We
took
a
whole
day
tour
around
Belgrade
with
Victor
Tours
on
the
26th
of
August
2023.
Our
guide
was
Jovan.
Communication
with
the
tour
company
was
good
throughout.
Even
when
the
tour
had
to
start
with
a
bit
of
delay
due
to
vehicle
problems,
we
were
kept
informed
throughout.
That
grants
them
the
second
star
of
my
review.
Thatās
as
far
as
I
can
say
positively
about
the
experience.
While
Jovan
did
spend
all
day
with
us
driving
us
around
and
ticking
all
the
the
boxes
from
the
advertised
itinerary,
Iām
afraid
he
wasnāt
an
engaging
guide.
He
gave
us
tons
of
dates
and
names
in
a
rather
haphazard
way.
He
seemed
more
interested
in
proving
that
he
knows
his
stuff,
rather
than
in
conjuring
in
our
minds
a
complete
image
of
Serbian
culture
and
identity.
There
was
no
common
thread
weaving
his
explanations.
This
made
the
whole
experience
rather
disjoint,
which
means
one
ends
the
day
with
actually
very
little
idea
of
what
makes
Belgrade
and
Serbia
what
they
are.
It
was
also
quite
disappointing
to
see
how
he
got
very
defensive,
and
almost
angry,
when
I
asked
questions
about
Serbiaās
recent
past.
He
said
he
didnāt
want
to
talk
about
that
as
he
was
trying
to
show
us
what
Serbia
has
to
offer
today,
rather
than
dwelling
on
the
past.
That
was
an
interesting
retort,
considering
that
throughout
the
day
he
said
very
little
positive
about
the
current
times
in
Serbia.
I
said
I
asked
those
questions
precisely
because
thatās
a
recent
past
he
mustāve
lived
through,
so
Iām
much
more
interested
in
personal
lived
experience
than
in
a
bunch
of
facts
and
figures
I
could
get
from
Wikipedia
within
two
clicks.
He
didnāt
take
this
well
and
it
created
an
awkward
tension
in
the
group.
All
in
all,
although
the
price
of
the
tour
was
reasonable
for
all
that
it
packed
in,
it
was
a
rather
poor
experience.
Itās
a
pity
since
it
was
the
only
full
day
of
sightseeing
we
had
time
for
in
Belgrade.
I
wouldnāt
do
it
again.
