“Vladimir was an excellent guide and extremely knowledgeable not only I in the history of Belgrade6 but overall history in general, not to mention his knowledge of football and basketball! GREAT EXPERIENCE”
“This was the first of two tours we booked with Victor Tours. Alexander, our tour guide messaged us the day before to introduce himself, and confirmed our time and pick up point, all very reassuring, for our first time in Serbia. He and his driver arrived promptly the next day. This half day tour of Belgrade guided by Alexander was very interesting and insightful. We learnt a lot about the city and its history, through Alexander. Alexander was also very considerate, concerning my mum, as she cannot walk long distances, and tailored the tour to ensure she could manage. Very highly recommended!”
