Description
Gems of Eastern Serbia Tour
- Visit medieval Manasija Monastery and admire centuries old frescoes and fortification
- Stroll through the 80-million-year-old Resava Cave
- Discover the natural beauty of Veliki Buk Waterfall and Krupaj Spring
The tour starts at 8.a.m. from your accommodation in Belgrade. You will be impressed by the beautiful scenery, while enjoying less than 2 hours' drive to our first stop – Manasija Monastery, located among the green hills of the vivid Resava gorge. It was built in early 15th century during the reign of Despot Stefan Lazarevic. The whole complex is surrounded by 12 towers, constructed in order to protect Church of Saint Trinity from the Ottomans. The Manasija monastery fortification, with its ramparts and towers, is the best preserved fortification complex on the territory of medieval Serbia.
The tour proceeds to 80-million-year-old cave called Resava, which was discovered by local shepherd in 1962. Nowadays this is one of the most visited caves within Balkans, due to the richness of cave formations: stalagmites and stalactites. Total length of the cave tunnels is 4.5 km with 800m long visitors path. The temperature inside the cave is a constant 7°C all year round, with air humidity varying between 80 and 100%. The tour around the cave will last for 40 minutes, so wearing warm clothes is recommended.
Continue to Veliki Buk waterfall, one of Eastern Serbia top attractions. Here in this breathtaking environment, a break for lunch will be made and you will have the great opportunity to try the best trout fish in Serbia.
Krupaj Spring, located 30km from Veliki Buk waterfall, on the west side of Beljanica Mount. is next on our route. It belongs to the group of karst springs and represents one of the most beautiful springs in Eastern Europe. Turquoise water of Krupaj Spring will leave you completely breathless.
Return to Belgrade in early evening hours.

Excellent Tour
Jelena was our tour guide and Ranko not Rambo was our driver. Jelena was the best tour guide we have ever had in any country. So knowledgeable and friendly. Ranko was amazing he was super polite. On the tour we visited a beautiful monestary, waterfall and naturally formed caves all of which we got amazing photos at and great details of the history of each from Jelena. Thank you again for an amazing tour and I would highly recommend anyone visiting Serbia to book this tour.

It is Serbia and not Siberia! :D
Jelena was my tour guide and Ranko was my driver. Jelena has a vast knowledge of her country, history, and of different places. She is very informative and she loves sharing her knowledge! Moreover, she loves to help you take photos! She is a very enthusiastic person and she loves what she do! Ranko is very helpful, and careful driver. He is very friendly as well! Actually, I could not find my sunglasses and they help me find it. They actually help me get to the place I wanted to go at the end of the tour. The tourbwas splendid and I would recommend this company to anyone! It is a must do in Serbia!

Enchanting Eastern Serbia Germs
Nice tour coordinated. Enjoyed the time with tour guide Jelena and driver Ranko's driving skill was amazing. Enjoyed the waterfall and river cave the most. The monastery is marvellous and our tour group went on a Sunday which we were invited for Rakia, Turkish coffee and delights by priests. Fabulous tour not to be missed! Lastly we encountered snow which came unexpectedly earlier, although was cold but blessed to touch snow again!!

A MUST!
What an incredible once in a lifetime experience. Definitely a must do if you’re able to. The pictures don’t do it justice and they are all unfiltered. It’s one of the most beautiful countries I’ve ever been to. Nina was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, helpful, funny, and so warm. She patiently took pictures for us, made sure we were hydrated and cool, and shared her incredible wealth of information. Even people outside the tour were drawn to her, surrounding us as she shared the history of these beautiful sites. At one point, she kindly translated a whole menu for our table then offered to do the same for another table of tourists in the restaurant. A genuine angel among us. She and Vlad were such a dream team making sure we were all comfortable and safe. They joked together and made us all laugh as we experienced these incredible views. He expertly navigated winding roads through mountains and countryside, even stopping more than he should have had to for me to get the perfect picture of sunflower fields. I hope I get to travel with them again some day.

The eastern Serbia tour started on time , a pleasant ride with lot of information about the history and culture and drive through the villages to reach a cave with stalactites. The tour guide was a very nice girl and the lunch was in a picturesque restaurant with delicious hot meals served , a monastery , a waterfall , a fish pond , a mixture of all different experiences in a single day !

The real gems!
We really enjoyed this tour with our guide Jelena and driver Jarko! Thankyou! We were so blessed to attend the service at the Resava Orthodox Serbian Monastery. Lisine waterfall was beautiful. Krupaj spring is really a photoshoot place. Amazing stalagmites at the Resava cave! And an unforgettable lunch too.

Four Gems For Sure
The 4 sites we all amazing. Great variety of nature, history and religion. Our tour guide Jelena and driver Bogdan were awesome. Knowledgeable, helpful, fun and passionate about their country. Highly recommend the tour. Thank you for a great day!
Christina P.
Take this tour!
This was such an amazing experience. Our tour was only four people so it felt like a private tour. Jelena and Bogdan were amazing. Very knowledgeable and made the experience so much better. The countryside is absolutely beautiful. If you’re on the fence about this tour, I’d recommend giving it a shot. You won’t regret it. Timely pick up. Good driving. Great bits and pieces of information along the route to the countryside. We really learned a lot. This tour offers a stop at 4 locations instead of the usual 3 at other tours. Had a great time and would highly recommend!!!

Wonderful East Serbia!
We had a wonderful day travelling to East Serbia With Nina as our guide Bogdan as our driver. Eastern Serbia is truly beautiful, and the variety on the day trip was fantastic. From Monasteries to Waterfalls and Caves and fabulous lunch, where we feasted on fresh trout! Not alone was Nina a great source of information but she was brilliant fun( same sense of humour as the Irish, we wanted to take her home with us! This was the second tour we did with the company, requesting Nina and Bogdan for day two. So do not hesitate, take this tour.

Stunning scenery and amazing company!
Our first plan was to visit Tara National Park but Serbia Inspired Tours kindly consulted us on the current weather situation as they wanted the best experience for us. We switched to the Gems of Eastern Serbia Tour and had a great time. Our guide Jelena and driver Bogdan were amazing company! They answered all our questions and gave us authentic insights. We loved all attractions, especially the spring at the last stop. Would definitely recommend!

Photographers Dreams!
Having explored Belgrade city for a week, we wanted to venture out of town. This was the perfect tour! Our guide, Nina and driver, Bogdan were the perfect ambassadors for Serbia! Knowledgeable on historical information, as well as geological, we learned so much. As avid photographers, we couldn't have asked for a better tour. Fall colors provided the perfect backdrop to our photos of the Manasija Monastery. We took so many photos of the waterfall and spring. They were stunning! We enjoyed coffee and a great lunch. We would love to do the same tour again when we return in April or June so that we can photograph the new season.

Well worth visiting!
Our vacation was totally worth the time and money we spent on it because we explored so many new places. It was all because of your constant efforts that we could visit those beautiful abodes.

Gems of Eastern Serbia
This tour went above and beyond to ensure that my family and I saw Serbia to its fullest extent. Not only were they extremely accommodating with ice water, free WiFi onboard, but Serbia Inspired Tours was even nice enough to accept our reservations that we made a day before the actual tour was supposed to take place. So in regards to accommodation, I would give this agency a 10/10. When travelers come to Serbia they are often led to believe that the only thing “worth seeing” is Belgrade. Serbia Inspired Tours was extremely devoted to showing off and exposing Serbia’s hidden gems. From waterfalls to caves, to ancient monasteries, the tour was nothing short of absolute intrigue. In regards to the tour guides themselves, our driver was extremely professional by providing us with cold water throughout the trip and ensuring that we made stops from destination to destination in a quick and safe manner. As for our tour guide, she was extremely knowledgeable and well-versed in the history of Serbia and what it has to offer. My family and I truly had a blast and would recommend this tour to anyone else interested in stepping out of the norm of what typical tourists experience when visiting Serbia.

Amazing trip!

A memorable experience
The three of us - parents and son - had a great time. First and foremost - the company of Nina (tour guide) and Bogdan (driver) who did their best to please us. They were great company, providing us with a lot of interesting stories and absorbing information. We will cherish them and their goodwill for ever. The trip itself was well organised, showing the tourist a variety of impressive and remarkable sites.

Excellent way to spend a day off in Belgrade, if you know the city already! :)
Very comfortable mini bus with the excellent driver Sasha. We enjoyed all the background information and stories from Nina, who was a fantastic tour guide. Besides the various attractions we saw, we also enjoyed the very beautiful scenic drive and delicious trout for lunch. Truly recommended this tour and tour company.

Best Tour Operator and guide in Serbia - an unforgettable experience!!!
My husband and I came to Belgrade for 5 days and booked 3 tours with three different tour companies. Serbia Inspired Tours was by far the best one. Nina ,our guide, went out of her way to make our trip a memorable one and Sasha, our driver, was lovely. After you visit to Belgrade make sure to take this amazing tour. You will visit 5 different sites and see nature at its best. In my opinion it is a better tour than the highly popular Northern Serbia Tour to Novi Sad and Sremski Karlovci. Thank you Nina for giving us the PERFECT tour!
Claire Camilleri
Bravo! :)

Nina, the tour guide, was a wonderful, energetic, and well informed guide. Very helpful. Everything was on time and in depth.Thank you and I look forward to booking another tour when I return to Serbia!
