“We spent a day with Andrija as our tour guide to explore the area around Novi Sad. Andrija is both highly professional and super nice and knowledgeable. We had a thousand questions for him regarding Serbian history, wars, religion, traditions, food, family values, Serbian economy, real estate market, etc. He patiently and diligently answered each and every one of them in great detail. His depth of knowledge is really impressive. We left the tour with a great understanding of Serbian culture and history and with valuable impressions of the Northern part of Serbia. We highly recommend the tour and will gladly book with Serbian Private Tours again in the future.…”
