We had a great time on our wine tour with beautiful wineries and beautiful wine. The tour is exactly as described and because we were traveling during this pandemic, we pretty much had most of these wineries to ourselves. The first stop was Despotika and a perfect start our day. The winery overlooks beautiful vineyards and scenery and we got 4 different types of wines. From here we went to a family house and had a wonderful lunch and also 4 glasses of wine to go with our meal. This is a true Serbian experience as you are in someone's actual house. From there we then went to a museum-like winery that gave us a sampling of wine. This use to be the King's old cellar and still has archives of old wine. A good stop and interesting to learn about. Our last stop was Aleksandrovic Winery which feels like a high-end winery that also overlooks beautiful vineyards. Here we sat until about sunset with delicious wine! We had a great time, and our guide Andrija was great. Also got some photos of our trip which was a nice surprise!! Overall highly recommend.

Novi Sad lies on the river Danube about 80 km north of Belgrade. This city is the capital of Vojvodina. It is the second largest and most visited city in Serbia after Belgrade. Novi Sad like Belgrade has a long history. The most famous attraction is the Petrovaradin Fortress,one of the biggest and most preserved forts in Europe.

We needed a transfer from our hotel for five passengers including a 2 year old and a 5 year old. We were traveling with our baggage, a one piece double stroller, car seats, and five carry-ons. Our driver Nikola greeted us on time, helped load our bags, was a wonderfully safe driver and then helped arrange to get carts for us upon arrival at the airport and loaded them up with all our belongings. It helped relieve stress and that departure confusion which occurs when traveling with children internationally. I highly recommend Feel Belgrade Travel for any transfer needs.

We've signed up for a tour along Danube that included Golubac Fortress and Lepenski Vir. We've spent most of the time driving and guide Mihajlo was pointing out interesting landmarks and local curiosities and sharing stories about them on the way. We were lucky to get an extra: a tour of local winery - I guess because we were a small group with quicker turnaround. We topped it off with a dinner in a local eatery. All in all, despite the long drive, it was very worth it. The trip was very pleasant and the fortress was a sight to behold. One tip: go in the summer. During the winter the best parts of the fortress are closed off to visitors.

I had a hard time finding a group tour for the Iron Gate so I was happy to find this group tour! I initially booked the Cruising the Iron Gate tour through a website for a company called Serbian Adventures, but it was actually run by Magelan Travel. I found the meeting point in the morning a bit tricky to find (meet at the bus stop across from the skate park). As best I could tell, I was one of only a few non-locals, but the guide did provide the information in both English and Serbian and it added a bit of adventure to the day! I really enjoyed the fortress (it's a few extra Euros to access the towers) and enjoyed the cruise along the Danube. The lunch stop was also a really lovely surprise! While it was a long day, all in all it was a great way to see a lot of lovely sights in one day.
