Summary:
We were met by our tour guide Marianne, on time at the Split sign, that was really easy to find. The tour gave us a great insight into the history of Split. Marianne was able to answer any questions that we had comprehensively about the area we were exploring. The food that we tasted was all of a very high standard and Marianne was able to talk to us about the history of the food and where it came from. Wine is not included in this tour, but all the wines that the restaurants paired with the food were excellent and reasonably priced, water was provided at every restaurant. Would highly recommended this tour.

Summary:
We felt like we were with family on this tour. Ivana, our guide, was outstanding! A great historian and foodie. Being a local, she used her knowledge and experiences growing up in Spilt to teach us how the history of the area influenced the foods we tasted on our journey through the city. Food portions at each 5 stops were enough to leave us with full bellies by the time we were done. Highly recommended!

Summary:
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!
