We want to say again a lot of thanks to Dejan and Natasha for perfect Organisation of our stay at Guca. Transfer was on time , accomodation was comfortable, clean and even relatively quite :). We had no Troubles and simply enjoyed our time and ourselves. We can recommend others to use friendly Services of Dejan and Natasha.

For all the girls who would love to travel alone to Guca but have doubts and hesitate: DO IT! You can go to Guca, there is nothing dangerous or unsafe. Above all the journey organized by the agency is really appropriate for this kind of adventure, and perfect!
I first heard about Guca Festival… 10 years ago, while I was in another festival in Surdurica, south of Serbia. For the last 10 years, I have had been thinking I would come one day to Guca… and in 2013 I eventually made It!
I travelled alone from France, with several stopovers in the countries I had to cross. As I arrived in Serbia, I was of course kind of exited by the idea of going to Guca with a group of people who would share the same passion for music. However I was not expecting such a good organization. From the transportation to the accommodation, all was perfect. The agency ( special thanks to natasa and Dejan) is flexible enough and let one flexibility to design the trip according to one's own schedule, and that the same time they are available enough to answer any kind of questions and solve any kind of problems related to the journey !
I had to chance to be in the best family in town, with the nicest roommates I could have met. Though I was traveling alone, I never felt lonely and met the right people to share my passion for music, for discussions, and for dance of course!
It is hard to describe the atmosphere in the street, in the bars and restaurants, in the stadium during the concerts… I just felt that I was the character of one’s of Kusturica’s film during 4 whole days, and that’s good for the mood ☺
And because nothing’s perfect, I just would like to mention that It is a pity that they are so much pop and modern music at every corners, that gives the festival an atmosphere that is not in the spirit of the festival any more. And too much advertising everywhere and commercials even during concerts… But that’s unfortunately just the evolution of our world….
Anyway, you'll find me there again next year !

The Guca festival has been on my wish list of places to visit for some time, and I was glad to be able to make it happen this year.
Kudos to Dejan and Natasa for their planning. Our room in Guca was quite adequate, and the hosts most friendly.
Natasa was most helpful in keeping up with my flurry of emails containing all sorts of questions regarding planning for our visit. As we had never been in Serbia prior to this, I really appreciated her taking the time to answer.
We enjoyed the festival, but became somewhat disenchanted with the street noise and drunk people after a couple of days. The street booths selling cds and playing loud recorded music were particularly annoying. Ditto the bars doing the same. With all of the brass bands roaming through town, why does a bar feel the need to play loud recorded music? I don't get it. We attended in order to listen to the bands, and enjoyed that aspect of the festival.
The Sargan8 day trip turned out to be a very nice respite from the crowds and cacophany of Guca and we were happy to take part in the train ride. Well organized. We did not participate in the Monasteries tour, but heard nice things about it.
Our only complaint would be the long bus ride from Belgrade to Guca with a lack of air condition- ing in the minibus. It was beastly warm in the front seat of the bus heading to Guca in the hot sun.
Departure from St Marks seems logical, and the church is easy to access via trams. I'm wondering if the central train station might also be a good choice as the airport minibus A1 stops there?
Again, thanks Guca crew for all your hard work.

Hallo for everybody. I would like to write, that this year I was quite disappointed of the festival. I have been to GuÄa for fifth, but I think, I would mabye never come again. And more people told me the same, I am not alone. Something I do not understand. Why the reproduced music is in many cases in bars, in which I expect live music? It is more worse, than earlier. Some peole which sells somethink in GuÄa, there will only the money (of course, they are there to earn some money) and cheating by returning money and give other prices, if You are not Srbin. If you ask in english, you would get higher price for the same in most cases, only because you are foreigner. I absoluttely understand, that the prices are in generally higher, than usuall, that is normal on festivals, but to have other prices and if you ask in Serbian language to get better is by my meaning dirty.
Also the organisation was in some cases not good. Why concert of religious music was so silent and by the center for culture on the evening...Why it is not afternoon, when the streets are not so noisy? Why the perform of DragaÄevo wedding was earlier? I was looking forward to it, and when I come, it was fast on the end. Why in program was not written, that after Boban MarkoviÄ is declaration of winners? This is the most important think on the festival? Or the people finally forgot, why is the festival organized??? Why Boban MarkoviÄ was playing 45 minutes for all people, which were waiting for him in rain?
It is for me sad, but I feel, that the festival is not more good, and will be soon only about the money, drinking and reproduced music. If I would like only to drink for 5 or more days, I can stay at home..Poor guys, which started for 53 years making the festival...
