Sunset cruise on Belgrade’s Sava and Danube with an English guide, passing the Fortress, bridges and waterfront in 1.5 hours.

“It was just so easy. Plus it was a good length - long enough so it was worthwhile, but it still left enough time for dinner afterwards. A nice boat with a toilet, great drink selection at good prices, and friendly staff. Absolutely great value for the price. Not sure how anyone couldn't give it full marks!”
