Belgrade Private City Tour – Metropolis Between East and West

After pickup you'll go straight to the fortress. Walls of Belgrade fortress have many stories to tell, as they witnessed around 2000 years of history. Here you will learn why Belgrade is called "Rampart of Christianity" and which big empires controlled this area. As you walk through it, you will hear many Turkish terms like sahat tower, turbe, stambol gate. Each of these words indicate important parts of the fortress that the guide will explain during the tour. Many interesting sights to see and stories to hear, all of that will be provided from your private guide.

During the tour through the Fortress you will walk by the open exhibition of Belgrade Military Museum. Here you can see weaponry from WWI and WWII, but also a '99 Yugoslav Army missile launcher which hit and brought down "invisible" F-117 stealth bomber. You'll learn from the guide how Yugoslav Air Defence managed to "see" it on the radar and hit it.

Standing in front of the Fortress, the Kalemegdan Park is nowadays an integral part of the complex and open public park. But in the old Ottoman days, it was a battlefield. Here you'll learn from the guide what the word Kalemegdan means and hear the story about the monument "Gratitude to France".

Along the way, when you move from downtown Belgrade to Zemun, you'll drive through Kosancicev Venac area with the most famous landmarks: St Michael's Church, Princes Ljubica's Mansion and Patriarchy.

The most interesting and intriguing part of Zemun is Gardoš with its old houses, churches and hidden corners. Here you can feel the spirit of the local life and you will feel like time here runs slower, probably because people are more relaxed than in the busy streets of Belgrade. At the very top of Gardoš is the Millennium tower which oversees the area. It was constructed by Hungarians in order to mark one thousand years of rule in this territory. From this place you will enjoy breathtaking view of Zemun and the Danube.

In the downtown Zemun you'll experience farmer's market rich with fresh seasonal vegetables, dairy, fruit and all kinds of homegrown food. If you like to try local tastes, farmers will be happy to offer you with a few bites of their products.

After we walk down from Gardoš we will explore rest of Zemun. You'll get to enjoy old streets, authentic houses and main square. At the end you'll enjoy beautiful promenade on Danube's bank.
