This was one of the highlights of our cruise to Italy and Croatia. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, and the tour and food tastings were perfectly spaced out. Nothing felt rushed; the entire experience was calm and relaxing.
There was plenty of food, and the length of the tour felt just right. I really enjoyed learning about the city and its history while stopping along the way for delicious bites. Highly recommend for any foodie visiting Split!
Ivanna was the best tour guise I jave ever experienced, her knowledge and enthusiasmwas contagious. Absolutely wonderful. Super informative and the food was delicious, a little something different for everyone and plenty. You won't leave hungry for food or history. Cannot recommend it enough
We enjoyed the guides great descriptions of the history of Split as well as the foods and restaurant locations. Ivanka was knowledgeable about Split and was able to provide a wonderful backstory for the food and the city.
We love doing food tours and this one was one of the best. Great food and our guide weaved in very interesting historical facts. Split exceeded our expectations. I would do the afternoon/evening tour because if there are cruise ships in, it can be crowded in the historical center in the morning. Loved this tour.
We thoroughly enjoyed our food tour of Split with Mariana!
She was knowledgeable, engaging, funny, and made the history of the Old Town really interesting. It was a wonderful introduction to Split and ended up being especially helpful because we were staying for several more days. After the tour, we felt much more comfortable finding our way around and knew several places we wanted to return to on our own.
The food was also incredibly generous — by the end, there was so much that we simply could not eat it all!
Except for the gelato, of course. 😊
Mariana was a fantastic guide, and this was such a fun way to begin our time in Split. I would definitely recommend doing this tour early in your stay so you can enjoy what you learn for the rest of your visit.
Great tour!! Focus on special restaurants in Old Town with one just outside the main wall. Super personal guide who brought so much history and positive vibe to our tour! Highly recommend!!
We had a great tour with Tea. Enjoyed hearing about the history of Split and the food stops were delicious! A great intro to the City and Croatia.
Fabulous food and really good information about the food we ate and the sights and history of the town. Ivana was a brilliant tour guide - knowledgeable and really engaging. Thank you
Tea related the history of the Dalmatian Castle while introducing us to the best food of Split. She was very knowledgeable and entertaining. All eating establishments were arranged before arriving so that we missed the crowds.
This was a great way to introduce ourselves to Split and to Croatian cuisine. Marina was a wonderful guide. She was friendly helpful and a joy to spend our day with. I highly recommend this tour.
Excellent guide, very interesting and extremely well laid out experience. All the stops were delicious!
Great tour, I would definitely recommend it to friends and family. Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable.

Thank you, Richard, for your review and for joining us at Split Food Tour! We’re really glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us and found your guide friendly and knowledgeable. Your kind words and recommendation mean a lot to us :)
It is much more than a food tour. Our guide Ivana was able to also provide a comprehensive Split history overview, which enabled us to better understand what makes Split tick.
The food sampled across the tour was 5 star and all the locations were great

Thank you for your review, Dimitrios! We’re really glad you enjoyed our (all-in-one) city experience, combining Split’s sights, history and stories along with its local dishes and giving you a deeper understanding of what makes the city tick. It’s also great to hear that Ivana brought everything together so well as your guide. We’re glad you chose to join us, and hope you had a wonderful time in Split :)
Our tour guide Ivanna was amazing. She was friendly and knowledgeable. The food tour was one of the best we have had —because the portions were normal size and each stop built upon the next and by the end you had a six course meal.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for your wonderful review, Kirsten! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour with Ivana and the way our progressive dining experience builds from one stop to the next, with a different course at each restaurant. Technically, there are five stops on the tour, but we’ll happily take the fact that the portions made it feel like a six-course meal ;) We’re especially happy to know it earned a spot on your must do list!
Tea was excellent and lots of different types of food to try. Tea also provided great information. It was a great way to see palace and combine it with fun eating traditional Croatian food.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for your review, Donald! We’re really glad you enjoyed your time with Tea and the variety of our local Dalmatian dishes along the way. It’s also great for us to hear that you enjoyed learning about Split’s history while exploring Diocletian’s Palace and the Old Town, and found it a fun way to experience the city. It was our pleasure to have you join us :)
My wife and I had an outstanding tour with Ivana!! Ivana was an amazing guide- super friendly, personable and extremely knowledgeable. This is as much a history tour as it was a food tour which we loved.
Ivana guided us all around the history center. We made 5 different stops experience local cuisine which was excellent. You will most certainly not leave this tour hungry.
We would highly recommend this tour and especially Ivana!!

Thank you for your review, Vanessa! We’re really glad to hear that you enjoyed discovering Split through its local dishes and history, and having a local guide along the way. It was great having you join us :)
We loved every minute of it. Ivana was an amazing guide as we strolled around the UNESCO heritage site in the center city. In her excellent English. She shared the interesting history of Croatia and of the culture and food of today. Definitely be hungry because the food was delicious and generous at five stops: a large charcuterie board, cuttlefish pasta with squid ink sauce, traditional beef pot roast with gnocchi, savory cheese and beef pastries, top off with incredible gelati cones. The three restaurants were a lovely hidden gem plus two stops that were packed with locals and tourists. We were served a shot of the local liquor but any other wine was an additional cost but reasonable at about $7-8 euros. Plenty of water was served at the restaurants which has very nice bathrooms. The memorable tour was well worth the cost. There were big crowds while we walked on a beautiful Saturday July evening but Ivana helped us negotiate them and kept the pace comfortable. No whisper equipment was used but I had no problem hearing her narration even though I wear hearing aids. Ivana answered everything with good humor and seemed to enjoy herself, too. Our tour only had nine people so it made an intimate experience we won’t forget. Highly recommended.

Marina did an excellent tour on this tour. She was friendly, informative, and encouraged the group to ask questions. She provided lots of great information about Split and I had no idea of the city's history so it was fun to listen to her description of Split's past. We ate exceptionally well, too! Highly recommended and thank you Marina!

We're happy to hear you enjoyed your time with Marina and that her knowledge, friendliness and encouragement to ask questions helped you discover more about Split's rich history and culture. We're also glad, of course, that you enjoyed our local dishes ;)
This is an excellent tour for both food and Split and Croatian history. Our Tour guide Ivana was superb. She was full of energy, knowledge, and truly enjoyed her role as a guide. We had done a market food tour a few years ago but this was much better. We had five food stops, all in restaurants. We were served prosciuttos, black risotto, pasticada, burek, and gelato to finish. I can’t say enough about Ivana. She made the tour….and the food was excellent.
