Our guide, Kristina, made this experience!! She was so fun and personable! Great balance of history and delicious food tasting. Our first restaurant , Konobe Korta, was a spot we had wanted to try and it did not disappoint! Thank you for a fabulous evening!! And for the future recommendations.

Itinerary

Look for a person outside of Diocletian’s Palace holding an orange spoon to begin your tour of Split’s cuisine, set against the city’s historical scenery.

Follow your guide a very short distance to reach Split’s Green Market, where you’ll sample meats, cheeses, and “peka” bread, as you learn more about the city’s seasonal produce. With your appetite awoken, walk through the Split Old Town to a tavern that specializes in seafood and pasta, for more tasty dishes, this time accompanied by a local wine.

Make sure you have room for more food though as you continue to the city’s oldest pastry shop for gelato and some sweet treats made from old family recipes. It’s there not far from the Riva Promenade that you’ll say goodbye to your guide.

Amy_A, Oct 2025

We really enjoyed our experience. Tried a lot of things we would not have normally picked off a menu and we enjoyed each and every one of them. The Guide was fantastic and was an easy relaxing way to enjoy something new.

Small group and excellent food

Kerry_L, Oct 2025

Ana our guide took us to 3 restaurants where we enjoyed 3 delicious meals. She shared a lot of information about the history of Split and the ways of making prosciutto and olive oil. Our tour group was small and quaint allowing for conversation with Ana and the group.

Girl Trip!

ywszeto, Oct 2025

Food was good for most part; wine was excellent but there wasn’t too much history told. Guide talked more about herself than history of the city. The octopus was not a hit with our group but all the other food was good.

Perfect way to start a trip

Brooke_B, Oct 2025

We booked this as a way to familiarize ourselves with Split and have interesting food on our first night in Split. It was a very good call because Doris was both a fun and knowledgeable tour guide and took us to multiple restaurants to try different Croatian cuisine and wine. There were six in the group and it was fun and easy to chat about the food and our individual travels. I would highly recommend this tour as a great introduction to Split.

Brilliant value for money

geoff_w, Sept 2025

Split food tour

Corey_F, Sept 2025

It is a relaxed, upbeat tour. Anna gave us a little history as well. Be prepared for most food to be seafood. The food was ok....the wines were very good!

Don’t miss this!

Barbara_D, Sept 2025

This was one of our favorite tours! We were only in Split a short time so it was nice to combine sightseeing, a bit of a history lesson and good food all in one tour. Our guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend it.

Abby_M, Sept 2025

My husband and I LOVED this experience! We got to try lots of food/wine and explore old town! I’d recommend to anyone!

Christina is the best!

Scott_S, Sept 2025

This tour is a great way to explore the city, learn about its history, all while tasting great Croatian food. We were able to try some cheeses, and foods at the local market that the local restaurants don’t have available. However, our tour guide, Christina, was the best part. She was so knowledgeable and friendly, it felt like we were just having lunch with a friend.

Laszlo_G, Aug 2025

It is overall a great experience. I recommend it to anyone who would like to experience what local people eat in Split. The dishes all looked great and also tasted really good. I don't know what other guides are like but our guide Hani was great. She was really friendly, shared interesting facts and stories and was overall somebody pleasant to be around. In my opinion everyone should try it.
