Me and my friends took a tour of Belgrade with Maria and it was absolutely fantastic! The city is full of vibrant energy and rich history, and our tour guide was an expert at showing us all the best parts. She was knowledgeable and passionate about the city's history and culture, and she made sure we saw all the important landmarks and monuments. But what we loved most about the tour was getting to experience the local culture and way of life Marija presented.Привет!

Привет! Я хочу поделиться отзывом на экскурсию по Белграду, которую провела для нас Мария. Итак, что дано: 2 дня в Белграде. Что хотим получить: узнать о культуре, еде, об истории и почему в Сербии так любят Россию? Что получили: все и даже больше! Тяжелый налет коммунистического прошлого, переплетается с австро-венгерской архитектурой и разрешением курить в кафе и ресторанах. Много ходили и много задавали вопросов. Честно, на рассказе о бомбардировках НАТО я ревела белугой, а разрушенное здание министерства обороны Сербии привело меня в кромешный ужас (его не сносили и не восстанавливали, for memory). Мы задавали много вопросов, потому что знаем только западную либеральную позицию. Как сказала Мария: «на одно и тоже событие - у каждого своя собственная история и если вы выйдете за пределы Сербии, вам расскажут совсем другое». Это была очень наполненная и интересная экскурсия. Лично я вернулась из Сербии с флаконами духов от парфюмера Sava, о котором прочла у нее в блоге. Рекомендую! Спасибо, Мария, за ваш труд и создание уникального ресурса alternative Serbia 🇷🇸 ❤️Onze lokale gids, Marija, liet ons plekken zien waar je wellicht zomaar aan voorbij loopt.

Onze lokale gids, Marija, liet ons plekken zien waar je wellicht zomaar aan voorbij loopt. Ook was het heel interessant om alle verhalen en ervaringen van haar te horen. Overal konden wij vragen stellen die dan ook door Marija werden beantwoord. Tot slot gingen we nog gezellig iets drinken bij het oudste restaurant van Belgrado. Een restaurant verscholen tussen 2 gebouwen waar je ook zomaar voorbij kan lopen als je dit niet weet. Gedurende deze tour heb je echt een groot deel van de bijzonderheden in Belgrado gezien. Kortom, een aanrader tijdens je verblijf in Belgrado.
