First-class experience! - This was a fantastic tour. Melanaya our guide was outstanding in imparting information about the sites but also providing a personal perspective on events through which she had lived. The company was also very helpful in restructuring our itinerary to fit in with our travel plans. 10 out of 10 GYG and Melanaya.

Excellent tour and guide! - We had an absolutely wonderful time with Milena as our guide for our day tour in Nis. From start to finish, she was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. She shared fascinating insights about the history, culture, and local life, making every stop meaningful and memorable. Her passion for her country truly shines through, and she went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and engaged throughout the day. Thanks to Milena, our day tour was not just informative, but genuinely enjoyable and fun. We can’t recommend her highly enough!

Travel friends - The trip was incredible.
We had a lot of fun.
Older people are a little more closed but young people are more affectionate.
We managed to enjoy the Nisville music festival.
It felt very safe.
We liked a lot.

This tour is great to see all of NiS! - Bane did a great job showing off his city and country. He is a book writer and everywhere we went people knew him. He also helped me with my COVID test prior to leaving the country. This tour shows a lot of stuff and his insights were good into the history. I learned a lot and would recommend this tour. Several things had limited hours due to CIVID, but he made it all work out. Also, went to a beautiful picturesque place in the mountains.

Show Me with Bane....... Go for it - Firstly I would recommend Show me to anyone they are a very professional and accommodating tour service offering great value for money.
Me and my friends went on the Monastery and cave day trip in early March with Bane and it was such enjoyable experience with very picturesque sights. Bane is an amazing character offering a wealth of information, stories, recommendation and experiences. He truly treats people like family going out of his way to make your day as good as possible....even going as far dropping us of as the airport after tour conclusion. Bane I thank you. I wish I had the time to go on more of show me tours and would defiantly go on another tour when I am back in Serbia.
All in All just Go for it.
