5.00Very informative and interesting tour. Led by our wonderful guide, Diana, she was extremely knowledgeable and asked for and answered all questions. She also did most of her presentation in shaded areas given it was a very hot day which I think everyone appreciated.
Informative, interesting tour. Definitely would recommend

5.00The tour guide was very knowledgeable!! We learned so much - and she was able to answer all questions asked of her. It was a hot day, and she’d pull the group off to the shade to explain.
Diana is a terrific Tour...

5.00Darko is a knowledgeable and engaging tour guide, who is clearly passionate about the subject material. He gave a well rounded, balanced perspective on many complex topics. This was our first introduction to the details of balkan history, and we found it all to be digestible and emotionally impactful, especially the details of the everyday person's experience in the war. Darko also had a great sense of humor that elevated the experience even further! The tour was also excellent from a logisticsl perspective as well. We stopped in shaded spots while listening to Darko's commentary. Excellent tour
Very interesting historical tour
