17 tours  ·  from $85 a head

Serbia is compact enough that almost everything is a day trip, and long enough that most of them start early. These 15 sort the gorge, the caves, the mountains and the west, by price and by how many hours the coach eats.

Our tour guide Nina, and our driver Ljubisa were fantastic- kind and funny and knowledgeable. We had plenty of time at each stop and the whole group had a lot of fun! I took so many Photos and made new friends! I felt so looked after, and despite it being such a long day, it’s by far the best thing I did in Serbia! I thoroughly recommend it to everyone!”

Strongly recommend his recommendations, including the vineyard restaurant for lunch, the cave, the short hike to Vrdnik Tower, the monuments to freedom, and chapel visit to see the frescos. Simply amazing!”
