"Linda was an excellent tour guide. She is very responsive before the tour via text. Happy to answer all of our questions and met us at the cruise ship gate. Her English was perfect. She was kind and knowledgeable. She really made us feel welcomed to her home city. We learned a lot, which made everything more interesting. She also recommended some restaurants for us to enjoy after our tour. We chose Bepi!, because there was music and a good atmosphere. I would recommend her highly. "

"If you’re visiting Split and want to truly taste the city—not just see it—this food tour with a local guide, Dube, is an unforgettable experience. From the very first step into the Old City, we were transported through time, wandering through the ancient palace and stone-paved alleys while being immersed in centuries of fascinating history, architecture, and stories that brought the city to life. Our guide, Dube, was phenomenal—warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about Split. They answered every question with detail and enthusiasm, making the experience feel both personal and enriching. The food journey started at a bustling local market where we sampled dried and sweetened orange rind—an unexpectedly delightful treat. From there, it was a feast for all the senses: party meats made right in the region, briny olives, crunchy almonds, and fresh pita bread set the stage for a deeper dive into Split’s culinary heart. Street food was a highlight—tender pulled beef with pickled onions nestled in warm bread, a rich meat-stuffed pita topped with zesty red sauce and melted cheese, and a crispy, golden fried bread filled with local char. We also enjoyed a flaky cottage cheese pastry that was both savory and satisfying, all perfectly paired with a sip of deep red grape liquor. Just when we thought we couldn’t eat another bite, we were introduced to Split’s sweeter side: fried dough sprinkled in cinnamon and sugar, and the most adorable (and delicious) peach-shaped cookies that melted in your mouth. This tour wasn’t just a meal—it was a full cultural experience, crafted with care and led by someone who truly loves the city and food. If you’re in Split, do not miss this tour. It’s the perfect blend of food, history, and heart."

"We learned a lot from Joško, who thanks to his history degree was able to answer all our questions and explain Split past and present. Joško was also lots of fun and charming company. Highly recommended!"

""Dube" was wonderful. We have done a few of these Taste of... tours in various cities; this one was special. The food was varied and delicious and Dube took the time to dive into the history and sites of the palace. At the end, she asked what our itinerary was for the rest of our trip to Croatia and when we got back to the hotel she had sent me detailed suggestions for each of our next stops and invited us to contact her if we ran into any problems traveling or just had questions. Hvala ti puno Dobe!"

"Dubravka (Dubi) sure knows Split! Our party of eight adults booked her for the hidden secrets tour and we are so glad we did! Dubi had many, often hilarious, anecdotes about living here as a child and how Split has evolved throughout her lifetime. She took us from the ancient history of the area to modern times in a fun and engaging manner. Her personality and love of her city and country shone through as she walked us through old town and the Palace. She even gave us some “inside” information on where to eat and what to do. Definitely book her as a tour guide… You will have a lot of fun while learning so much about this beautiful and interesting city of Split. "

"Dubravka was an amazing guide!! She was super responsive (even though we booked the night before) and it was easy to link up the next morning. My group had a wonderful time walking around, learning the history of Split and trying a lot of local food. Dubravka made sure there was plenty of diversity in the food. From treats at the Green market to more traditional “dinner/lunch” food! Everything was delicious and perfect. I would absolutely book more with Dubravka! "

"We did a private group tour of 4 people , a fantastic way to start our stay in Split. Dube was very friendly and had many stories about the different parts of the old city. Gave us tips to explore in split and the coastline. Highly recommended!"

"What a perfect afternoon in Split with Dubravka! Her knowledge, personal local stories, attention to details, sense of humor, and passion for what she does made our trip to Split so special. She is simply the best!"

"Our flight was delayed by 4 hours so we missed our tour with Darko. He was kind enough to fit us in the next day. He is a true local who is super knowledgeable. We are so appreciative that he made the time for us as we left with such an appreciation of Split, the history and the culture. Thank you Darko! "

"This was much more than a food tour! Right from the start Dubravka shared really interesting information about the history of Split as well as modern day life. We loved all of her stories and had a great time exploring the Old Town. The food itself was all delicious and there was plenty of it! We tasted such a good variety of things and from amazing local spots that we probably wouldn't have found on our own. To top it all off, the recommendations for the rest of our trip were really thoughtful and helpful. Can't recommend this tour with Dubravka highly enough! "
