BEST BOAT TOUR OF A 3 MONTH EUROPE TRIP - HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR WHILE IN HVAR. Best boat experience I’ve had while on a 3 month Europe trip. Toni was diligent in informing us of a meeting place and all went extremely smoothly. (I had suspicions booking on get your guide as it was a new tour that it may be Fake but after contacting tony he informed me straight away it was the real thing which was great !). The boat was not over packed with people like other boat tours we saw on our day out and we had plenty of space. Toni’s son and the skipper were great throughout allowing us plenty of time to swim and enjoy our time, very relaxing not rushed. We went inside a cave, rock jumped and lazed around in the sun at each spot. The rides between places were not long which was great as it allowed more time for our actual tour. There was plenty of water on the boat although no alcohol (Prosecco) as we realised after that this was for private tours only, no stress there. We also were reserved a table at a great winery seafood restaurant and allowed plenty of time to enjoy our time there while getting to see the underwater cellar! Toni’s son the young deckhand was great as we had a young group and it felt like we just had another friend with us. With other boat tours we were cut short by 40 odd minutes as the itinerary had us 40 mins away from the drop off point. This tour worked out that we would only have a 5 minute boat ride to the drop off point so we spent the last hour enjoying the sun and swimming ( the way a boat tour should be). If I’m ever back in hvar I will be using this company again.
