Tour provider's comments

As the tour leader/guide, my responsibility is to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants throughout the excursion. This tour is generally low-risk and suitable for most visitors, but several safety aspects are considered and communicated to guests in advance.

Parts of the tour involve walking on uneven surfaces, including cobblestone streets (in Sremski Karlovci and Novi Sad) and stone paths or stairs at Petrovaradin Fortress and Krusedol Monastery.

During the tasting of selected bee products such as honey and propolis, guests are informed that these are natural products that may cause allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to bee products, pollen, or related substances. Participants are therefore advised to inform the guide in advance if they have any known allergies.

At the beekeeping museum and winery, guests may taste local wines including Bermet. Wine tasting is optional and participants are encouraged to drink responsibly.

Overall, the tour involves light walking, short transfers, and standard sightseeing activities, with minimal risk when safety guidelines are followed.
