    My family and I have done this tour twice now. It is a great way to spend a day getting a tour of the Hvar Island for friends/family visiting. Dinko our driver was outstanding. The wine tasting was excellent and the lunch was also amazing. The next time we have friends and family visiting we will book this trip again. Definitely worth the price!

    What a fabulous day we spent with Dinko as our guide! We enjoyed the scenic stops, the knowledge and history he was able to provide regarding so much of what we saw, and the wine and olive oil tastings were fantastic! The meal was delicious. It was a perfect day!

    Ursa was a great guide and very fun to spend the afternoon with. We enjoyed each spot and appreciated the chance to see some of the less touristy aspects of Hvar, including Stari Grad. The lunch was great, the wine very good. It was a great change of pace from our days on the water.

    We had an amazing time on this tour. We learned so many interesting things from Dinko and saw what seemed like the entire island. He truly is an expert and gives an authentic local perspective. The wine and food tastings were top-notch as well. Would highly recommend this tour.

    Dinko was our guide for the day, and what a day it was! We started the tour driving to Napoleon's fortress (and we thought the view from Fortica fotress the previous day was incredible...but this was just over the top wow!). We toured a couple of lovely villages (the poet's house in Stari Grad was a highlight), with many stops along the way. Dinko provided historical information, but more importantly, personal insight and stories from his family's home island. We learned why most of Hvar's landscape looks the way it does and so many other interesting facts. The stop at Tomic for wine tasting was a lovely break, and then onto the grand finale...a tour of and dinner at the abandoned village. Dinko waited outside and hung out with some of the staff while my husband and I enjoyed one of the most unique, delicious meals we've had in years. It was a very fun and special day. <3
