About this activity
A little bit of history and a whole lot of food, this Split culinary tour will show you hundreds of years of heritage while feeding you until you’re full! (We take no responsibility if you, ahem, “Split” your pants.)

You’ll head to the heart of the picturesque city, spying the UNESCO heritage site of Emperor Diocletian’s palace and walking the city’s promenade as you learn how locals live (and eat!) in the city of Split. 

We’ll dive into our Split food tour with a visit to the symbolic Queen of Dalmatia: olive oil! True Croatian royalty, Dalmatian olive oil’s intense green colour and strong flavour are completely unforgettable, and it’s considered to be some of the best olive oil in the world! You will try a few different types of olive oil and we’ll teach you how to choose the best one. You’ll also get to pair your oil with flower of salt and traditional Dalmatian bread. Delicious!

The other indulgence that Dalmatia is known for is wine — specifically, Zinfandel. Did you know Dalmatia is the original birthplace of the Zinfandel grape? Which means of course you have to sip this bit of heritage! We’ll head to a wine bar where you can enjoy a glass while learning about the history of Croatian wine.

Then, we hope you’re hungry, because it’s time for more mouth-watering food! You will taste a typical Dalmatian plate — depending on the season and what’s on the menu you may try some smoked ham (prsut), cheese, olives, or Adriatic anchovies. And, of course, an obligatory part of any Dalmatian's meal is a glass of wine!

We’ll finish it all off with something very important to Dalmatians: coffee and dessert! Locals typically like their coffee good and strong and are known to drink several small cups throughout the day. This will be paired with a tasty cake dessert typical to the area. A totally sweet ending to a delicious tour! Before you go, don’t forget to ask your local guide for more tips on what else to see, do and eat during your stay.

We visited Split an had an amazing experience with Maja. She gave us so much history during our tour. We felt a personal connection with her because there was only my husband and I that booked the tour. Sitting and chatting about the city with a local was a great way to end the tour. By the end of our tour she felt more like a friend than a tour guide. I highly recommend this tour.

BEST TOUR WE WENT ON DURING OUR TIME IN CROATIA. Our guide Maja was perfect! She educated us about the city of Split and the history of the palace. Its clear she loves this city by her enthusiasm to share with her guests. She taught us so much about the history, the architecture, and gave us great recommendations of where to eat. The food and wine tastings on this tour where excellent with very knowledgeable hosts who are excited to share their food and traditions. We left this tour so excited to explore more!

Maja was an interesting and extremely knowledgeable host. We toured the Palace, heard about the history of Split, tasted olive oil, wine and scrumptious bites.

What an informative as well as and most importantly enjoyable experience that was. Maya is so knowledgeable and forthcoming with in-depth facts about the history of the palace and Croatia. It was truly amazing. For me this was so much better than doing a straight walking tour. I learnt things about olive oil that I didn't know in a pleasant environment, tasted some lovely wines with delicious accompaniments at a nice wine bar, and then finished with lunch at a restaurant. Therefore don't eat much for breakfast because you'll soon make up for it! I was on my own, but because it was such a small group five plus Maya it was easy to join in with the others. I highly recommend this tour or any tour that Maya is taking.

Maja was a fabulous tour guide! Her depth of knowledge about Diocletian's Palace and the history of Split was extremely impressive and helpful. She took us to a wonderful olive oil tasting where we ended up having an unforgetable dinner a few nights later. She also took us to a wine tasting that taught us a great deal about Croatian wines. We topped it off with a lovely meal at a casual but top notch restaurant. The tour was overall one of the many highlights of our trip and we wished we had Maja to drag along with us for the rest of our stay in Split. This was money well spent and we are so glad we did this at the beginning of our trip. Thank you, Maja!!!

Amazing tour of Split! Ivan our tour guide was very informative and great to talk too. It was only me and my wife which was alright with us. We had a very interesting tour with detailed information of the city and it’s past from Ivan. We also tasted olive oil at a local oil bar and wine at wine bar.

We topped it off with a lovely meal at a casual over lunch we were able to discuss the history of the area in much greater depth and Maja was a delightful lunch companion. We would like to highly recommend this tour..

This tour was very interesting and informative, VJ was very friendly and knowledgeable and we had good conversations that added context to the tour information. We revisited the eating places later for our evening meal and these meals were very good. We will definitely recommend this tour to our friends.
