We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with on the food tour. Tea did a great job explaining the history of Split while also providing local insights into the food scene. The restaurants that we tried were delicious and I was able to experience cuisine that I normally wouldn't order. I would highly recommend this trip for someone who wants to learn a bit about the history and eat some tasty cuisine.
The perfect balance between amazing food and a very informative walking tour through the palace grounds and surrounding area. Tea was an amazing guide, full of pride for her city and very knowledgeable on the history of our tour.
We had a wonderful time! Ivana was excellent! We got to learn some history about split and enjoy amazing food and even a local liqueur. You better come hungry because you will leave beyond fall! We highly recommend this tour!!!
We had a wonderful time with Ivana, she helped us understand Split’s history and introduced us to some wonderful food along the way. A great experience, would recommend the tour.
Josipa was a wonderful guide. Friendly, welcoming, inclusive, and professional. We received a fan also in view of the heat which was a lovely touch. Food tour itself was interesting, tasty, and enjoyable. A lovely way to connect with others in the group too. Definitely recommend 👍
Great guide, food generally good. Some of the food was okay not quite of a high standard - beef dish was quite tough. Pastry offering was not q favorite. Information was excellent and an enjoyable evening
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.

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 :)
