As in any other tourist oriented place, there are numerous options when it comes to how you might go about getting to know Korčula, both the town and the island.
If you decide to take a guided tour, your best bet for getting an amazing personalized experience on Korčula is with the Spirit of Dalmatia agency, run by Toni Lozica (pictured above).
Toni is one of the most recognizable faces of the new wave of tourism on Korčula, as he has been the manager of the five-star Lešić Dimitri boutique hotel since its opening, up until two years ago. That's when he opened his own agency, which now offers you the same quality of attention and knowledge as the five-stars guests received from him in the past.
Toni is one of those people who really, really know a lot about Korčula. Much more, obviously, than any tourist would ever want to know or have time to hear from him, but that means that whatever question you might have about the history or today of Korčula, Toni will have the answer, and will be happy to talk about it. His tours of the town can last for as long as you want: if you want him to just show you the basics, and don't have much interest in architecture or history, that's exactly what he'll do, and than be happy to take you to the wineries, restaurants, olive oil tasting or whatever else is more of your thing.
All of his tours of Korčula, while roughly sketched, are tailor-made to fit the needs of the group - and those are not too big, as he prefers to work with groups of up to 6 people. Sometimes it happens that the groups are larger, and in those situations, the experience will possibly be less personal - but still great.
So, if you're looking for a bespoke tour of Korčula, which will include a tour of the town, a visit to the winery, an olive oil tasting at an authentic location, a meal in one of the best restaurants on the island, or a swim at one of the amazing beaches or anything else you might want to see or do on Korčula, you shouldn't hesitate to contact Toni.
He and his team will work hard to meet any of your specific needs, be it that you don't drink alcohol (in which case you might want to avoid the wineries, but rather have some home-made fruit juices; or even go to the winery to admire the process but without the tasting), are a vegetarian or vegan (if you opt for the meal, it will be done according to your wishes), and you will be able to hear all the important information about Korčula. Toni does his tours in English, Dutch (having lived in the Netherlands for a long time) and Croatian, of course.
