Top 10 Cultural Tours in Hvar Island, Dalmatia

July 30, 2021 Franklyn Hardiman

Claiming to be the sunniest spot in all of Europe, the Croatian island of Hvar is the perfect destination for tourists seeking the beauty of Mediterranean beaches without the crowds associated with more well-known destinations. Pathways lined with lavender vines lead to secluded coves, small fishing villages and local vineyards, and ferries and catamarans carry visitors across the calm, blue waters to the surrounding islands, all worthy of exploration.

We had an absolutely incredible day on our cycle tour of Hvar. The highlight of the island! Grgo is the kindest person and tells the amazing story of this island through history and his family's experience. The bikes were great and the entire day was so well orchestrated. We never would have been able to experience Hvar like this on our own. At the end of the day, we got to sample his amazing wine and treats from Hvar. I highly recommend this company for a truly enjoyable and memorable experience.

We took Hvar Lavender Tour in the very beginning of July. This was a great choice for this year, because lavender was still blossoming. However, even if it isn't in bloom the tour is still worth to take. The hiking path leads through picturesque landmarks. While walking we enjoyed beautiful views and sounds of nature. Moreover, it isn't difficult to go because most of the way you get down. Additional many thanks to our guide Tibor, who not only showed us this path, but also provide us with a lot of interesting information about Hvar, its habitants, history and nature. So we had a great time in Hvar and can recommend Lavender Tour to everyone who loves exploring new natural places.

We did a wine tour to Duboković Winery in Hvar. Petar was a fantastic guide and we made a couple stops on the way to learn more about the island, which was incredibly interesting and insightful. Generally a very lovely guy too! The wines were very tasty and like nothing we have had back home in the UK. We decided to take some with us to drink for the rest of our stay - as well as look at ordering more for a delivery back home.

We went on the krka tour! Great driver and exceptional tour guide. He spoke several languages was very informative on historical facts and answered several questions for us. The tour was a great price and well worth our money. They made great suggestions for local food. We were late getting to the bus and they waited for us. You can’t find that anywhere else. The booking agency people are extremely friendly especially Filipa. She is the main reason why we chose to go with her company. This trip and service went above and beyond our expectations!

I've waited way too long to post this review as I wanted to sit and write a novel about how great everything was. However, I'm way overdue and just need to say that Grgo and his family made our trip to Hvar so special. My husband and I did the private Red tour and between the hospitality of Grgo and learning so much more about the Island than you can find by simply staying in town, this is a great option. PLENTY of wine too which is what we were looking for. Thank you, Grgo! We hope to return one day.
