TOUR DESCRIPTION
 

Hvar Shore Excursion

This half day Hvar shore trip is a memorable treat for all the senses, taking you to off the beaten paths of Hvar. You will smell lavender, taste a local delicacy, see picturesque Dalmatian villages and hear the waves breaking on the beaches of this beautiful island.

After meeting your guide at the port in Hvar you immediately depart for the village of Brusje. The island of Hvar is known for its lavender and the air is often tinted with the sweet smell of this pretty flower. Brusje is a typical Dalmatian village whose old houses line the main street. Lavender growing and processing keeps the local economy turning here and today you will learn about the various products and uses it has here in the Adriatic. After a short walking tour you learn about lavender production and then relax while you enjoy a local cake with coffee or tea (not included).

Next you drive to Vrboska, the smallest settlement on Hvar which boasts an eclectic mixture of architectural styles including romantic and Gothic. While you are here you visit the Fishermans Museum and the 16th Century Church of St Mary of Mercy. A surprisingly attractive building, this church was originally built as a defense fortress against invading Turks.

Your final stop is Milna which is located in a protected cove with two sandy beaches that are separated from each other by a pine forest.

At the end of your tour, you return to the port in Hvar.

Note: This tour is intended for June, July or August during the lavender season.

Mobility: Folding wheelchair OK, some sites may be inaccessible (advance notice required)

Reviewer: Andrew H from West Milford, New Jersey  
I couldnt have asked for more. Guides and divers were ALL professional,  informative, and  personalites were a pleasure. Everything they told us was NOT read from a script, which made it more pleasurable. I will recommend you to our cruise friends on their next sailing.

The tours were great that we booked, I would certainly book more private tours, some of them are a little pricey, but the ones we booked were certainly good, the guides were very knowledgeable.

I certainly did enjoy my vacation, and want to thank you for the excellent service you provided, as well as the additional recommendations you were kind enough to research for me. The private tours all exceeded our expectations. The drivers were prompt, knowledgeable and courteous. Also, the hotels you suggested were perfect. I will surely consider your services in the future, and recommend them to others. Thank you.

Reviewer: Jill D from Bronx, NY  
I wanted to let you know how pleased we were with our guides but also how terrific the web site is. I can honestly say that your guides went out of their way to accommodate us. My husband is 80 and has trouble walking but they made sure he saw and did what he was able to. The cruise line mass merchandises their excursions and they really do loose something. This was spectacular to have private guides and the pricing was certainly less than anything the cruise offered. In some ports they dont even offer the private car and guide so this was a vacation saver for us since you gave us the opportunity to see sites we never would have. Thank you and continued success.
