A gastro extraveganza in the great city of Split - The start and end time of this tour were perfect for us. Our guide was very knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions about the food and wines she had selected for us as well as share her extensive local knowledge about the different restaurants she chose for us. The small size of our group provided ample opportunity to make new friends also. Many thanks for a great tour

Incredible Food Tour - This tour was far above any foodie tour I have taken. The food was plentiful, delicious with a wide variety. I learned a great deal about Split and Croatia. I took the evening tour and the weather was fabulous. It was a treat to wander through the Palace and streets without the crowds. Go to this tour hungry! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

What a delight! - Our family of 6 (2 parents and 4 young adults) all enjoyed this tour tremendously! Lucy/Lucia was fabulous, so entertaining and knowledgeable! It was so interesting to learn about the Split culture and how all their food was tied to tradition, history, or culture. Not to mention, we ate delicious treats along the entire tour through the Green Market and finally culminating at a local restaurant which offered us various appetizers of the region, followed by 3 different and absolutely delicious entrees and wine, only to be completed with a sweet gelato for dessert. Overall wonderful experience!

Food below expectations. - This was an interesting way to see Split. We ended up a party i think of 14 which was a nice size. However, the food sampled was below expectations for us. We noticed there was a lot of food not eaten by the whole group so we gather from that others didn’t enjoy it either.
