wrote on 8. August 2022. at 13:56 I managed to get to Guca festival after a last moment chance. Contacted Dejan also last moment and all was sorted fast. Best relationship with Dejan and Natasha from the beginning. They are helpful and knowledgeable about serbian history and culture and passionate about the serbian brass bands. It is a true Serbian festival and you get a cosy Serbian accommodation with a family, as if you were visiting friends who live by the festival. Could it be any better?

wrote on 16. August 2019. at 13:27 I wanted to write and thank you and the family who hosted me so much for such a wonderful experience at Guca!
I came to Serbia and the festival on a whim, not knowing what to expect, and what a found was an amazing experience and kind and hospitable people! Seriously, I had the best time, and in large part thanks to the worry free accommodation and clean comfy bed (even if I hardly slept).
Guca was such a memorable and fun experience! I really plan to come back again next year! And I'll bring others too! Thank you!!!!

wrote on 13. August 2019. at 13:30 I had a Great time in Guča 2019. It is really awesome that you helps with bus and accomandation and make it so easy to join this festival. I talked much to The others on The bus and really got new friends directly and despite i traveled alone I catched up and hung around with new friends all Three days. I also think it was very good to live in locals house in Guča and have a Nice talk to the hosts and get experience of The serbian small village life (instead of a hotel) I also think that the tour to train and village on saturday was really good. I really hope i can Come back again next year. The festival is so fun and unique.

Every one has been very kind! Music has been beautiful, Guca welcomed tourists!
There were concert in the stadium and in the Culture House, i liked a lot also all those band playing along the streets and restaurants ! I joined the bus to visit the old rail line at Sargan and the monasteries: we were warmly welcomed in very beautiful places amid luxuriant nature.
I spent three days in Belgrade, i like it a lot, i loved to visit non central districts. An huge thank you to Natasha, Dejan and to the family which hosted me in Guca! Xвала ! I invite you also to present a Belgrade trip in your plans for the people leaving Guca for Belgrade after the festival.
I like a lot discovering Stari Grad and Свети Nikola church at Zemun. Unfortunately this year i will not come to Guca, i hope next year to see spring time preselection before Guca final. I know i'll need to learn many more words in Serbian for next time! Kindest regards,

wrote on 4. March 2019. at 16:47 Hello Serbian Brass Bands! I am from an activist street-brass-band in Innsbruck, Austria: StreetNoiseOrchestra We play outside on the streets for the people. In June 2019 we are having a festival of similar street-brass-bands from France, Germany, Italy, and Austria. As lovers of Serbian brass-band tradition, we would love to invite a Serbian band to our festival also! Are you interested? Please send us a message orchestra@streetnoise.at Tell your other brass band friends!
wrote on 19. December 2018. at 17:55 Dear people of Guča, we were a group of six friends who all joined your festival for the first time. It was amazing, the music, the joy and hospitality. We made a report with some pictures, maybe some other guests are interested to read and watch (the words are only in German, sorry for that!). https://www.gig-blog.net/2018/08/15/guca-festival-9-12-08-2018-guca-serbien/ All the best and see you!

wrote on 21. September 2018. at 10:02 Ringrazio di cuore Nataša e Predrag per l'impeccabile organizzazione del nostro soggiorno a Guča e per le interessanti escursioni proposte con le visita ai monasteri e per il simpatico viaggio con il trenino storico lungo il suggestivo percorso della "Šarganska osmica". E' stata davvero una bella vacanza che abbiamo trascorso in una atmosfera di festa continua, in posti davvero suggestivi e con persone davvero ospitali! Grazie ancora ed un caro saluto dall'Italia!

wrote on 3. September 2018. at 19:59 Oh Guča, what an experience! Truly one of the most authentic festivals I've ever been. People is lovely and music and atmosphere fantastic. Thanks to Dejan and Natasa to make it a real Balkan experience 😉
wrote on 30. August 2018. at 18:54 je tiens à vous remercier chaleureusement pour ce séjour. Tout a été parfaitement préparé du début à la fin que ce soit pour le transport ou l'hébergement. Nos hôtes étaient charmants et accueillants. Nous avons découvert un pays, des gens et des musiciens hors du communs. Étant nous-même musiciens, nous ne nous doutions pas que l'on pouvait jouer de la trompette de cette façon, c'est extraordinaire. Merci encore pour ces moments formidables que vous nous avez offert. ce sera un souvenir inaltérable!! ne changez rien, nous reviendrons.
wrote on 21. August 2018. at 13:02 1000 Thanxs to Dejan and Natasa for their help to bring my missing phone back to Austria. I forgot it in my room in Guca. Honestly and helpfully the took care for an organised a woman from vienna to bring it back to me. Guca Festival is so nice and Serbien people so honest and lovely. Wonder exist.
wrote on 18. August 2018. at 12:21 Massive thank you to Guca team who organised our trip. Our hosts were warm and hospitable, the house was beautiful, clean and comfortable, providing stunning views of the surrounding scenery. The included breakfast (and home made juice) was incredible. Our excursion tour guides who took us to Mokna Gora were excellent as well. We will be back!
wrote on 16. August 2018. at 08:18 Big thanks to all people who organised our shuttle and stay in Guča. Nataša and Dejan are friendly and helpfull during all stay. You can tell that during years they brought organisation of accomodation to perfection. With them your only concern is to have fun during the festival! Pozdrav
wrote on 7. October 2017. at 08:42 We were a team of 4 people and Dejan and Natasa supported us perfectly. We stayed with a lovely family with 2 kids and grandma in the middle of Guca. We were very well come and absolutely nice treated and integrated. Lots of interesting talks with our family. Natasa is very quick and responsive and helpful. Dejan is a walking encyclopedia about Music and Guca . They helped us to experience Guca in a very special beautiful way besides brass and party. Thanks very much Natasa & Dejan
wrote on 18. September 2017. at 15:39 We had a fantastic time! Everyone that we dealt with was friendly and knowledgeable. Our house host was lovely and gracious. She made unbelievable breakfasts each mornings. The whole house was filled which gave it a great fun feel to each know new people. The location was a short walk to the festival and they even provided a parking place for our car. Would love to come back and do it again!!!
wrote on 13. September 2017. at 22:30 Great Festival, plenty of fun. Natasha was excellent in organizing and fast in responding. The rather basic accomodation in a private house was highly compensated by the friendlyness of the hosts, the location and the unbelievable breakfast which was prepared and brought by the very "laid-back" grandmother. Thanks a lot to everybody, we had a great time!
wrote on 9. September 2017. at 21:03 The Guca festival is advertised as "madness made in Serbia", which after being there I'll not debate 🙂 . However, it is worth mentioning that besides madness Guca is also breathing great atmosphere, good food, the kindest people, big party and last but not least : showing passion for music in a very sincere way.
We stayed in a house with a guest family, which I would recommend if you appreciate some moments of rest and recovery in the 4 cheerful days of Guca celebration
