A wonderful experience made all the more extraordinary because of the extra effort by our guide, Maria. Having learned that we had already seen most of what she had planned to show us, she really went out of her way to find even more interesting sights to take us to. The Olive Oil tasting was a great-tasting experience where we learned so much about olive oil from planting to production.

Fantastic tour showing...

Fantastic tour showing different parts of the island; Maria was an excellent guide and showed great knowledge of the history of the island. The stop at the lavender shop was very good. The olive oil visit was very interesting. Would highly recommend!

Disappointing given how much there is to see in Hvar

Ellent1, Sep 2023
This tour was very disappointing. Hvar has some wonderful and historic things to see and I would have loved to hear much more about the history. What we got was olive oil tasting, 2 stops with a beautiful view and a brief walk around Hvar Town. I had been to Hvar before but the other 4 in my group had not. I expected an island tour where we would see some of the important historic parts of Hvar such as Stari Grad, Vrboska and Jesla. We didn’t see or hear about the ancient ruins or any history or information about the island. It was literally two nice views and that was it. There are much better tours out there.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Dear Ellen, thank you for sharing your feedback.We are sorry to hear that the tour didn’t meet your expectations. Our tour is designed as described, focusing on olive oil tasting, scenic viewpoints, and a drive around Hvar Islan, which is what you experienced. We are well aware of everything Hvar has to offer, but unfortunately, it’s not possible to cover all historic sites, ruins, viewpoints and tastings in a single tour. For guests looking for a more in-depth exploration of Hvar’s history, ancient ruins, and other historic sites such as Stari Grad, Vrboska, and Jesla, we do offer other tours specifically tailored to those interests. It’s possible that the tour you booked wasn’t the right fit for the historical experience you were hoping for. We appreciate your input and hope you’ll consider our other tours for a more historical perspective of the island. Kindly Tea

Lovely guide to a lovely place

Loved the tour and our tour guide. Tea was very comprehensive and kind to us. She is a spark, we liked her a lot. In the tour you get to see how they used to live and how they live now. We enjoyed the lavanda fields and the scenics views.

Enjoyable and educational!

Tea is knowledgeable and personable and lovely. She took us on a 3 hour tour, stopped along the way so I could take photos and made the time very enjoyable. I would heartily recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see and learn more about Hvar island.

Wonderful Adventure Around Hvar

Ben_F, Aug 2022
Tea was absolutely wonderful. She met us in the lobby of our hotel and the adventure began. We saw all sorts of interesting sights around the island and felt relaxed and at ease the whole time. The olive oil tasting was certainly a highlight and we couldn't resist getting ourselves some bottles. Truly a one-of-a-kind type of tour and really all around amazing experience!

Tea treated us like dear family friends!!!

AlisonJ_H, Jul 2022
We asked the remarkable Tea for the tour she would want to give to a dear friend -- she gave us that and SO much more!! Our time together included driving to a gorgeous mountain top for amazing views of Hvar and the sea, picking lavender in a field of lavender, a tour and private tasting session at a family-owned olive oil factory and exploring a beautiful old, abandoned village. Tea shared many, many wonderful anecdotes about growing up and living in Hvar. We could not have enjoyed our time with her more. It's no wonder she is in constant demand!!!

Great tour!

We has an awesome experience with Teá today! My partner and I were the only people scheduled for our particular time slot so we had essentially a private tour. Teá was super knowledgeable, fun, and friendly, and did a great job of driving us around the island while keeping us informed the whole while. Highlights included a trip to Vrboska ("little Venice"), as well as the abandoned village of Malo Grablje. The olive oil press and tasting was really interesting and getting to taste many different types of olive oil was a real treat. Would definitely recommend for a fun half-day excursion in Hvar!

Great insight to history of Hvar

We were lucky to be the only 2 on the trip (time of season I guess) so it made this a very personalised tour. Our knowledgeable driver/tour guide gave us an informative tour of Hvar with stops in an abandoned village, a town knicknamed Little Venice and a stop for some Olive tasting at a unique prestigious wine makers home. With stories of island life and explaining the landscape made this a worthwhile and interesting way to see the the island and gave an understanding of how things used to be and why they are now
