Guides such as Miloš, Novica, Stefan, and Novika are praised for clear history and lively conversation.
“I would not usually pay £140+ for a guided tour, but it was one to one and Novika is a special guide. He is a polymath of great knowledge and humour and as such, my day was filled with insights into Balkan history, economics, wine, bee keeping, Balkan cuisine, music, architecture, politics etc. It was a splendid day and one which enriched my understanding of not only Serbia but the Balkan Peninsula in general. Not only that, but Novika obviously keeps himself well informed about global issues and has a passion for his work, the like of which, I have rarely seen. Top man, Top day!”

We started the day at a monastery- Velika Remeta in Fruska Gora National Park. This had a stunningly beautifully painted interior, in a serene and peaceful setting. Novi Sad is a beautiful city.
