If you have an interest in brutalist architecture and/or seeing more of Belgrade and/or learning more about the recent history of Serbia and Yugoslavia.. this is the tour for you. Our guide Stefan was excellent, so knowledgeable and explained everything in a clear and friendly manner. He could not have been more helpful, it soon felt like a friend was showing us around. Everything ran smoothly and Stefan even shared some online resources after the tour ended so we could maximise our Belgrade experience.
