    Wonderful tour with Darko!

    This was one of the highlights of our trip to Split. Highly recommend our guide Darko Pereza. His knowledge of the history and food was exceptional. The food was delicious and the servings were generous. We met some nice people at the stops and in our group. Wonderful time!

    Response from the operator: We really loved having you with us on Secret Food Tours. It was such a nice day sharing good food, conversation, and a few new discoveries together. We’d genuinely love to have you back!

    Excellent Food Tour in Split - Won't Disappoint!

    Great Split food tour! We tasted burek, Dalmatian sweets, olive oil, wine, pork belly and cevapi, bruschetta with anchovies among others and it was all amazing. We actually returned to a couple of places to try more dishes. Our guide Lorena was fantastic. She was so kind to accommodate a gluten sensitivity with alternate options and making sure the restaurants used gluten free bread. We had fun and were stuffed by the end of the tour.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for spending part of your trip with Secret Food Tours. We really enjoyed having you along and appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. We hope to see you again whenever you’re back in the city!

    Lovely morning introduction to split

    We had a lovely morning tour at 11am, great variety and set us up go explore the town ourselves. You will be very full so probably plan to eat light in the evening..we sampled so many different things, pastries, burek, fish, olive oil, very sweet lavender shop for the local drink, wines, and the green market. Our guide Lorena was very friendly and organised and kept us moving.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for making Secret Food Tours part of your trip! We loved having you with us and appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. We’d be delighted to welcome you back whenever you’re in town.

    Split Old Town Authentic Food Tour with 9 Dishes & Local Wines: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Split.

    How much does Split Old Town Authentic Food Tour with 9 Dishes & Local Wines cost?

    +

    Prices start at $125 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 Split Old Town Authentic Food Tour with 9 Dishes & Local Wines take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Split Old Town Authentic Food Tour with 9 Dishes & Local Wines worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 34 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Split, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Split Old Town Authentic Food Tour with 9 Dishes & Local Wines?

    +

    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 Split Old Town Authentic Food Tour with 9 Dishes & Local Wines suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Split Old Town Authentic Food Tour with 9 Dishes & Local Wines?

    +

    Around 12 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Split Old Town Authentic Food Tour with 9 Dishes & Local Wines 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 Split Old Town Authentic Food Tour with 9 Dishes & Local Wines?

    +

    Included: Pork Peka: Iconic slow-roasted pork and potatoes "under the bell."; Gourmet Oil & Truffle Tasting: Local liquid gold, truffles, and herb liquors; Artisanal Pršut & Cheese: Premium cured ham and island cheeses; Croatian Drinks: Crisp white wine, bold red wine, and soft drinks; and Classic Dalmatian Sweet: A legendary pastry from Split’s oldest bakery.
