Django rest framework - cant serialize query set - django

Question

I try to serialize query set
def do(self):
reservations = Reservation.objects.all()
serializer = ReservationSerializer(data=reservations, many=True)
if serializer.is_valid():
encoded_data = json.dumps(serializer.data)
r = requests.post('http://httpbin.org/post', headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'}, data=encoded_data)
print(r.text)
else:
print(serializer.errors)
And I always get error of
{u'non_field_errors': [u'Expected a list of items but got type "QuerySet".']}
I tried to use values() on query set, and then convert to list, but this way I get objects without nested models
model
class Reservation(models.Model):
start = models.DateField(verbose_name='Заезд', auto_now=False, auto_now_add=False, blank=False)
end = models.DateField(verbose_name='Выезд', auto_now=False, auto_now_add=False, blank=False)
check_in_time = models.TimeField(verbose_name='Время заезда', blank=False)
check_out_time = models.TimeField(verbose_name='Время выезда', blank=False)
has_refund = models.BooleanField(verbose_name='Возвратная бронь', default=True)
payed = models.BooleanField(verbose_name='Оплачено', default=False)
reserved_days = models.ManyToManyField(Day, blank=False)
additional_services = models.ManyToManyField(AdditionalService)
guest_name = models.CharField(verbose_name='Имя гостя', max_length=200, blank=True)
reservation_number = models.CharField(verbose_name='Номер брони', max_length=200, blank=True)
class AdditionalService(models.Model):
payment_date = models.CharField(verbose_name='Дата оплаты', max_length=200, blank=True)
payment_type = models.CharField(verbose_name='Форма оплаты', max_length=200, blank=False)
service = models.CharField(verbose_name='Услуга', max_length=200, blank=False)
quantity = models.IntegerField(blank=False)

price = models.FloatField()
payment_method = models.CharField(max_length = 200, blank=True)

For serialization you don't need to use data keyword, just pass queryset as first positional argument:
serializer = ReservationSerializer(reservations, many=True)
return serializer.data
