Your was cancelled late the evening before, because we were the only ones booked on it. That was kind of late notice but no big deal.

I did the 7pm evening tour with Dale. Perhaps because it was a Saturday 7pm tour in the middle of October, I was the only attendee. Dale was a great guide, explaining the history of the city plan, walls, palaces and architecture, as well as the broader history of Hvar and its people. I highly recommend his tour!

Average tour. At least the guide should have a coloured umbrella to find her. And please don’t spend so much time on talking about cathedrals , saints etc. Show us more interesting places, beaches, locations for sunrise/ sunset rtc
