“Dom was amazing! His understanding of the nuances of wine (especially local wines) as well as olive oil is second to none and having grown up in Dubrovnik, his understanding of the city’s history was an added bonus.

“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…”
