★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 13 reviews · 10 hours

Review of the Sarajevo to Višegrad and Sargan Eight tour, with the Drina River, Andrićgrad, Drvengrad, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“I can really recommend this trip from Sarajevo. It was great to have local Guide (and local Driver, too :-)) We saw lot of things in a few hours and our Guide gave us lot of informations. We enjoyed Bridge over Drina (because we read Ivo Andrič´s book Na Drini ćuprija) and also Andričgrad, Dobrun and other locations. Due to unexpected delay on borders, we missed The Šargan Eight train, but everything else was great including beautiful bosnian nature and mountains. And we got also sandwiches for a trip :-)”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 10 reviews · 12 hours · from $160

Review of the Belgrade to Sargan 8 Railway and Wooden City tour, with the House on the Drina, pricing, timing, train tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Please do not book this tour as it was a terrible experience. It is just a taxi service at an exorbitant price, our driver didn’t know anything, didn’t explain anything and neither he spoke good English. To make it worse, they didn’t book our sargan 8 railway ticket and only when we reached there we got to know it, they didn’t bother to inform. When we were scheduled to do to Drvengrad, the driver just drove off the entrance and said this is it without letting us even get off the car. Overall the worse experience ever.”

Nina provided us with a plethora of interesting information related to the topic of the journey as well as about Serbia in general. She is a fun and a very professional and knowledgeable guide. The mini-bus was very comfortable, and Milan proved himself as a very skillful and professional driver as well as a warm and courteous person. He made sure we were comfortable and got to our destinations safely. I am very happy…”
