It was a great trip, lots of fun but also very educational. The guide was very knowledgeable and the captain made us having lots of fun on his boat, also took some great photos of us. Definitely worth doing it this trip. Strongly recommending it

Beautiful fortress and great boat ride. Would have loved the boat ride to be longer. The guide was also worthwhile to talk to learn more about modern Serbia and its people

Had a great time on this tour. Everything went smoothly. The fortress was stunning and was so cool to see up close and personal. Great knowledge by the tour guide as well. Loved exploring. I’d say one downfall is that you only get to go on the first level of the fortress. It’s a little more pricey to go higher which I gladly would’ve paid because why wouldn’t you want to see it all. Not much of an explanation why we couldn’t. Just roped off and that was that. The boat ride was a lot of fun. Great to see the fortress from the water. Ripped around and gave everyone a chance to drive the boat and get pictures. Lunch was also fantastic. Great little spot on the water. Really liked it. All in all I thought it was worth the money and a pretty good tour

A wonderful one-day tour to Mokra Gora. Guide Milan is friendly, knowledgeable and loves his homeland, a true professional. The trip is organized with stops: to capture the landscapes, drink local delicious raspberry juice, and have lunch with excellent national cuisine. Amazing landscapes, mountains, Drina River, mountain railway. The trip impressed me with Serbian culture and local color. Milan is the best guide I have ever met. This tour left some impressive moments in the journey through Serbia.

Fabulous day trip. Vladica was an amazing guide, full of great information about the sites visited and willingly answered other questions about the region. We had a beautiful lunch by the river and laughed all day. Can’t recommend Vladica enough.

Great tour - such amazing beauty and interesting history. Speed boat wasn’t running was we got to see Lepinski Vir which was so much better. Our guide Vladica was very knowledgeable and lots of fun. Really enjoyed the day!
