I was born in Ljubljana, capital of Slovenia. Completed secondary school studies, with particular interest in design and photography. Studied Administrative sciences at University, and after graduating worked for a large company in Ljubljana in their Marketing and Sales department. I remember as a young girl, on our first family holiday, visiting Hvar, with its beautiful scenery, amazing food, beautiful beaches, warm people and a nice smell of lavender and other herbs. Years later, I visited Hvar again with some friends. It remained the peaceful island I had remembered, with stunning scenery and friendly locals. Just the remedy needed for a full time, hard working girl in a very stressful job. Whilst in Hvar I met, and fell in love with a local fisherman, Tonći. We married and decided to live in Hvar. As a young girl, I promised my mother that one day I would return to live in Hvar. My dream has now come true. I still see my beautiful Hvar though the eyes of that young girl, but with a few changes… My years of experience in hospitality combined with the true Croatian passion and tradition will guarantee you a memorable adventure with me. Amazing Hvar is really the only way to describe this magical island. Let me show you and start discovering this unique island full of hidden places, stunning views, magnificent food and wine… Split - Dalmatia County licensed tourist guide - School for design and photography - University for Public administration I am permitted to guide in English, Slovene and Croatian. I have a skipper license, but for boat tour we will have skipper driving us. I do not have any other restrictions in regard to my guiding.

Overview of your Hvar tour

I am a passionate food lover, baker and love good wine. Especially I love when a Dalmatian tradition and flavors are involved. With all the great food I like wines from the island combined in tradition. Traditional Hvar delicacies are an important part of Dalmatian tradition. When you come on the island of Hvar you are awarded a rhapsody of flavors that no one can resist. Want to try homemade olive oil, honey, wine, and chocolate with a combination of fresh ingredients and Mediterranean fruits and herbs, such as lavender, sage? Try this perfect combination with a bit of history and health benefits.

We had a memorable tour with Urska who is very knowledgeable about Hvar and Croatian history and culture. The places we visited, people we met and the history shared by Urska told brought Hvar to life in a way that would not have been possible on our own. She has great energy and went above and beyond to ensure we had a special time. I would highly recommend Urska and we can't wait for our next tour with her!!

Urska was the most fabulous, informative, kind, interesting and fun tour guide! We enjoyed every minute of the tour and felt like we had truly seen, experienced and learned about so many different aspects of the beautiful island of Hvar — culture, food, climate, geography, economy, and history — all in the most relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. She clearly loves what she does — sharing interesting stories and helping us have a fantastic experience in Hvar! I highly recommend the Hvar food tour with Urska!

Urska was an awesome guide! She worked with us to customize an all-day tour of Hvar and she shared all the best of the Island. She was fun to be around and she made the day special. I recommend her completely!
