There’s no better, faster, or more fun way to get to know a new country than through its national cuisine. That’s exactly why our Food and Culture Tour Belgrade is the perfect way to explore the country—not just through its flavors, but through its stories, traditions, and way of life.
There’s something almost Rabelaisian about Serbian dining traditions: the portions are generous, the flavors are rich, the drinks are flowing – and every meal is a celebration. But food isn’t just consumed here – that would be a sin! No one in their right mind would just gulp down a juicy pljeskavica, a melt-in-your-mouth knedle, crispy golden ćevapi, or an airy slice of trileće. And we haven’t even mentioned the divine pršut or burek yet! This is the kind of food you should savor, smacking your lips with delight, with heartfelt joy and gratitude – for the well-ordered world around you, for a great meal and good people around the table, and for a life that is, after all, pretty wonderful.
But Serbian cuisine is more than just food. Within it lies the entire history of the country – its joys and tragedies, victories and hardships. Centuries of wars, occupations, migrations, and foreign influences have all left their mark on Serbian cuisine. Its flavors carry the legacy of ancient customs, traditions, and cultural identity.
That’s why on our Belgrade food tours, we won’t just be tasting – we’ll dive into the fascinating history of the Balkans. And, of course, we’ll talk about how Serbian cuisine reflects the national character, the local love for celebrations, and the art of appreciating life’s simple pleasures. We’ll also explore what life in this unusual country looks like today and how it shapes its modern culinary culture.
We invite you on an exciting gastronomic journey through Belgrade. You’ve got to come and try it for yourself!

It's advisable to decide on tours you would like to take as early as possible, ideally to book them right after buying your airplane tickets. That way we will make sure we have a guide for you and our meeting will definitely take place :) If you make a last-minute decision to take a tour, do not hesitate to contact us either. We will do our best to arrange a guide for you to show you the country.
We will definitely agree on it well in advance! Then, two days before the tour date, a reminding email with the name and the phone number of your guide, the exact location of the meeting point and its photo will be sent to you. Please do not miss this letter. Thanks! :)
Sure. We love to plan individual programs more than anything else. In addition to our existing tours, a boat or a yacht trip could be included; a hot air balloon flight, designer shops and art gallery tours, various workshops, tastings, university tours, castle visiting and much, much more. In addition, we adore arranging multi-day bicycle trip programs around the country. Arranging an individual program is a paid service. Let us know your personal wishes and we will do our best to make it happen!
Perhaps, you still have some questions. This is what we get asked about most of the time.
