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.
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. We’d like to note though that she is one of our licensed local guides who work together as part of our team to host the tour. For anyone else reading this and considering joining us, all enquiries and bookings are handled through the platform, as our guides focus solely on leading the experience and do not have the ability to manage bookings, so we kindly ask that they are not contacted directly on their personal emails. Thank you again for joining us and for sharing your recommendation :)

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 :)

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

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

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.

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 :)

This was a great "food tasting" tour. Our tour guide, Marina, was energetic and knowledgeable, and made the tour fun. The food we enjoyed was incredible. Well balanced, a great pace, and the perfect amount of food from some incredible dining. Marina shared a list of other restaurants for us to enjoy during the remaining days of our visit to Split. My wife and I would highly recommend a food tasting tour of Split with Marina.
