When we decided to start the Republik project, back in 2013, there was a general lack of companies operating in private tailored tours withinin Serbia, especially the Zlatibor and Užice region. We initially offered services to our guests at our Eco Hostel Republik but due to increasing demand as result of the amazing feedback, recommendations and word of mouth requests, we decided to open the Tour Company. We offered our services to the guests who were staying in the area and who were looking for a truly local experience with regional tour guides and small private groups.
Marko, the founder of the company, was born and has lived most of his life in Uzice. Being an experienced global traveler, saw an opportunity in the market as he always struggled to get private tours, with experienced local drivers and guides. Today, we are proud to be one of the most reputable companies in Western Serbia, offering private tailored tours, with private tour guides. All our guides are born and raised in Uzice and they will be your sincere hosts in their backyard.
If you would like to be part of our team, as a private tour guide, please contact Marko directly here: -+381 693226316
