Great way to see the island outside of the crowds. Our tour guide Daniel was great! Highly recommend!
Such a wonderful way to see HVAR! I had a friend tell me to use this company and she was not wrong. Comfy Tuk tuks, guides worked together with our group. Showed us so many things and great information. Great way to see a bunch! Also recommended a winery after and that experience was phenomenal! Nothing like local knowledge!!!!
Excellent way to see the island, learn about the herbs and history of the migration of the people from their villages to the coast. Marko was fun to learn from. The tuk tuk ride was exciting as well. We got to meet the grandson of the man who started planting lavender on the island.
We had Daniel as our guide/driver he was wonderful Explaining about the lavender, honey, towns, people & history, even recommending a couple of restaurants and entering one to make sure we could get in. It was knowledgeable and great fun along with great spots for photos
The e-TukTuk tour was absolutely fantastic and perfectly suited to large families (there were six of us in total, including our 2½-year-old). We enjoyed breathtaking panoramic views from the hills above Hvar and from the so-called “Spanish Fortress”. The tour also takes you through several charming little villages, where you can buy local honey, lavender products and souvenirs. A huge thank you to our guide, Marko, who was extremely friendly and attentive to our needs. He also shared lots of fascinating information about Hvar throughout the tour. We highly recommend this experience !
The tour was brilliant. It is an excellent way to see the island when visiting for the day, reaching some fantastic and lesser used viewing points. Daniel made the visit fun and brought to life the history of the Island - even our teenage boys were impressed! Thank you.
Our driver,Daniel, was outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable and very professional. It was a very enjoyable trip.
Matko was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide who gave us a great overview of the beautiful sights in Hvar, along with a flavor of the local history, culture and people. The Tuk Tuk was a fun and quick way to get a great orientation of the island.
Fabulous morning to experience the Hvar culture of our ancestors. Daniel and Marco are exceptional guides
A wonderful way to experience the area of Hvar given limited time. Both Marco and Daniel were exceptional guides.
