- Belgrade - The tour begins at 8 a.m. from your accommodation in Belgrade.
- Manasija Monastery - Enjoy a scenic 1.5-hour drive to our first stop, Manasija Monastery, nestled among the green hills of the vibrant Resava gorge. Built in the early 15th century during the reign of Despot Stefan Lazarevic, the complex is encircled by 12 towers designed to protect the Church of Saint Trinity from the Ottomans. The Manasija monastery fortification, with its walls and towers, is the best-preserved fortification complex in medieval Serbia. The monastery’s frescoes are considered one of the greatest achievements of medieval Serbian art, making it a true gem of Serbian medieval culture.
- Resavska Cave - The tour continues to the 80-million-year-old Resava Cave, discovered by a local shepherd in 1962 and opened to the public ten years later. Today, it is one of the most visited caves in this part of Europe, known for its rich cave formations like stalagmites and stalactites. The tunnels stretch for 4.5 km, with over 2 km explored and 800 m accessible to visitors. The cave maintains a constant temperature of 7°C year-round, with air humidity between 80 and 100%. The cave tour lasts 40 minutes, so warm clothing is recommended.
- Vodopad Veliki Buk - Next, we head to Lisine waterfall, one of Eastern Serbia’s top attractions. Here, in this stunning location, we will take a lunch break, offering you the chance to try the best trout fish in Serbia.
- Krupajsko Vrelo - Our journey continues to Krupaj Spring, located 30 km from Lisine Waterfall on the west side of Beljanica Mountain. This karst spring is one of the most beautiful in Eastern Europe, with its turquoise waters sure to leave you breathless.
- Belgrade - We then drive back to Belgrade (2 hours) and drop you off at your accommodation.

The best of the best - This was one of the best travelling experience I ever had.
I went to Belgrade for a couple of days with my boyfriend and we decided to book a one day exploration trip, in the eastern part of Serbia.
Both the driver and the guide were genuinely amazing: welcoming, kind, attentive to our needs and the guide was so knowledgeable and prepared, telling so many things about Serbian culture and ready to reply to any of our questions.
I think we got to experience the true nature of Serbian people with them.
The tour was amazing from start to end, diverse and rich.
I would recommend to anyone, solo travellers , couples and groups alike.
I will definitely go back to Serbia and will again a customer of Serbia Inspired tours.
I thank them a million times for the unforgettable memories they allowed us to make!

Highly Recommend this Offbeat Experience! - Had a wonderful time on this tour with Jelena as our tour guide and Ranko as the van driver.
Jelena is a really fun guide who is very knowledgeable and friendly. We covered some amazing sites in Serbia which was completely worth it. Loved the Resava Cave and the authentic Serbian lunch. Plus, Jelena is also a great photographer!
Highly recommend!

Nice tour - A very nice trip, nice views and the places we visit were very interesting. I was expecting a bit more of the waterfall and more historical background from the guide, but regardless of that totally worthy. People was nice, pero the van very comfortable and with good Wi-Fi to keep working during the long transfers
