Linda was an excellent tour guide. She has lived in this area her entire life, so she was a great resource for things to see, do and eat. She taught us how to toast in Croatian. The food was delicious and the drinks were great. I feel like I need to come back and spend more time in this area with Linda.

Fabulous Food & History Tour in Split
If you’re visiting Split and want to truly taste the city—not just see it—this food tour with a local guide, Dube, is an unforgettable experience. From the very first step into the Old City, we were transported through time, wandering through the ancient palace and stone-paved alleys while being immersed in centuries of fascinating history, architecture, and stories that brought the city to life.
Our guide, Dube, was phenomenal—warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about Split. They answered every question with detail and enthusiasm, making the experience feel both personal and enriching.
The food journey started at a bustling local market where we sampled dried and sweetened orange rind—an unexpectedly delightful treat. From there, it was a feast for all the senses: party meats made right in the region, briny olives, crunchy almonds, and fresh pita bread set the stage for a deeper dive into Split’s culinary heart.
Street food was a highlight—tender pulled beef with pickled onions nestled in warm bread, a rich meat-stuffed pita topped with zesty red sauce and melted cheese, and a crispy, golden fried bread filled with local char. We also enjoyed a flaky cottage cheese pastry that was both savory and satisfying, all perfectly paired with a sip of deep red grape liquor.
Just when we thought we couldn’t eat another bite, we were introduced to Split’s sweeter side: fried dough sprinkled in cinnamon and sugar, and the most adorable (and delicious) peach-shaped cookies that melted in your mouth.
This tour wasn’t just a meal—it was a full cultural experience, crafted with care and led by someone who truly loves the city and food. If you’re in Split, do not miss this tour. It’s the perfect blend of food, history, and heart.
