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.

Natasha was very knowledgeable and engaging. There was too much food though. The second stop with wine and tapas should have been the first. And the third stop with the sausages could have been one small plate for four people after the large meal at the first stop.
Andrea_H, Jul 2026
Come very hungry! I had a wonderful tour with Natasha. She is very passionate about food and Croatian culture. Highly recommend for solo female travelers- she gave great Croatia travel trips and recommendations.
Nikki_M, Jul 2026
The food and history tour with Natasha was incredible!!! She was so kind, very knowledgeable about the city and cuisine, told funny jokes throughout the tour, and gave us a ton of recommendations for the rest of our trip. Definitely go hungry because it is a ton of food!
maryphelps, Jul 2026
We loved the food tastings and wine. We do a food/gastro experience, walking tour everywhere we go. It's a great way to 'eat' your way through the local cuisine as well as get a feel for what is fresh and available. Natasa, was wonderful. She gave us the history of the Palace and old town as well as other Splint info. The only issue, which she had Zero control over, was the heat. Fortunately a couple of our stops were indoors.
