Laura was our guide, and she was amazing. She really engaged with us, taking time to explain not only the dishes but also local history and background on the rationale for the foods’ history. It was time and money well spent, and I highly recommend this tour.
It was a pleasure to have you with us. The fact that the day stayed with you after it ended is exactly what we hope every guest takes away. We'd be delighted to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours!
Our guide Maris was great - very bubbly and knowledgeable. It was lovely to taste the Croatian dishes and a good way to spend a few hours. However, we paid nearly 100€ each and I'd say there wasn't enough food (or exclusivity that you couldn't find yourself) to warrant that price. The nuts in the market were delicious but the seller has the free samples we were given available to any passer by. Burek was also amazing, but we had the equivalent of 1/3 each (although Maris kindly offered my husband another 1/3). Most of the other dishes were widely available - food in Dubrovnik is delicious! We did another food tour in Prague and it was significantly cheaper and more satiating than this. We met some lovely people on the tour who gave us some good tips to enjoy the city but for the cost, I wouldn't choose this tour again.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed your time with Maris and appreciated her knowledge and enthusiasm, as well as the opportunity to discover Croatian cuisine and connect with fellow guests along the way. We also appreciate your perspective on the value of the experience. Our tours are thoughtfully curated to showcase the local food scene through a selection of authentic tastings that are spaced throughout the walk, while also offering the stories, history, and cultural context behind each stop. We aim to create an experience that goes beyond simply sampling food, and many of our guests have found that combination to be a worthwhile way to explore the city. That said, we understand that value can be measured differently from one guest to another, particularly when comparing experiences across different destinations. Your comments are appreciated as we continue refining our tours and ensuring they deliver the experience our guests expect. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. We hope you'll consider joining us again on another tour in the future so we can provide you with an experience that better reflects what so many of our guests have come to enjoy!

My husband and I took this food tour this afternoon, and it was one of the highlights of our time in Dubrovnik! Our guide, Maris, was warm, genuine, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, culture, and local culinary specialties. She made every stop interesting and engaging, sharing stories and insights that brought Dubrovnik to life. The food was delicious and gave us a wonderful taste of the region’s specialties, including black Risotto, oysters, Burek, and gelato.. Maris’s enthusiasm and passion made the entire experience so enjoyable that I hardly even noticed the sweltering July heat. If you’re visiting Dubrovnik and want an authentic, informative, and fun experience, I highly recommend this food tour. Thank you, Maris, for such a memorable afternoon!
It was great sharing the day with you. Thank you for taking the time to write, and we hope you'll join Secret Food Tours again soon!
The hostess, Maris, was pleasant and instantly approachable. She was very knowledgeable about Dubrovnik itself and the food we were tasting. She ensured everyone on the tour felt involved as we went from place to place. Each item we ate or drank was very good and by the end of the tour all of us were suitably fed and watered. The staff at each establishment we visited was also very polite and courteous and made the whole group feel welcomed.
We're grateful to receive your review! It's always rewarding to hear when guests leave with new favorites and lasting memories from their time with us. We'd love to welcome you back to Secret Food Tours.
