Overview

If you want to know the basics about Belgrade and Serbia, spiced up with some funny stories, then this is the right tour for you. It might be a perfect, short introduction by a local, before you start exploring on your own. We will talk about some of the most important historical events, and how they have affected the present day, explain some of the things you see in the streets, recommend the food, drinks and places you shouldn't miss out.

Why we use one language but two alphabets, how come Belgrade has become one of the "nightlife capitals' and why this part of the world has been described as the "powder keg of Europe".. are just some of the questions we'll answer during the tour.

If you are not up for a longer tour, this is the experience you need.
