          Amazing tour
          I had a fun tour by a very friendly and caring guide. She showed me around the best and most interesting locations of Niš. Highly recommended! Thank you Milena!

          We had an amazing time! Bane is so nice and the tour is excellent! We saw the best places in Nis and Bane explained everything to us. Everyone visiting Nis should book a tour with Show Me tour guide service.

          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.

          Amazing experience
          We took the weekend tour of Nis and its surroundings. Honestly we had high hopes even before meeting Bane, but Bane managed to surpass them. Bane is one of the most warm hearted people we have ever met with extensive knowledge of his town and Serbia as whole. The tours were very well organized, everyone got what he / she was looking for and that was because nothing seems to be a problem for him, the tours can be adjusted on spot according to ones preferences- Hakuna Matata!! Thank you Bane! Thank you Show Me! Milan, Pavel, Jana & Jan from Czech republic...

We landed in Sofia and were headed to Niš with a pit stop on Stara Planina ; Bane planned it as a 2 full day excursion - we have memories enough for a week worth. Could not recommend him and his agency more !!!

          Great trip and insight into Serbia
          We recently returned from a multi-day tour with Bane. We saw the main sites downtown (in addition to para-gliding) and the following two days we saw some monasteries, caves, and waterfalls. We had a wonderful time with Bane and enjoyed the trip very much. We could have rented a car and seen the sites on our own. However, with Bane we got a deeper understanding and view of the complex Serbian history and culture. Bane picked us up and dropped us off at the airport - making it a very easy trip for our family to do. I would definitely recommend using Bane if visiting the Nis area.

          Grate trip in Nis with Bane
          we had the best time in Nis with Bane who has an amazing knowledge about the places in Nis . He is very friendly and taking us all the places which we can see in short period of time. During the trip we had lovely local cuisine he introduced to us and amazing food. We had a really lovely time and fully enjoyed the two days we spend with him. He kept lots of surprises during the trip and best is visiting local farms and we plucked plums. I highly recommend Show Me Tours for anyone who would like to visit Serbia

          Best tour of Serbia and Niš
          I did choose Bane based on the wonderful reviews here on tripadviser and I can only say I did the right thing. Bane made me visit beautiful serbian nature on a day trip (Poganovo monastery, Slavinjsko grlo and other spots of Stara planina nature park), we had tasty serbian food and then the next day his lovely colleague Milena drove me to Devil´s town. It´s very enjoyable to spend time with someone who takes pride in showing his country and picking the best bits. Bane made me feel like I was at home, he drove me also around Nis and gave me great tips. Thank you for everything Bane once again!

          just Excellent!
          I went on a two-day trip with Bane to see Nis and many of its surrounding attractions (e.g., Devil's town, Studenica monastery, Zica, Felix Romuliana, Manasija Monastery). I had a long list of sights I wanted to visit but only had limited time. Luckily, I found Bane, who really helped me to make it happen! Bane was very accommodating and was happy to make changes and be flexible. E.g., I wasn't able to make an earlier bus as planned and was only able to arrive in Nis at 4:30am - Bane was happy to picked me up at this early hour without a complaint. I had a really lovely time and fully enjoyed the two days I spend with him. I learnt a lot about the country during this trip. Serbia is really a beautiful country and have a lot to show. I am looking forward to return for another trip, and will surely find Bane again to organise my trip. Thanks again Bane!

          Excellent Guide
          I joined the tour to visit the devils town. My guide, Bane, is really nice and he is an excellent guide. Very informative about the locals and the history of Serbia. He also drove me to capture some nice photos around Niš. Recommend to join his tour if you stay in Niš.

          Thanks for showing us the secrets of Serbia
          We did not have the pleasure of meeting Bane as he was away but we had the great pleasure of being accompanied by young Milena - a young mum of two lovely kids who really knew how to engage with my ten year old daughter. A nice and humble lady who took us to a number of mind-blowingly beautiful places - djavolja varos, prolom banja, a wonderful old water mill restaurant with wonderful food and beer and the natural beauty of the nis region - sevica and jelasnica gorges etc.

          What an experience! Bane was incredibly helpful and kind. We were taken up to 500m and paraglided down, we were given the video from the GoPro for free. Would definitely recommend.

        We expected to see some nice sights on the mountains near Nis when we booked this day tour, but ended up getting so much more! Our guide, Bane, was warm and friendly and so knowledgable about the hidden gems of this area. He communicated professionally and made the experience fun for our whole family of 4. He's a great driver and not afraid to take you off the usual path to see something spectacular. We saw villages, natural wonders, waterfalls and experienced the warm hospitality of this region at its best. This tour is a great value and you will see wonders of nature, eat some of the best food Europe has to offer and be guided by an interesting and friendly local person. This is an opportunity like few others.

        If you enjoy trekking and immersing yourself in nature, Stara Plana is a must. Through this excursion, I had the opportunity to truly enjoy myself and immerse in the natural beauty and local culture.

        Milena, my guide, took me to Stara Plana. There, I had the chance to experience the beauty of the small but majestic Rosomacki Lonci - a unique canyon that seemingly appears out of nowhere, the picturesque Tupavica Waterfall near the village of Dojkinci, standing about 25 meters high with ice patches still visible, making it even more captivating. We also visited Izvor Vrelo, an enchanting and crystal-clear nature preserve, and a small Christian Orthodox Monastery nestled among the mountain rocks of a quaint little village. Along the way, we made several stops to admire breathtaking panoramas, and I was fortunate to catch sight of some horses roaming about.

        Being wintertime, the scenery I witnessed was not lush green, however there is beauty in every season and thus nature's beauty never dissappoints.

        If you want to relax, and get away from.the hustle and bussle of everyday life, than search no-more. This is an amazingly authentic experience not to be missed. I highly recommend it.

        Bane took us on this tour and on another one called Nature Break. He showed us the area, and also hard to reach places that are inaccessible by bus or taxi!

        He also took time to introduce us to villagers who welcomed us in their lovely homes. One lady was a honey maker, who offered us Raki in her garden under the shade of trees. Another couple welcomed us in their home in an uninhabited village.

        Furthermore he took us to good eateries, and took the time to introduce us to different foods.

        All in all he surpassed our expectations every single time, the wow factor, the little surprises and last but not least the music in the car.
        Absolutely 'Riding with the King'!!
