All the cool things at Danube

5.00It was a very nice experience. Our guide Novica was very friendly, and knew a lot about serbian history, raki, and general good to know about. We saw the fortress, drove along the beautiful Danube, got to sit down at scenic spot over Danube. In addition, the Stone Age lepenski vir was amazing, I was not sure what we would see but it was one of the first Stone Age civilisation in Europe with 11 000 year old human statues. Afterwards we got to have dinner at a scenic spot of Danube. Long day but can definitely recommend, gives very good overview of several aspects of central Serbia.
Excellent tour program and excellent tour guide

5.00We really enjoyed our tour with Milos. He told us many interesting storys and funfacts about the serbian country and history. We could ask him many questions, he answered all of them. The landscape along the Danube was wonderful, the old castle and the archaeological exhibition were very exciting. We had our lunch in a small local restaurant with a beautiful view. We would definitely recommend the tour to learn more about Serbian culture. It was worth every dinar.
Excellent tour with Novi

5.00Many thanks to Novi for having us on your Danube - Iron Gate Tour today. Novi speaks many languages fluently and is really witty, was so knowledgeable about the area and the history and culture, not only did we learn a lot today but we had a blast doing it. Felt very safe with his driving in the fully climate controlled vehicle, had plenty of time to see and take in the views and take photos, and never felt rushed once. Excellent food and drink recommendations too. Would recommend this tour company to anyone visiting Serbia.
Highly Recommended

5.00Communications were prompt and pickup for the tour was exactly on time. My guide Stefan was very knowledgeable about the subject matter and was focused on discussing and showing me what I was interested in. He even took a slight detour off the standard tour. I highly recommend Danube: Iron Gate tour with Belgrade Walking Tours. Also, don't miss out on their free Belgrade walking tour-- a great tour that's free.
Great experience
