Start with pickup from your hotel, apartment or port in Hvar Town, then a short panoramic drive to Napoleon's Fortress, 250 metres above the town, with views over Hvar Town, the Pakleni Islands and the Adriatic. Continue to the hilltop village of Brusje and a family-run estate, where you'll learn traditional methods of producing honey, olive oil and lavender, and taste four types of honey, local spirits and two extra virgin olive oils. The route follows the historic Napoleon Road past terraced lavender fields and dry stone walls to Velo Grablje, a 14th-century village, then Malo Grablje, abandoned in the 1960s, with its roofless stone houses and historic olive mill. The tour finishes in Stari Grad, one of Croatia's oldest towns, with a guided walk and a visit to Tvrdalj Castle, the Renaissance retreat of poet Petar Hektorovic. Then free time to wander, have a coffee by the sea, or eat at a family-run konoba.

This is not a standard history walk. This is an intimate, heartfelt experience led by a local who actively lives the tradition. As a longtime member of KUD Marko Marojica from Župa Dubrovačka and a regular banner carrier in the Feast of Saint Blaise procession, I share stories that most guides simply cannot — because I’ve walked in the procession for nearly 20 years, danced the same steps, and worn the same traditional costumes. You won’t just hear about Saint Blaise — you’ll understand why he still matters so deeply to us today. You’ll learn about authentic folk costumes (including the famous golden vests with toke and heavy heirloom jewelry), the energetic Linđo dance, the soulful sound of klapa, and the living connection between the Old City and the surrounding villages. This tour connects three UNESCO elements (Old City of Dubrovnik, Festivity of Saint Blaise, and Klapa singing) in a personal, emotional way that very few tours can offer.

Your day begins with private pickup in Split, followed by a comfortable drive toward Mostar. After arrival, you will have time to enjoy the atmosphere of the town, explore its historic surroundings, and take in the distinctive character that makes this destination so memorable. The journey then continues to Kravice, where you can relax and admire the beauty of the waterfalls and natural setting. After a day filled with culture, scenic views, and memorable moments, you will return to Split in comfort.

On top of that, you get Grabovaca Cave — one of the most beautiful caves in Croatia that most tourists never find because it's off the beaten path. Two completely different experiences in one day. History in the morning, nature in the afternoon. Join us on this incredible experience and do not miss the opportunity to see first hand the house of one of the most important inventor in human history!

Why is this tour unique? Because it’s basically time travel… with better views and no weird side effects :) In just half a day, you go from feeling like an extra in Game of Thrones (hello, medieval Šibenik ) to casually strolling through a tiny town where everyone probably knows each other—and might know you by the time you leave. You’ll wander maze-like stone streets, admire a UNESCO masterpiece, then suddenly switch centuries and land in ancient Roman vibes in Skradin. And just when you think, “okay, that was already a full day,”—boom—you’re on a boat, cruising into Krka National Park, heading straight for waterfalls that look like nature showing off for Instagram. No long drives. No wasted time. No boring bits. Just a perfectly packed adventure: history, culture, local life, and jaw-dropping nature. Basically, it’s the kind of tour where you finish and go: “Wait... we did ALL that today?!” :) And still have time for a glass of wine after.
