Private Authentic Local Food At Family Home Experince

A Great Vacation Experience

Make sure you are hungry when you do this tour. This is a true farm to table experience. Ante, our guide and host and winemaker picked us up in the morning and brought us to the Kravica waterfall. Then we went to his home where we met his mother and sampled her home made spectacular homemade bread, sweets, fruit, prosciutto, turkish coffee and more . Then we went out to tour Mostar where Ante guided us through the bazaar and to the famous bridge. Then it was back for the main course. Ante's mom served us peka. This is a traditional dish of slow cooked meat & potatos and spices (at restaurants you have to order this at least 24 hrs in advance). There was a homemade cheesecake, Ante's homemade wine flowed freely and we sampled his liquors as well. It was an unforgettable experience

Surprise in the plain

Our group of friends travelled to Croatia in the autumn of September 2019 and had a hotel manager before departure who did not mention that on the way from Split to Dubrovnik you could enter Bosnia for a local lunch. At first, we didn't care much, but here (tripadvisor) after seeing a lot of food photos and happy guests sitting at the table from all countries, we started to rethink, and also wanted to arrange for ourselves a rich lunch, after all, not everyone has the opportunity to go to Bosnia to have a rural lunch, right? As a result, after approximately 40 minutes of waiting, we quickly reached Ante’s home in the village of Hardomilje, after two customs inspections in Croatia and Bosnia. Simple and clean, the garden is beautiful and beautiful, we were surprised and ate a lot of delicious and traditional food, the quality is impressive! Whether it’s homemade wines, fruits, a variety of grilled meats, vegetables, the best Peka grilled meat dishes, and Mom’s lightweight cherry cake, we were really amazed. Although the food in the dish is unusual at first, the taste of traditional fireworks is not possible in a five-star hotel! Cakes are also traditional flavors and can not be bought in the street cakes. We also feel a strong kindness for the enthusiasm and affection of the Ante family, we love not only their simplicity and enthusiasm, and we feel like we are back in Taiwan home. We can only say that it was a warm and comfortable and delicious lunch, thanks to Ante's mother, cousin and Ante's planning. There is a chance we will come again! (First of all, thank you for Sanja's recommendation!)

Amazing Day out!!!

We had an amazing experience traveling from Split to Dubrovnik. Vibor was our host for the day and he was so much fun and an excellent guide as we traveled. Picked up from our hotel in Split we ventured into Bosnia and Herzegovina and stopped at Ante's mothers house for breakfast. She was busily preparing lunch for us for later on that day although breakfast was already so filling. After breakfast we headed to see Stari Most which is the famed bridge in Mostar which was awesome. After Mostar we headed back to Ante's mothers house for lunch where we ran into Ante as well who was an awesome guy always making sure we were comfortable and had plenty of food. Lunch was superb the finest home style cooking you'll get with the freshest meat and vegetables on offer. After lunch we enjoyed a peaceful river cruise on Ante's boat which was so calming. We next headed to Ston where the locals farmed oysters which we couldn't get enough of, they were delicious!! We were finally taken to our hotel in Dubrovnik, This was the best way to travel from Split to Dubrovnik, seeing so much on the way. Thank you to our driver Vibor (such a great guy) and to Ante's Private tours service for looking after us so well.

Something different - Something amazing!

I could not say enough wonderful things about this tour. I had a group of 11, and was trying to find a way to get from Split to Dubrovnik, when I came accross this tour. What a great way to get from A to B and have one of the best experiences of our time in Croatia. Ante (and his wonderful tour guide whose name escapes me - sorry!) picked our group up from our accommodation in Split, and from there began a perfect day. Getting to see the country side of Croatia and Ante's home village of Hardomilje, was wonderful. The country side was beautiful, and Ante's commentary was fun and educational. Arriving at Ante's home was an unexpected treat. We met his mother who was working very hard over the meal she was preparing for us, preparing incredible bread, and serving a "snack" which could have easily passed for the main meal if we hadn't known any better. After our snack, we toured Ante's village which included a beautiful boat trip enjoyed while drinking Ante's incredible home made wine. We then headed back for lunch, which was amazing. It was a lot of food made from local produce, accompanied with that spectactular wine again. Just when we didn't think we could eat another bite, Ante's mum had our mouth watering again with the most incredible cheesecake. I couldn't get enough of it (and I don't even care for cheesecake!). After lunch we all headed to our accommodation in Dubrovnik, in a blissful state of food coma. He dropped us at the door to our villa (which was not easy considering the road leading to the villa!) and thus ended one of the most perfect days of our trip to Croatia. I could not recommend this tour enough. It is the perfect example of the beauty and hospitality of Croatia. We have a group of family and friends from two different continents that like to get together in a different country every couple of years. Not only was Croatia our favorite destination so far, but our day with Ante and his family was one of our favorite days from all of our trips. Thank you Ante for giving us such wonderful memories!!

Amazing Day for Soaking Up Local Culture

This is an amazing opportunity to get into the countryside and really be part of daily life--an experience free of vendors and souvenir stands, it's a way to enjoy the fresh local foods and get to know people one-to-one. Do not miss the pomegranate brandy!
