experience (though I'm sure they'll ace that too!).

He designed a flexible yet very detailed and enriching 3-4 day tour for us around Belgrade and the Mokra Gora mountains. We saw and experienced places and things which were not planned and that was the best part of it all. Nikola was super informative about the history of the region, art and culture, good food in Serbia and excursions -- all that we were after! and this came with a very affable, easy-going and efficient style! He went above and beyond our expectations with the tour and we are so happy to have made a new friend too! Will definitely be back!

  Discovering Serbia was so much fun with the fantastic team of Belgrade private tour. We explored Eastern Serbia on the Resava tour and Northern Serbia on the Pannonia tour over... read more 2 days with our wonderful friend Nikola.

From the natural beauty of the caves and waterfalls to the quaint towns and rich architecture, Serbia has so much to offer and, staying true to his name, Nikola was the best person to discover this land with. He unfolded the history of the region and his stories of the socio-economic, political, linguistic and other influences of the places captured our imagination. His in-depth knowledge, varied passions and diverse world experiences came through in our conversations.

We also enjoyed the delicious local cuisine and have become kaymak lovers for life! You definitely should not miss wine tasting too with vibrant Vera at her family winery in Sremski Karlovci.

We encountered quite the weather spectrum in December but come sun, rain, wind or snow, Nikola's enthusiasm was on point.. always accommodating and making sure we get the best experience during the trip.. pictures, souvenirs, sweets, hot coffee.. he ensured we got it all..!

Travel is just as much about the people as the place.. so thanks to Ana who communicated and organized everything so well, to the warm welcome we received from Vlada and especially to Nikola, with whom we loved exploring this beautiful country! Definitely recommend this team and hope to visit again..

  We had a wonderful day with Miroslav. He showed us the sights all around Resava tour and we discussed Serbian/regional history, culture and politics. He was able to cater to... read more our specific interests and did not rush us at any point even though we went way over the 1 hour original tour time. We would highly recommend this tour as you get to see all the main tourist attractions in one day. Also, there’s nothing better than having a local showing you around. Miroslav also helped us with recommendations for the rest of our journey. We had lovely time with Miroslav showing us around, explaining about everything which came our way including the sightseeing options. He introduced us to some delectable Serbian cuisines, which my family enjoyed thoroughly. Being vegetarians, we have very limited options, but still he helped us with lot of options. Thanks a lot!!!

  Archeological site especially the mammoth skeleton,
Golubac fortress.
Our tour guide Mr Nikola was very friendly and very informative. We really had a very good time.

  Had an awesome day with Nikola heading to Topola and then wine tasting in the Alexsandrovic Winery followed by dinner at the Lovacki Raj restaurant. Very informative and personable tour... read more and would strongly recommend Nikola and his company. Thanks for a great day

  Danube boating trip was my favourite, spectacular view of the mountains both sides. One of my best experience in the whole trip. We also been to iron gate, reminded me... read more the Game of Thrones Iron gate Castle.

  I have asked Belgrade Private tours if they would support and guide me for a vaccination in Belgrade. As Serbia is offering the non MRNA and Vector vaccines eg Sinopharm... read more i booked the package: pickup at Airport, bring to vaccination station and bring back to Airport on same day. Nikola was punctual, very supporting and helping and I could realize my goal to get the vaccine i wanted.
As I had some more time, Nikola brought me for a walk to the river and we had a nice walk and I got some insights from Belgrade.
Back at home I realized that the vaccination certificate had the wrong passport number on it, they added my ID numer to the pasport number and vice versa. Ive tried to solve it by my self but as all is written in serbian language it was difficult, i asked Nikola for help and he could solve the issue, he went to the vaccination station next day and corrected the mistake with the team onsite. All in one Belgrade private tours is very flexible not ony for sightseeing, also for such special trips. Very reliable, professional, helpful, and trustworthy. i can highly recommend Belgrade private tours.

  Excellent Belgrade Private Tour - Excellent day spent in the company of private tour guide, Nikola, exploring the various sights in and around Belgrade.
We booked the 4-5 hour tour of Belgrade and were picked... read more up from our apartment by Nikola in a rental minibus at 10 on Friday morning; 8 hours later, we retired to our apartment, exhausted but exhilarated by a fascinating and stimulating day touring around Belgrade and its suburbs.
Our tour guide was Nikola and he kept us entertained and engaged throughout the day with a seemingly endless array of anecdotes and historical insights into Belgrade and Serbia. He was very friendly, spoke excellent English and was great company; the hours flew by.
We toured around various sights (St Sava temple, Topcider Park, Zemun, central Belgrade, Kalemegdan Forest) and stopped off for coffee and later for lunch at a delicious Zemun fish restaurant on the banks of the Danube. All in glorious sunshine !!
We ran out of energy long before Nikola did !!
Fabulous day, engaging host, highly recommended and, certainly, value for money.
