Tour Flow

After #YourSerbiaHost picks you up from your hotel or other address in the city (the usual start time is 10am) you’ll head to the first sight on the route, a plateau in front of The Old Palace. The Old Palace, today’s City Assembly of Belgrade together with The National Parliament on the opposite side of the plateau is the venue which for the people of Belgrade has great importance. We celebrate major achievements of Serbian athletes, but we also protest and change political regimes here.

Further on you’ll continue to Dedinje, Belgrade’s most prestigious residential area. Here you’ll witness two aspects of Serbian society: the royal heritage reflected in the compound of The Royal Palace, which belonged to the last Serbian royal family Karađorđević and The House of Flowers (closed on Mondays), the mausoleum of communist leader Josip Broz Tito – former Yugoslavian president.

Another must on the itinerary is The Church of Saint Sava. It’s not only that it’s the biggest Orthodox Church in the world, but it also impresses with its internal decorations done in mosaics. The gold plated mosaics were just finished during the 2020 and 2021, even though that the construction process started back in 1904. More details you’ll learn on the spot while the Belgrade private city tour advances.

Next stop after the church is The Republic Square known for The National Theater, The National Museum and The Statue of Prince Mihailo. You’ll explore entire city center on foot and you’ll cover the legendary landmarks of the downtown Belgrade: Prince Mihailo’s Street, King Peter’s Street, The Church of The Holy Archangel Michael, also known as The Orthodox Cathedral, The Question Mark Tavern, which is the oldest operating restaurant in Serbia.

At the last spot you’ll have a chance to take a break in an authentic ambience. Over a cup of coffee or drink we’ll summarize the Belgrade private tour before we take you back to your drop-off location (the usual finish time is around 2pm).

This is a four hour driving and walking tour of Belgrade that is perfect for the first time visitor(s). My tour guide, Vlada, picked me up promptly at my hotel at 10:00 AM in a comfortable car with A/C and tunes (for those music fanatics out there, Vlada has great taste in music). As there was a chance for rain, Vlada thoughtfully obtained a second umbrella for my usage and insisted on carrying it for me during the entire tour. Vlada took me to the major attractions and professionally provided detailed historical information about each location, as well as the current status, as applicable. Vlada was extremely accommodating in stopping for photo opportunities whenever they arose, and he answered all of my questions thoroughly. The best part of the trip was near the end, but it is a surprise that you must experience for yourself! Because of this tour, Belgrade is now on my list of favorite cities in the world - highly recommended!

This company is highly rated on Tripadvisor and I agree with that. We took the "Belgrade for Beginners" tour. We were driven around the city by our very knowledgable and personable tour guide Dana stopping at various places and all the while getting interesting commentary about the city and its history. I highly recommend this tour and especially recommend our tour guide Dana.

We learned a lot about Belgrade spending a few hours together with our guide Dana. We can highly recommend Belgrade for beginners for first time visitors to Belgrade.

I was lucky to have Miljan as a guide for my two days in Belgrade. Professionally, he is punctual, flexible, and knowledgeable. Personally, he has a great sense of humor and open-mindedness, and is someone who will make you feel comfortable. Miljan also was very thoughtful, with providing us snacks and drinks for the long drives, and often checking in to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Prior to the trip, he also spends time planning with you over email to make sure he understands your needs. I highly recommend Miljan as a guide.
