Overview

We look at experience Hvar a little bit differently. We know that for a mind blowing experience you need to touch someone’s senses: tastes, smells, sounds and pictures – this all makes a vacation. In order to create something really special, you also need to touch someone’s heart. We like to call this effect Hvar in heart and that’s why we know that you don’t want to miss our tours.

What To Expect

Think you saw all that Hvar has to offer?! Came in with a catamaran or speedboat transfer, visited important historical places, had a cocktail at Palmižana – Pakleni islands, dinner in one of Hvar’s many great restaurants, visited Vis & Blue cave.. Check list completed. You can move to the next destination. Or. Check again.. And book that extra night (or take the late afternoon catamaran). Stay. Because you do not want to miss our Hvar Island tour and Olive oil tasting.

Our best guide will show you Hvar from a different perspective - inland. As an island full of spectacular views that stretch over lavender fields all the way to Pakleni islands, Vis, Korčula, Brač and Šolta… And that awaits just 5 km from Hvar.

Once you are picked up at your hotel/accommodation we will start our drive by taking the “old road”, how locals call it. We will pass through old villages Brusje and Velo Grablje and through famous lavender fields. Stop, breathe the aromatized air, enjoy the view.

Driving further towards Jelsa where we are going, visit the best local wine and olive oil producer on the island. You will be able to enjoy his own produced macerated olive oils in an intimate candle lit wine cellar. Perfect to take a break from the sun. Try basil or sage flavored olive oil and let your taste buds convince you that it was worth to extend that stay.

It is time for “Little Venice”- Vrboska, a small fisherman village which is popular by that name due to its canal and small bridges that connect the two parts. This picturesque little town will leave you breathless. Leaving Vrboska we will drive through UNESCO protected plain, Ager (Hora). This field is the best preserved Greek cadastre in the Mediterranean. Driving back towards Hvar, we have one more surprise for you. We will take you for a walk in a small village Malo Grablje. An ancient village founded in the 16th century and abandoned many decades ago.

Perfect end to your vacation in paradise. A tour that left you feeling great and relaxed and so pleased you saw more - true essence of Hvar and Mediterranean.

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

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!!!

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
