I decided to go on an organized tour. I really wanted to visit Mostar and I found a trip that had a tour through some of Serbia’s beautiful parks and with 3 days in Bosnia. Seemed to be perfect.

I found about 5 or 6 of these around Belgrade. Same style, different person. I asked the guide who they are? They are well-known personalities in Serbia and they support Partizan Belgrade. They are singers, writers, academics, nice people. (Partizan Belgrade fans have a violent reputation and are known as "gravediggers" or "undertakers" and proudly refer to themselves as "hooligans")

Whoosh there it goes
We did an organized tour in Israel because our families were worried and we decided to throw them a bone to appease them. It was nicer than the one you took as they stopped often for us to take photos and provide information on the site...although we would have enjoyed more time and a leisurely pace it was not available. The guide kept saying picture, picture, picture, back in the bus. We learned to laugh at the absurdity and enjoy. Our guide took us off the bus frequently and had lots of historical information but once his speech was over there was little time....picture, picture, picture, back in the bus. We are like you. We are done with the organized tours unless it is with like minded groups.....and there are some out there. We've been to Cuba and you don't need a guide.

Good to know about Cuba. I'm ready to go! but with a 10 hour flight from Amsterdam, I don't think I'll have a partner ... but you never know, I have a big birthday coming up!

Our guide didn't have to say "picture, picture, picture" ...
Everybody already knew what to do!
