The best way to understand Split? Taste it. This tour isn’t about ticking off “must-eats.” It’s about discovering how food in Split isn’t just something you consume—it’s something you inherit. We start where locals start their day: at the Green Market. It’s more than produce. It’s voices, habits, friendships. From here, we move through Split’s edible history.You’ll hear where the coffee is best—and where it’s mostly shared with travelers. You’ll learn what food meant to fishermen, to workers, to families who had little but shared a lot. And how Dalmatia’s layered identity—Roman, Venetian, Ottoman, Yugoslav—still lives on through taste. This isn’t a gourmet tour. It’s a grounded one. It’s not about fine dining, but about meals that carry memory. The ones you remember because someone told you the story behind the bread. By the end of the walk, you’ll have tasted more than ingredients. You’ll have tasted a way of life.

Highly recommend!
Mirjana was a wonderful guide! She was friendly and insightful, and helped introduce us to the city of Split. She combined storytelling about the food with a history of the country and the people. We felt like we were having a coffee with a friend - she took her time and we never felt rushed :)

Walk through history and snacks
Mirjana was a wonderful guide. She adapted the schedule and tour for us. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk through history, discussion on current affairs and of course the food and coffee.

10 out of 10!!
Been on quite a few tours in my life and this one was by far and none the best. Mirjana really makes you imagine what it was like living during the Roman Empire era. Thought I knew all there was to know about Split and even Croatia but boy was I wrong. She even goes into depth about Croatia's many battles and wars from the past to most recent war for independence in the 90's. 10 out of 10 well worth it, you won't be disappointed. Thanks again Mirjana, do sljedećeg put!!

If I could give ten stars I would
Mirjana took my wife, my daughter and her partner and my son around her town of Split last week. It was without a doubt the BEST walking tour I have ever done in ANY city. It was impassioned, inciteful, interesting, funny, moving, historical, and completely enjoyable from start to finish. We were with Mirjana for about two and a half hours but we could have liked to have been with her for two and a half days. We all loved it. We walked past various hisorical sites and learned about much more than just the history since Mirjana and her family a truly local. She has a deep understanding of how life in Split has changed over the decades and centuries. She has a feeling for people and culture, and she shared it with us in such a beautiful and engaging manner, we hung onto her every word. We stopped in a few shops, sampled some local BURRATA, and met some artisans she knows. It was unforgettable. If you are planning a trip to Split I would implore you to book a walk with Mirjana. Mirjana - THANK YOU! If ever you are visiting Melbourne, Australia please please look us up. We would be honoured to host you and return the incredible experience!

An amazing and unique experience
I have been on several walking tours and my tour of Split with Mirjana tops the list. Her knowledge, energy, and ability to personally connect and engage made this a most memorable and wonderful experience. She is a delight. Not only did I learn about this history of Split but the Croatian culture and what daily life is life for Croatians today. As she said, every corner has a story, and she is a great storyteller!!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Food, walks & talks - The highlights of Split: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.
How much does Food, walks & talks - The highlights of Split cost?
+
Prices start at $143 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Split usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Food, walks & talks - The highlights of Split take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Split is not rushed.
Is Food, walks & talks - The highlights of Split worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Split, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Food, walks & talks - The highlights of Split?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Food, walks & talks - The highlights of Split suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Food, walks & talks - The highlights of Split?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Split can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Split and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Food, walks & talks - The highlights of Split start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Split within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Split?
+
On Outty we rank every Split experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Split Walking Tour with Professor of History, Split Small-Group Walking Tour with a Magister of History, From Split: Krka Waterfalls, Food & Wine Tasting Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Split?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Split?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
