The good food tours fill up weeks ahead and the best go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Split day trip to Krka waterfalls by bus and boat, free Skradin river time, then Plastovo winery tastings with an English guide.
“A great experience swimming in a river, visiting a winery and see the falls at krka park! Our hostess and tour guide Gabby made the trip even more enjoyable!”
A 10-hour Split day trip to Krka Waterfalls, Skradin boat views, and a family winery tasting of Dalmatian wine, cheese, and olive oil.
“We took the trip to Krka national park with the additional stop off for wine tasting at a family-owned local vineyard. The entire trip was smooth and well organised, allowing us to see plenty of amazing sights near Split but still enough time in each location to fully enjoy and appreciate it. Our guide Sanja was the highlight of the trip - not only was she knowledgeable about the history of the region and the geography and wildlife of the park, she was also funny and charming throughout which added to the experience nicely. We can't recommend the tour enough (especially if you have Sanja as your guide!)”
Small-group Split food walk with five local eateries, rakija shot, and Diocletian palace stories, ending with lavender gelato.
“Ivana was our tour guide and she was amazing. She has lived in the region her whole life, and is bright, intelligent, and enjoyable. Ivana's knowledge of the history and culture of Split, and Croatia as a whole, was highly impressive. Each food stop was well-prepared, clean, and situated around the old town so as to see important sites. The five samplings/meals represented Croatian culture, were tasty, and more than enough for a large mid-day meal and dessert. The afternoon was delightful- yummy and fascinating!”
A small-group 3-hour Split food and wine walk from Diocletian’s Palace area to market tastings, seafood pasta, and gelato.
“Ana our guide took us to 3 restaurants where we enjoyed 3 delicious meals. She shared a lot of information about the history of Split and the ways of making prosciutto and olive oil. Our tour group was small and quaint allowing for conversation with Ana and the group.”
All-inclusive Blue Cave cruise from Split with Biševo entry, island swimming, grilled lunch and drinks, snorkeling gear, and a shaded boat.
“From the beginning we were met by Angelo who greeted us almost by name. This was a good sign that this was going to be a well organised day. :) He gave us a friendly and humorous greeting then introduced the skipper for the day and our lovely host Andrea. Once on the boat, it was super comfortable and Andrea reiterated what we will be expecting for the day. For breakfast, we had donuts and croissants, some of the other guests were a bit shy to eat them, so I had more than one. Haha they were delicious. We headed for the Blue Caves first and had a drink at…”
Split’s 3-hour historical and gastro tour: Diocletian’s Palace, Green Market tastings, seafood lunch, pasta, black risotto, wines for $135.
“Hani was the perfect guide. Personable, knowledgeable and very friendly. She showed us and explained the diocletion palace and its origins and changes over the years and the way the palace is used today. But the best thing was the visit to the Green Market which was full of local produce that made you want to try everything! We had plenty of laughs and food along the way and we tried things we wouldn’t normally and found we like them! Would thoroughly recommend Hani as a way of getting to know the area and its customs. What a lovely morning 😁”
90-minute Split food tour in Diocletian’s Palace, Green Market and Peškarija tastings, plus chocolate and rafiol cake.

Spend 4 hours in Split with Tatjana Kezic, walking markets, cooking Dalmatian dishes, and enjoying lunch with homemade rakija and wine.
“This food tour included a tour of the Diocletian palace and markets, along with insights on the best local restaurants and food vendors. The cooking class was on a delightful patio and allowed us to see the inside of a local home. The instructor is a cookbook author and authority on Croatian cuisine. We had a delightful time.”
Split’s markets plus a small-group, 3-course Dalmatian cooking class in a hotel kitchen with tastings, sweets, and liquor.
“Due to delay of cruise ship, my husband and I had a private cooking experience in a hotels kitchen. Staff was fabulous and very friendly and gracious. Tour guide professional, knowledgeable and fun to be with. We learned lots. Viator needs to add PORT to list of pick up areas.”

3-hour Split private gastro and history walk with Diocletian’s palace sights and tastings of cheeses, seafood, pie, slow beef, and sweets.
“Memorable…I signed up as a vegan taking a food tour based on the online description, which include specialty diets, including gluten-free, and vegan. The guide didn’t know I was vegan, and the restaurants were not prepared. The worst experience of my life, and I think I am due a refund. I paid good money for a terrible experience. Oh, and the tour guide left us at the restaurant so he could go look for something he lost.”
Half-day in Klis: climb to Klis Fortress, hear Uskok stories and GoT details, then eat and learn Croatian food in an olive garden.
“This was such a fun day! I actually ended up being the only person on my tour, so I could go at my own pace. But this would be a lovely tour for a couple or a small group as well. I really enjoyed Klis Fortress. My guide, Lucy, did a phenomenaRead more”

Taste Dalmatian wines and food on a small-group tour from Split or Trogir, with Šibenik sights and a Ranch Rak winery dinner.
“The Agency called me last minute to change the date of the tour as the resturant they were planning to take us was closed. Unfortunately I couldn’t change the date - we were in Split for 2 days only. I was told not to be worried as they organise another place and all stays according to the initial plan. As a result, they simply took us to the restaurant where we could order food from the menu - no introduction, no explanation, no wine tasting, we were googling meals online to be able to order something. I am really disappointed with the Agency. From the text message I got it…”
Every kind of day out of the harbour, and the best of each.
