I went for this walking tour during my recent trip a month ago. I explored some of Hvar’s most beautiful spots. I am happy that I was able to spend some extra time at a local art gallery and learned about the island’s history, architecture and traditions. I also appreciate the personal touch. We stopped at a cozy café for a quick coffee and heard stories about local life, which added to the experience. The guide also shared some helpful tips for exploring Hvar on my own afterward.
This walking tour was a decent introduction to the island, The guide was friendly and provided interesting insights into the local history and traditions. The tour covered key landmarks, making it a great way to explore the island. Overall, it was a fantastic way to experience Hvar.
The cost of this 2 hour was/is outrageous!!! After returning from Croatia and comparing the private tours we took on land and sea, in terms of quality and cost, hands down the cost for this private tour for 4 people was absolutely the MOST expensive!!! We walked up and back to the fortress. We did not walk to any of the other sites listed on the itinerary. We went on a 3 hour canyoning trip and a 17 mile bike tour for LESS than this short tour!!!! Look elsewhere.
