They offer this best of Serbia in one week which was in fact only 5 days as day 1 and day 7 were only airport transfers, and those tours are not your usual coach tours, basically they repackage their small individual tours and combine it as a hotel + + roundtrip airport transfer + tour package. Nonetheless I felt it was money well spent

First 2 days Miloš was my guide to Zlatibor and he was absolutely amazing, humours and willing to discuss all sorts of topics.

The third day I had Dragana to the Novi Sad, he’s very informative, but I felt it would be better if we could go there earlier so that we can spend more time in the town to visit the museums there

Next an excursions to the Golubac Fortress with Milica. although it advertised iron gate should also be part of the tour, I don’t recall doing that, it was replaced with Lepenski Vir.

The last day with them I had Belgrade city tour also with Milica. went to the Belgrade Fortress, Zemun, Avala Mountain and observatory, drove passed the luxury district of Belgrade and ended in Saint Sava. It was kind of disappointing that there was no introduction to the actual town with core history to what happened to the manipulation during the Yugo time and NATO bombings.

Hotel selection wise- I paid an upgrade to their 4 star package which was decent, if only they can guarantee you at the Hilton then it might be worth upgrading to their 5 star package. The Hyatt Regency is too far from the action
