Great tour with Ivan
Fantastic tour with Ivan! He was a great guide— we learned a lot about the history of Croatia, its people, and its culture while tasting delicious bites and drinks throughout the city. Highly recommend!

INES our AWESOME Guide in Croatia.
INES our beautiful tour guide for our first trip to Croatia was extremely nice and so knowledgeable. She knew right where to stand for the best pics. She also knew when to listen to the men singing a capella under a dome, so it sounded so beautiful. We went to the " farmers market " and a GREAT restaurant and had awesome seafood and a tasty dessert. INES is a native Croatian, so she knows everything there is to know. AND she speaks very good English! ( a BIG plus). Thanx Ines!

Experiencing Split with a local
We had a great tour with Ines. She met us at our hotel to begin our walking good and wine tour. She was very pleasant and knowledgeable. She toured us around the palace including samplings at the local market before lunch. Lunch was a “seafood pot” with local wine at a quaint restaurant. It was the best seafood pot we have experienced. Dessert followed after a short walk to a local gelato business. Excellent experience that we would highly recommend.

Private VIP Split Food Tour with Seafood, Wine and Local Bites: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.
How much does Private VIP Split Food Tour with Seafood, Wine and Local Bites cost?
+
Prices start at $177 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 Private VIP Split Food Tour with Seafood, Wine and Local Bites take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours 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 Private VIP Split Food Tour with Seafood, Wine and Local Bites worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 46 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 Private VIP Split Food Tour with Seafood, Wine and Local Bites?
+
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 Private VIP Split Food Tour with Seafood, Wine and Local Bites suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private VIP Split Food Tour with Seafood, Wine and Local Bites?
+
Around 16 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private VIP Split Food Tour with Seafood, Wine and Local Bites 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.
What is included in Private VIP Split Food Tour with Seafood, Wine and Local Bites?
+
Included: Local wine or beverage; Fully private experience; Seafood dish in a local restaurant; Private licensed guide; and Food tastings at multiple locations. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private VIP Split Food Tour with Seafood, Wine and Local Bites include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Split. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private VIP Split Food Tour with Seafood, Wine and Local Bites offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private VIP Split Food Tour with Seafood, Wine and Local Bites?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
