The sites that we saw on our tour were very interesting, however our guide admitted that he had only given it one other time...years ago. There were times that we had to wait for HIM to take photos before we could check things out ourselves. He was unable to answer many of our seemingly basic questions. He drove up to 200km/h at times enroute to some places, only to have to stop for a fifteen-minute break at a random gas station/restaurant so he didn't get in trouble at the toll stop for driving too fast. We felt this was unsafe and a waste of time. When we got to the concentration camp he told us that there would be another English speaking guide to explain things. This was not the case. He then told us that there was signage inside the building in English that would help us. Only about ten percent of the signage was actually in English. A friend of mine took this same tour the day before we did with a different guide and had a wonderful, informative experience. I think this would have been an awesome tour with a guide who had more knowledge of the itinerary. Be prepared for quite a hike at Devil's Town! Nis was an interesting city. The concentration camp was sobering and a must-see!
We really enjoyed our day out with our guide Marko and fellow travelers. The tour company booked by Viator was very organized. Our guide picked us up on a time at our accommodation. Niš is well worth visiting - we enjoyed the history and sites on the tour. And Devil's Town at the end of the day was quite beautiful.
