The 4 Serbia Castle Tours That Earn Their Price

1.From Belgrade: Golubac Fortress and Iron Gate Gorge Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 271 reviews · 12 hours · from $117Our pick

Travel from Belgrade to Golubac Fortress and the Iron Gates in a small group or private air-conditioned van. English-speaking guides such as Aleksandar, Milica, and Uros lead the day, with fortress access, a Serbian lunch option, and an hour-long Danube boat ride.

“Alexander, the guide, was brilliant - friendly, knowledgeable and informative. He gave us lots of interesting information, he obviously enjoyed showing us amazing and beautiful places, and he always told us clearly what would happen next and what to expect. Sasha (spelling?) the driver was also great. It was dull weather for our trip and rained some of the time. This meant the tinted windows on the bus made it look half-dark outside, probably good on a bright sunny day, but slightly disappointing on our day. Apart from that, a fantastic day out thank you! :)”
