Immerse yourself in local food with a local guide best 4 hours spent around the old town plus learning history along the way
This tour was phenomenal. We have done many food tours around the world, and this one was one of the best. The guide (Tea) was great - extremely knowledgable about not only the food but the area and its history. The food was excellent, with enough time at each stop to enjoy it. Would definitely recommend this tour, without hesitation - you will get a great food tour, but also learn about the area, its history, etc.
Thank you for your review and recommendation! It means a lot to hear that, after experiencing many food tours around the world, you consider 'Split Food Tour' to be one of the best. We're so glad you enjoyed your time with Tea and that her knowledge of the food, local area and history helped make the experience special. It’s also great to hear you appreciated the relaxed pace of the tour and having time to enjoy each of our restaurant venues along the way. Thanks again for joining us and sharing your experience :)
Our family of 4, including two 16-year-old teens, absolutely loved this fantastic tour! Marina, our personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun guide, led us on a delicious culinary and historical adventure through Split alongside one couple and another mom with two teens. It was the perfect blend of Croatian history, local flavor, and just the right amount of food at each location. From the opening bites of Croatian cheese and prosciutto, to a local beef gnocchi favorite, to a sweet gelato finish, every stop was a hit. Beer and wine were also available along the way for a very reasonable price, which made the experience feel even more relaxed and festive. With 5 stops, generous portions, and the perfect amount of time at each place, this tour is a must-do while in the city. Come curious, come ready to wander, and most importantly—arrive hungry!
Thank you, Erin, for your review. We're so pleased to hear you and your family had such a fun time exploring Split with Marina, alongside your fellow travellers, while discovering the city's history and local cuisine. Thank you for joining Split Food Tour and for sharing your experience and recommendation, it really means a lot to us.
Our tour with Ivana was fantastic! All of the food stops were delicious (and quite the variety) but the historical and cultural information inbetween each spot was wonderful! We got the best of both worlds, learning some of the history of Split and trying the amazing foods! Highly recommend! Ivana was well informed, answered all of our questions, and was patient with our kids as well!
Thank you Lindsay, for your kind review! We're so pleased to hear you and your family enjoyed exploring Split with Ivana, a local born and raised in the city, and that the combination of local cuisine, history, and culture made for a memorable experience. Thank you for joining our tour and for recommending us :)
We loved every minute of it. Ivana was an amazing guide as we strolled around the UNESCO heritage site in the center city. In her excellent English. She shared the interesting history of Croatia and of the culture and food of today. Definitely be hungry because the food was delicious and generous at five stops: a large charcuterie board, cuttlefish pasta with squid ink sauce, traditional beef pot roast with gnocchi, savory cheese and beef pastries, top off with incredible gelati cones. The three restaurants were a lovely hidden gem plus two stops that were packed with locals and tourists. We were served a shot of the local liquor but any other wine was an additional cost but reasonable at about $7-8 euros. Plenty of water was served at the restaurants which has very nice bathrooms. The memorable tour was well worth the cost. There were big crowds while we walked on a beautiful Saturday July evening but Ivana helped us negotiate them and kept the pace comfortable. No whisper equipment was used but I had no problem hearing her narration even though I wear hearing aids. Ivana answered everything with good humor and seemed to enjoy herself, too. Our tour only had nine people so it made an intimate experience we won’t forget. Highly recommended.
