This was an awesome experience! Our tour guide, Lucija, took us to the best food places and was so knowledgeable about Split and Croatia in general. She spent extra time with us and was so fun. She even sent a list of helpful things after the tour, like what else to see, where to eat, where we stopped, etc. The other guests in our group were so diverse and fun. 10/10 experience!
We truly appreciate your review. It's wonderful to know your time with us became such a memorable part of your visit. We hope Secret Food Tours is part of your next adventure!
Lucija took us on a wonderful tour around Split, sharing information about the old city and Croatian cultural wisdom. And of course the local food and wine was excellent! I loved all of it, the crispy skin pork belly in the green market was my absolute favourite.
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!
