On this tour, we will cover everything - Serbian culture, past and present times, the most intriguing historical events, traditions, lifestyle, and hidden gems.

If you want to experience Belgrade like a local, feel the authentic vibe of the city, and understand Serbian culture, this is a tour for you.

Your host will be a girl born and raised in Belgrade, madly in love with Serbia, who obtained formal and practical knowledge in Serbian tourism development and strives to share her passion and personal experiences with you!

I don't want you to feel like a guest in my country. I want Serbia to become your second home.

Live like a Serb for a day with me! :)
