If you have never been to Serbia, there is no better place to start your
trip than the capital. Although Belgrade has never been among the most
popular destinations of Europe, it offers a lot of attractions and
experiences to its visitors.
Belgrade is a friendly and welcoming city, where any newcomer finds it easy
to settle down. Only a small part of the population in the Serbian capital
consists of natives of Belgrade, with the remainder of the population coming
from all parts of former Yugoslavia. Belgrade is the perfect example of a
city very tolerant of newcomers and visitors.
Even a short stay could be rewarding. There is
one sole essential condition: the visitor should be accompanied by a good
guide in order to follow logically formulated itineraries and get a
meaningful experience, without wasting time or being confused. If you do so,
you can become fully acquainted with the sights and sounds of Belgrade even
during the briefest of visits.
If you are thinking about traveling to Serbia
and Belgrade, now is the perfect moment. Set aside your prejudices, follow
your heart, accept the challenge of novelty and be a genuine traveler:
discover offbeat, authentic cultural and other attractions you might have
never known existed. Surrender to the ebullient charms of the capital city
and immerse yourself into its fascinating atmosphere. And do not worry: no
one is ever quite prepared for this country.
This is exactly why Serbia is particularly attractive as a non-conventional
travel destination!

"Dear
Branko: I want to thank you for being my guide to the most wonderful tours I
have ever been on. Your knowledge of the sites visited and your tour guide
expertise were amazing. You made complicated history easy to understand and
fun at the same time. I would highly recommend your service to anyone
wanting to experience Serbia. I plan to return next year... as there is
still a lot to see!
"

"I have got Mr. Branko Rabotic to guide me around for
three days. That was wonderful and painstaking guiding. Thanks to his
intercession I could visit a high school as well, where I made small
talk with some students on the spot, whilst in a Vojvodina village I was
warmly welcomed by a farm family. I was delighted at such experiences.
Thank you so much!"

"
My
wife and I would like to thank you for your wonderful tour through what we
found to be an extremely fascinating city... There were sections of New
Belgrade and the neighborhoods around the White Palace that we would not
have been able to see without your tour. We also would have missed out on
the stories behind the sites that only a local can give."
Jesse and Fritha McCormick, UK
Dear Branislav,Once
again a sincere and warm thank you for the wonderful tour we had on
Saturday. My appreciation for the good choice you have made in showing us
the most interesting, specific and sometimes "hidden" treasures we could
have never (or very difficult) find out by ourselves. We could easily decide
afterwards where we would like to go or what we would like to see again or
explore in more detail. It was a real pleasure meeting you and I will not
forget to bring a Murfatlar bottle next time I am in Belgrade :-))
