The best way to understand Split? Taste it. This tour isn’t about ticking off “must-eats.” It’s about discovering how food in Split isn’t just something you consume—it’s something you inherit. We start where locals start their day: at the Green Market. It’s more than produce. It’s voices, habits, friendships. From here, we move through Split’s edible history.You’ll hear where the coffee is best—and where it’s mostly shared with travelers. You’ll learn what food meant to fishermen, to workers, to families who had little but shared a lot. And how Dalmatia’s layered identity—Roman, Venetian, Ottoman, Yugoslav—still lives on through taste. This isn’t a gourmet tour. It’s a grounded one. It’s not about fine dining, but about meals that carry memory. The ones you remember because someone told you the story behind the bread. By the end of the walk, you’ll have tasted more than ingredients. You’ll have tasted a way of life.
From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 17.
Our journey will begin with a breathtaking view of the old town and Diocletian's palace. Then, we will walk to our first stop. A bite of Dalmatian delicates and I will share some local stories and tell you about the ways we prepare food.
This is where we'll stop to talk to vendors, see what they've made, and taste it. Farmers' products tell the most compelling stories.
Did you know Split was born within the walls of the Diocletian palace? We will walk around to see ancient houses blended with modern architectural solutions. We will start our journey below the city and walk our way up to the narrow streets and modern city of Split.
We'll make a delightful stop to taste award-winning chocolate directly from a local producer at their cozy mini shop.
On our way to make a wish by rubbing a toe on the majestic Grgur Ninski statue, we will stop to taste the award-winning local chocolate.

Mirjana was a wonderful guide! She was friendly and insightful, and helped introduce us to the city of Split. She combined storytelling about the food with a history of the country and the people. We felt like we were having a coffee with a friend - she took her time and we never felt rushed :)
Mirjana was a wonderful guide. She adapted the schedule and tour for us. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk through history, discussion on current affairs and of course the food and coffee.
Been on quite a few tours in my life and this one was by far and none the best. Mirjana really makes you imagine what it was like living during the Roman Empire era. Thought I knew all there was to know about Split and even Croatia but boy was I wrong. She even goes into depth about Croatia's many battles and wars from the past to most recent war for independence in the 90's. 10 out of 10 well worth it, you won't be disappointed. Thanks again Mirjana, do sljedećeg put!!
Mirjana took my wife, my daughter and her partner and my son around her town of Split last week. It was without a doubt the BEST walking tour I have ever done in ANY city. It was impassioned, inciteful, interesting, funny, moving, historical, and completely enjoyable from start to finish. We were with Mirjana for about two and a half hours but we could have liked to have been with her for two and a half days. We all loved it. We walked past various hisorical sites and learned about much more than just the history since Mirjana and her family a truly local. She has a deep understanding of how life in Split has changed over the decades and centuries. She has a feeling for people and culture, and she shared it with us in such a beautiful and engaging manner, we hung onto her every word. We stopped in a few shops, sampled some local BURRATA, and met some artisans she knows. It was unforgettable. If you are planning a trip to Split I would implore you to book a walk with Mirjana. Mirjana - THANK YOU! If ever you are visiting Melbourne, Australia please please look us up. We would be honoured to host you and return the incredible experience!
I have been on several walking tours and my tour of Split with Mirjana tops the list. Her knowledge, energy, and ability to personally connect and engage made this a most memorable and wonderful experience. She is a delight. Not only did I learn about this history of Split but the Croatian culture and what daily life is life for Croatians today. As she said, every corner has a story, and she is a great storyteller!!
Mirjana was just wonderful. She was tuned in to our particular interests and needs. This was the perfect tour for us and I sense that Mirjana adjusts what she does to fit the needs of her tour members. So often, guides tend to force members of a tour group to listen to canned presentations, whether there is interest or not. Mirjana was careful not to do this. She also took us to a couple of places more frequented by locals, which is exactly what we enjoy.
Had THE BEST with Mirjana. Was an awesome time, made even better that she isn't a "typical" Croatian tour guide, ako have a tendency of being a bit dry abd rehearsed. Mirjana is authentic and enthusiastic. Just heed my advice, if you want a great time, book her!!!
Absolutely legend. Extremely well done tour with great personal touch Would definitely recommend Best tour
The tour was great, Mirjana answered all my questions and showed me what it is really like to live in Split as a local. Her knowledge of the old times is wonderful and the way she presents the history is engaging. Highly recommend the tour with her if you want to know about the modern and the history of Split as a whole.
Knowing Split with Mirjana was like traveling back in time. We fell in love with the city and its history thanks to its wonderful story. We really enjoyed discovering the traces of the past in every corner. Thank you so much for making us never forget the city of Split.
