We had a wonderful afternoon with Maris our guide who was lovely & friendly as well as very knowledgeable about all the different foods we got to taste during our experience. This was our first food tasting tour & we would definitely do it again. We toured different locations in Dubrovnik old town tasting lots of traditional Croatian savoury & a few sweet dishes. Portion sizes were good & 2 glasses of wine were included. We started with hot freshly made filo pastry pies stuffed with different fillings which were delicious before moving on to savour lots of other wonderful dishes & finishing up with traditional Croatian lavender & honey ice cream and Dubrovnik bitter orange ice cream. We also stopped off at a local market where we could taste liquers, honey, candied figs etc all made by local people. A fabulous experience, highly recommended.

This is one of the best tours we have ever done. Very informative and the you get to stop and sample the food and drink. Then move on to next spot and sample more food. All the while while be informed and seeing the culture. 5 different sample spots.
Hearing that you enjoyed your time with us is great to hear. We're pleased that the experience left such a lasting impression. We look forward to welcoming you back to Secret Food Tours!
We did the three hour food tour with Maris and it was so lovely - really one of the best food tours I’ve ever been on! Not just that the food was great, but talking to Maris was so insightful. Apart from learning historical facts, I really felt like I got to know what actually living in Dubrovnik today means. Cannot recommend her and the tour more!
It's always nice to receive feedback like yours. We're pleased that your time with us left such positive memories. We hope to see you again with Secret Food Tours!
10/10 travel guide. Extremely nice, warm, and welcoming and very knowledgeable of the city. We also loved hearing about traditional cuisines across Croatia! For the food itself, it was really not good. 2/10 experience. You could do your own walking tour and get the same experience. We walked into an oil shop and tasted the samples that were already set out for customers. We also had a very basic cheese and meat platter that you could get at any shop in the world (felt almost American), and then a commercialized bread stop that felt just okay. Nothing blew our minds. Again, fantastic guide. Food was not worth the experience.

Guide was very knowledgeable and knew Dubrovnik and Croatia. Food choices were average to poor. Wines were OK and nothing to recommend. I would not recommend this tour to anyone.
