Excellent food tour. Great history explanations and sightings as well. And you had the opportunity to buy delicious local wines at three of the stops in essence creating your own food and wine experience. One of my all time favorites. Thanks Dino!!

This was a great food tour! The food was excellent and there was plenty of it. Despite this, by far the best part of the tour was our guide Marina - she was spectacular! We highly recommend her to anyone traveling to Split (or anywhere Marina is doing her tours)!

Caroline_B, Apr 2026
This tour was great fun, Dino was a great tour guide. The pace was great, the history of Diocletian was very interesting and the foodstops were good. Being shoulder season, we had smaller group and this was perfect. The city is very interesting and has a rich history. We both very much enjoyed.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you, Caroline! We are happy to hear you both enjoyed the experience and that the pace worked well for you. It’s great to hear you were pleased with our local dishes, and found the history of Diocletian’s Palace along the way interesting. We appreciate your kind words and recommendation, Dino :)
Jennifer_P, Apr 2026
Tea was awesome! Just enough history. Food was delish and focused on local specialties. Highly recommend! Note if you do a food tour in Dubrovnik the menu is very similar.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you, Jennifer :) We are really glad you enjoyed the local specialties of Dalmatia, including some traditional dishes that originated in Split, along with the history of the city and Diocletian’s Palace along the way to each restaurant venue. It’s great to hear Tea made the tour enjoyable for you, and we really appreciate your recommendation!
Michelle_R, Apr 2026
We joined this tour June of 2025, and had so much fun going to different restaurants and stalls in Split. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting details about the area. Highly recommend.

Thank you, Michelle. We are really glad you enjoyed your experience with us and the selection of dishes we serve across our different restaurant venues. It’s nice to hear you had such a fun time learning about the city along the way with your local guide. We truly appreciate your recommendation :)
Elaine_A, Nov 2025
Ivanna is an excellent food tour guide. She took us to amazing restaurants to taste local specialties. We would have never found them without her. We had procuiitto that was naturally sea air dried, black cuttlefish risotto, the best local olive oils, breads and sea salt and more. The wine, the foods were all delicious! I highly recommend that you ask for jelavic@gmail.com. She is the best, mixing, history, culture and best foods to eat in Split.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Elaine, thank you for your kind review! We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the food, wine and local places visited on the tour - Ivana will certainly appreciate your feedback.

John_K, Oct 2025
We felt like we were with family on this tour. Ivana, our guide, was outstanding! A great historian and foodie. Being a local, she used her knowledge and experiences growing up in Spilt to teach us how the history of the area influenced the foods we tasted on our journey through the city. Food portions at each 5 stops were enough to leave us with full bellies by the time we were done. Highly recommended!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
John, we’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the tour and that Ivana’s stories and local insights helped connect the history of Split with our local dishes. It’s great to know you left with full bellies and happy memories, thank you for the wonderful review and recommendation!
Laura_Y, Oct 2025
Ivana was our tour guide and she was amazing. She has lived in the region her whole life, and is bright, intelligent, and enjoyable. Ivana's knowledge of the history and culture of Split, and Croatia as a whole, was highly impressive. Each food stop was well-prepared, clean, and situated around the old town so as to see important sites. The five samplings/meals represented Croatian culture, were tasty, and more than enough for a large mid-day meal and dessert. The afternoon was delightful- yummy and fascinating!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you, Laura! We're really glad you enjoyed your afternoon with Ivana, along with our local dishes and sights. Ivana, like all of our guides, is a local born and raised in Split, and it means a lot to know her knowledge and passion came through during your tour :)
Kristina_W, Oct 2025
They are a very good company to work with. Easy to work with and easy to place an order. I would recommend them to everyone. Thank you for all your help.
Response from Host, Oct 2025

Randy_S, Oct 2025
This was a wonderful food tour with 6 great stops. The guide Dino went out of his way to show us everything along the way and tell us about the history of Split. I would recommend it to everyone.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you, Randy! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour, our local dishes and learning about the history of Split along the way. Your recommendation means a lot! - Dino :)
Cory, Oct 2025
Dino picked a good mix of restaurants and food to highlight Croatian cuisine. He also reviewed Croatian history which overlapped with a history tour we had taken earlier.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hi Cory, we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food selection and chose to join us. The tour was also designed to include sightseeing and some history of Split and Diocletian’s Palace along the way, as we make our way between our restaurant venues for each course, as described in our listing. There’s no need to take a separate history tour, but we understand that by doing so beforehand, there would certainly be some overlap. We’re happy you still enjoyed the overall experience - Dino :)
David_K, Oct 2025
Our guide was wonderful, easy to listen to and had lots of great stories regarding food and the history of Split!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hello David, we’re glad you enjoyed both our local dishes and the stories shared along the way. Thank you for joining us and for taking the time to leave a review :)
Sean_C, Oct 2025
We had an absolutely wonderful day with Yvonne (SP). She was funny, charming, and full of historical information that really brought depth to the food tour. The food was delicious. I especially loved charcuterie on the first and the cuttlefish risotto on the second, but every stop was delicious. If you like food, I highly recommend this your.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hello Sean, we’re glad you enjoyed our local dishes, especially the charcuterie and cuttlefish risotto ;) It’s also great to hear that your guide and the historical stories added more to your experience. Thank you for joining us and for recommending the tour!
cdefonsohotmailcom, Oct 2025
Had a wonderful time with Marina! She is a fabulous guide! She gave a lot of context about the restaurants we visited, as well as provided great information about Diocletian Palace and other historical places in the city. We had 4 sit down restaurants and 1 gelato stop in the span of 4 hours. They were able to accommodate my pescatarian food preferences. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to understand the culinary influences in Split and learn about other historical spots!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hello, we’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed the combination of local food and history on the tour, and that Marina shared so much insight along the way.

The tour was great! Dino was a great tour guide providing insights into the history of the city as well as a perspective on the food. The restaurants were all wonderful and nice local spots. Highly recommend, great way to see the city and learn about the local cuisine.
Response from Host, Oct 2025

Niketa_D, Oct 2025
Our guide, Ivana, was phenomenal… warm, welcoming, knowledgeable and a true pro. Food was hit or miss, as far as flavors and preparation goes (squid ink risotto was way undercooked, but the charcuterie board at the first location was so good!), but even at the restaurants where the food was so-so, the setting and ambience made up for it.
I highly recommend this tour, for the history and culture, also a great way find restaurants you may not stumble upon on your own…
Thanks to Ivana for taking such good care of us!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hello Niketa, we will be sure to pass along your glowing review to Ivana, who will be very happy to hear this! In Croatia, risotto is typically prepared a little more on the al dente side, which we understand may not be to everyone’s palate, but we’re glad you enjoyed the food overall and the local venues we visit, as well as the history of Split and its culture. Thank you for joining us and for recommending :)
Doris_W, Oct 2025
