What you can expect
This afternoon tour takes you to almost 2000m high Biokovo mountain, stunning and protected nature park. It's highest peak - famous St. George, with it's 1762m above the sea level, is the second highest mountain peak in the whole Croatia. Drive on the highest asphalt road in the country and on the way to the top take a walk on the one of the most popular landmarks of Croatia- famous SKYWALK. This glass platform constructed over the cliffs offers a breathtaking view of the Adriatic sea and the nearby islands.
But, with an idea that experience can always be better, before we drive to the mountain, we will visit a charming coastal town of Makarska. Some local stories (a place where I spent most of my childhood) together with calmness and coziness adding to the charm of the place, will prepare you for what is coming next.
You don't believe me?
Join and let yourself be astound :)
Yet, that is not all. On the way back we stop in village of Topići where in the old stone KONOBA (tavern) you have opportunity to see how PEKA (typical local ash made dish) is done, before it is served to you.
Atmosphere filled with local, traditional, tasty food and drinks should warm up your soul, while you're watching sun setting over the Adriatic sea.
While one local liquor and a glass of wine are included, dinner and other drinks are optional and payed for on spot, but highly recommended.

Dubravka begann die Tour an einem Aussichtspunkt, von der wir einen guten Überblick die Stadt hatten und gab bei dieser Gelegenheit auch eine Übersicht über die Entwicklung der Stadt und das Umland. Anschließend gingen wir zu einem gut geplanten Rundgang durch die Stadt. Dubravka hatte an jedem Ort aus ihrem großen Wissensschatz zu den Hintergründen und Geschichte erzählt. Dabei langweilte sie nicht mit Fakten, sondern legte den Schwerpunkt auf geschichtliche Zusammenhänge und Hintergründe für die Entwicklung der Stadt. Der Rundgang endete mit einer Verkostung einer lokalen Süßigkeit und einen gemütlichen Plausch in einem Kaffee. Da wir außerhalb der Saison unterwegs waren hatten wir genug Zeit an den einzelnen Lokationen. Dubravka ist eine charmante Führerin, die Geschichte Splits und Dalmatiens lebendig vermittelt.Kurzweilige und interessante Stadtführung

What a perfect afternoon in Split with Dubravka! Her knowledge, personal local stories, attention to details, sense of humor, and passion for what she does made our trip to Split so special. She is simply the best!Simply the best!

Dubravka was an excellent guide—knowledgeable and fun to be with! She led our small group through the historical Diocletian Palace. We ate local fare from cafes dating back to Year 400.
We may not have seen how alive the Palace becomes at night had we not toured with Dubravka. Food, drink, and candies were excellent at 5 various spots inside and outside the Palace.
Dubravka speaks good English. Thank you for a wonderful food tour in Split!

This was much more than a food tour! Right from the start Dubravka shared really interesting information about the history of Split as well as modern day life. We loved all of her stories and had a great time exploring the Old Town. The food itself was all delicious and there was plenty of it! We tasted such a good variety of things and from amazing local spots that we probably wouldn't have found on our own.
To top it all off, the recommendations for the rest of our trip were really thoughtful and helpful.
Can't recommend this tour with Dubravka highly enough! Wonderful, informative and delicious!

we just loved our tour with Duba and the sights, sounds, and tastes of Split. Having a knowledgeable and personable guide made the day less like a tour and more like a “conversation “ with a new friend - one that knew all the best spots to go for local food! We enjoyed all the food we had, were full when we left, and had more snacks and desserts we left with. She even gave us recommendations for our next port stop of Dubrovnik!
We’ll have fond memories of our day there and our time with Dubs.A Great Day being a “local”!

We had an amazing tour with Dubravka, she took us on a walk through Split sharing her local knowledge, food stories and explaining the history and food development in Split. She took us to little special food gems where we could taste the food meet the people and even on occasion share stories with them. She explained the dishes she was never rushed and we got to learn so much about Split its people, history and their food traditions It pays to go with local!Split food tour

Dubravka did a wonderful job taking us around Split and explaining it's history. We did the tour on our 1st full day in Split. It was a great way to start our time there. Dubravka was very informative and interesting. Our family of 8 was traveling together, and we all really enjoyed the tour! We even got a local snack. I would highly recommend this tour with Dubravka!Learning about Split

Thank you Dubravka for being so fabulous & agreeing to meet us for an 8.30am start due to our early arrival back into Split on an early morning ferry. We really enjoyed our time with you & loved the places you took us - as you know the absolute stand outs for us were the worlds best Cevapi from Kantun Paulina, the Burek's (especially the meat one) from St. Burek & the Soparnik from Misto - all outstanding.....& we loved all the other sweet stops as well - we are saving the chocolate for when we get home to Oz! We also appreciated the information you gave us as we walked through the old town of Split & the small bits of info like the Carob tree - we loved learning about the history of those little seeds! Thanks again Dubravka, we hope to see you again next time we are in Split.Fabulous morning with Dubravka

We had one last day and felt we had missed really grasping the local food. Our food tour with Deba was perfect - places and food wouldn’t have found on our own along with great conversation. We really appreciated moving beyond being tourists and seeing Split from a local’s point of view. Highly recommend! Great tour

Four of us, two seniors and a young couple, spent two weeks in Croatia. This food tour was one of the highlights. But the tour was so much more than just about food. Dubravka had such knowledge of Split and Croatia in general. She entertained us with facts about ancient Split as well as the new Croatia and their increasing tourism and everything in between. And all of this was while we walked, sat, and enjoyed the fantastic food! The food and places were definitely not something we would have researched and found on our own. Most were small authentic Croatian establishments that locals would seek out. You can’t go wrong with Dubravka as your guide! She also recommended places in Makarska and Dubrovnik and she was spot on.
Thanks for being a highlight of our trip, Dubravka!
Gratefully,
The four CanadiansFantastic evening!

We had a 3 hour tour with Dubravka while we were in Split. She was extremely informative, enthusiastic, and full of interesting facts about Split. She truly made an ancient city come alive for us. We sampled a couple of local treats at the market, while she explained the significance of each one. Dubravka gave us some tips on other areas to visit during our trip, which is very helpful when trying to see as much as possible. Dubravka was really fun to be with, and because of her knowledge and her genuine personality, it was a fabulous day in Split. Fabulous Day With Dubravka

We’ve been on many food tours in many cities and this was one of the best. We really enjoyed it. Dubravka is a great tour guide. It is a great tour if you want to see the old town, learn a little bit of history, meander through the streets and eat lots of Croatian food. Our two kids (12 & 16) were sufficiently entertained and fed, and we came away feeling that we had seen the best of Split.Superb Food Tour

Dubravka was a wonderful tour guide, every single stop was great! She mixed in the history of Split, so this was much more than just a food tour.

Dubé is a wonderful tour guide with a real penchant and joie de vivre. A history major, she went above and beyond to regale the history of split and Croatia, showed us around the historical sights of split whilst indulging in local food. The cevape was a particular highlight. A must if you want to combine culture, food and drink.Epic tour

We had an excellent evening wandering round Split trying different foods in different places. Dubravka did a brilliant job of taking us to places that we wouldn’t necessarily have found on our and accommodating our dietary requirements (one vegetarian, one no seafood/fish). It was great to be able some of the local dishes. The only small downside is that restaurants in Split don’t seem to have fully embraced the concept of food tours yet. Dubravka was an excellent guide full of interesting facts and lots of knowledge about Split and the surrounding area. A fun evening eating in Split

Our group of 7 can’t stop talking about the amazing foodie-history tour we shared with Dubravka!!! We left with hearts full of culture and history….our stomachs are still so full! Dubravka is an absolute local who shared with us where she used to play in the palace as a child and the life her grandparents lived as goat farmers! We made life long memories and we are thankful we spent our day with her!Dont visit Split without her!

Our family of 6 was visiting Split from the United States - we had just landed the day before and wanted to try some of Croatia’s unique cuisine before kicking off the rest of our trip. This tour was a superb introduction to learning about everything from traditional holiday dishes to Croatia’s version of fast food / street food. And our tour leader, Dubravka, was the perfect guide! Not only was she incredibly smart, but she wove personal stories about her life into her teachings about Split’s food. Because of that, this was one of the best food tours we have ever been on. Don’t hesitate - book your tour with Dubravka if you want more than just a surface level experience of Croatia’s food scene.Don’t hesitate - book a tour with Dubravka

We organized this last minute and Dubravka was very flexible with us. We had such a great time eating, drinking and shopping all over Split. In the bonus was the history lesson of the city from someone who grew up visiting family in the palace.
She was so fun and had a great stories. Gave us wonderful recommendations about food and music and shopping.
Without even knowing she took us to several places that were on our to visit list from someone feed Phil.
It’s so nice to feel like you have someone in the city who would answer any question and help you if you needed it. Highly recommend food tour with Dubravka. Fun night eating, drinking & shopping

Great afternoon with a lively and enthusiastic studied historian who had more to say then just basic information about roman remains. We loved the variety of food, the set of historical Information as well as the chat about culture & politics and the tips about places to go and eat. The tour took longer then scheduled - time passed quickly. All the best for Dubravka! More then we asked for

More about me
Hello dear travellers visiting Croatia, welcome to Split! :)
Split is the city where I was raised and where I came back after finishing a master’s degree in History and the Portuguese language at the University of Zagreb. So yes, the city of Split that grew from an ancient Roman emperor's palace, to me it’s not a popular tourist destination, it’s my HOME. As a passionate traveller myself and a local tour guide, my mission here is to transfer a good vibe, excitement, as well as the passion and love I feel for my home onto you. Also, through using all the senses in discovering the city with me, I want to make you feel peace and calm. That kind of peace and calm that dear friends, the warmth of the sun, and sweetness in your belly can bring.
After teaching history in high school for a while, eight years ago I became a licensed full-time tour guide and tour leader. Since then, I have hosted different kinds of tours for guests from all over the world. I love to share my knowledge and experiences with the guests, but also love to listen, engage, and learn from them. Besides history, my great passion is music and I am always willing to discuss both of them over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine.
Join me on this adventure, learn about the past, feel the present, and prepare to unexpectedly fall in love with Split, because the unexpected is usually what brings the unbelievable.
Looking forward to meeting you!
