If you want to understand better the Balkans with all its complexity, rich history and colorful mixture of different cultures and habits, we recommend you to visit Nis with us. During this day tour you will travel through history with the professional lead of your guide. Our journey through time will start from the Roman period, when Nis gave to the world one great man – The Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. Then we will continue through the Middle Ages and the period of Ottoman rule which left constructions like the Nis Fortress and the Skull Tower – a symbol of the struggle for freedom and independence from the Ottomans. In the end we will pay attention to the Modern history and the period of Nazi occupation of former Yugoslavia, visiting the Nazi Concentration Camp. Of course after all the impressions that you get, it will be time for some rest. You will have the chance to taste the famous Serbian cuisine - one of the most delicious on the Balkans.

Great way to see another country when in Bulgaria. The skull tower was really cool. I think we made the most of the day. My only complaint would be that we didn't get very good direction on where to go for a traditional lunch, but other than that good day.

Recommend this tour to Nis, Serbia. Our guide, Mikhail, was very accommodating especially as we decided to do the tour last minute, he was punctual and pleasant, with good sense of humor, his English was very good. The car we were in was nice, comfortable. we went thru border check points with no issues, bring your passports. We visited several attractions including a concentration camp in Nis, very sobering experience and well preserved museum. Recommend the tour, one suggestion is to have addresses and names of possible places to eat in downtown Nis and esp ones that take credit cards not only local cash.
