    Excellent evening (we did the 5pm tour) and Ivan our guide was very knowledgable and informative. This was more than an ‘old city’ tour, and the gastronomic experiences along the way were excellent, especially the Adriatic fish and meat platters at Muma’s Food and Wine and the traditional tuna and monkfish dishes at Skalinada Seafood & Steak.

    Highly Recommend

    Denise_M, May 2025
    “Ted” was amazing!! He was so knowledgeable about the history of Split and kept it very interesting. Our first stop served a small plate of meats and cheeses, served with bread and wine. Delicious. Our second stop was filled with so many delicious dishes and the locals were wonderful. While I did indicate we had a vegetarian in our group, and validated with Ted, there seemed to be a disconnect with the two restaurants who were unaware of the situation leaving them to scramble to provide for that person. Truly, the restaurants want to look prepared but there’s definitely a breakdown in communication somewhere.

    Split Seafood Delight with history

    Lucas was a sensational tour guide. He spoke very clearly for my wife who is hard of hearing. His pace was excellent my wife was in scooter and I found the tour very accessible with just a couple steps for bathrooms. The food was outstanding especially squid ink seafood risotto with octopus. Lived Split highly recommended

    Do not go if you’re vegan or gluten-free

    Sheila_D, Sep 2023
    Memorable…I signed up as a vegan taking a food tour based on the online description, which include specialty diets, including gluten-free, and vegan. The guide didn’t know I was vegan, and the restaurants were not prepared. The worst experience of my life, and I think I am due a refund. I paid good money for a terrible experience. Oh, and the tour guide left us at the restaurant so he could go look for something he lost.

    Great tour with excellent wine and food along the way

    So much food

    Ivan was great. He worked with us on our very tight timeline to ensure we saw as much as possible and ate as much as possible. Great experience and would highly recommend Ivan!

    Wonderful tour!

    Ivana was wonderful! She gave us a history lesson on Split as she walked us around the city center, and took us to some great places to experience Croatian food! We enjoyed the tour very much!

    Jelena is the best private tour guide

    Michael_K, Jul 2022
    Jelena is such a fun and informative guide! My wife and I had a great time exploring Split with her. We highly recommend her for a private tour.

    Private tour with Jelena

    Peter_P, Oct 2021
    Jelena was a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide in Split at the Diocletian castle. It is clear she enjoys telling stories about history and she knows lots of people in the shops and restaurants. I would 100% recommend her. It is also notable that this is a private tour although not advertised that way. She can accommodate start time changes and customize the tour. Viator should reflect this in the website listing.
