“The tour itself gave you everything it said it would and the guide was very good, however I do believe it is definitely overpriced for what you get. In my opinion I'd recommend people bring their own lunch and skip the "restaurant" as was not worth the 1700RSD”

Visit Golubac Fortress on the Danube, then ride an Iron Gate speed boat and finish with a rakija distillery tour and tasting.

“The tour was interesting and exciting. The fortress is very impressive. Our guide told us the history of the fortress and even several legends about it. In the fortress itself you can take a walk in the park, climb the towers (there are routes of varying difficulty at different prices), visit the museum and do archery). I highly recommend taking a boat or safari. Don't refuse additional emotions and the opportunity to see the fortress from different angles! Organization. Keep in mind that the cost of tickets to the fortress, boat or safari, and lunch are paid separately. Also, pick-up and drop-off of tour participants take place at a specific…”

The day was well-organized and full of amazing sights and stories. We started at the impressive Golubac Fortress, then visited the fascinating Lepenski Vir archaeological site, and ended with an exciting speed boat ride through the scenic Iron Gate gorge on the Danube River. Our guide Jelena was knowledgeable and engaging, sharing historical and cultural insights throughout.

“Over all the trip was very good and our guide Zoran was excellent. However it was a very long drive there and back and it was difficult to hear Zoran while sitting in the back. Fortress was amazing. Lunch excellent and boat trip was very good. However the litter at the boat ramp was disappointing.”

“Jelena was a fabulous guide and Ranko was an excellent driver. Glubac Fortress was windy but worth the visit. The Palace had wonderful exhibits, a movie, and some medieval weaponry. We went to a wonderful archeological site that was very informative. Jelena put us through our paces on a hike to a fantastic overlook. The statue of Decelabus was amazing. A highlight for me. After visiting several sights we went to a lovely restaurant with terrific food and service, Mirocka Dolina. Definitely try the stuffed mushrooms and fried cheese with honey. The end to a marvelous day.”
