Zemun: E-Scooter tour with local guide & riverwalk

Summary

Glide along Zemun’s riverwalk, old towers, and bustling streets

You’ll glide by the Danube on an e-scooter, feed swans at Zemunski kej, climb up to Gardos Tower for views over Zemun, and sample street food in lively markets—all with a local guide who shares stories as you go. Expect real moments: laughter, unexpected stops, maybe even new friends you’ll remember long after the ride.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the smell—river air mixed with grilled corn from a street cart near Zemunski kej. Our guide, Marko, handed me a helmet (which felt slightly too big but I just tightened it) and showed us how to work the e-scooters. The path along the Danube was busy with locals feeding swans; one kid offered me bread for the birds and then giggled when I nearly lost my balance trying to take a photo. It’s not like Belgrade center at all—more relaxed somehow, almost like you’re on holiday even if you live nearby.

We zipped past the Palace of Serbia—Marko called it “a concrete giant” and pointed out some old communist symbols I’d never have noticed on my own. The ride up to Gardos Tower was a bit bumpy (cobblestones!), but the view from up there… well, I still think about that patchwork of red roofs against the river. Marko told us about Hungarian settlers and how the tower is sort of a symbol for Zemun now. He even tried to teach us how to say “Millennium Tower” in Serbian—I definitely butchered it, which made him laugh.

There was this quick stop at the old cemetery—honestly, I didn’t expect that part. It was quiet except for distant church bells and someone sweeping leaves. Afterward we rolled through Zemun park where families were out walking dogs and kids raced each other on bikes. Main street was loud—like really loud—but in a way that felt alive rather than stressful. We ended up in the pedestrian zone where Marko suggested some street food (I went for something fried; no regrets). The whole day felt more like hanging out with a local friend than following a tour script.
