Additional Information

In this trip, we will merge culture and cuisine. A local guide will introduce you to the city centre, resonant with 1700 years of history and its major historical landmarks. Our culinary journey commences at the green market, a hub where local agriculturists vend their produce. Here, you will get a feel of local commerce and sample some regional products. Our stroll continues along the Split promenade, stopping for a sweet recess at one of the oldest bakeries in Split, in operation since 1949, before heading to the fish marketplace where local fishermen vend their fresh catch. Following this, we’ll indulge in some local desserts and digestif liquor in the old town of Split. The gastronomic experience culminates with a communal lunch prepared in tandem with a local chef. The chef will assign roles and with combined efforts, a tasty dish will be on the table. This experience will undoubtedly provide an insight into why the Mediterranean diet is safeguarded under UNESCO’s heritage protection.

So fun! - This was an amazing tour. Our tour guide was so nice and informative. I learned so much about the culture and the city. Sanja was our guide. I highly recommend this experience. It is by far my favorite activity we have done in Croatia. We cooked in the hotel restaurant with several chiefs. The food was amazing. If you are in Split, do this experience!

History and Cuisine in Split! - Outstanding! The very best way to experience Split. An enjoyable mixture of history, culture, and cuisine. The cooking class for a three course meal was a highlight. So much fun and we learned quite a bit as well. Marin, our guide, was excellent: personable, funny and highly knowledgeable. Go on this tour!

Fun and informative - Really fun. My husband and I were lucky and were the only ones in the class. The people in the kitchen became friends. Our guide Rada, who also became a friend, was wonderful too. We enjoyed a lovely sea bass, grilled vegetables, made noodles and dessert dumplings. The walking tour was interesting! We found Rada knows a lot more than other guides.

Walking tour and cooking experience in Split that went far beyond our expectations. A warm and welcoming staff. - An amazing walk through Split with our guide Marin who was a wealth of information on the history and culture of Croatia. Smart, engaging and funny😊 Next we were given a cooking experience in a well equipped professional kitchen at the Presidential Hotel. The staff treated us like royalty and it was amazing to them sit and enjoy the three course meal we had helped prepare. 10 out of 10! A must-do experience when you visit this beautiful corner of the world!

If you do one thing in Split, do this - Amazing, can’t-miss experience - Highly recommend. Our guide was super knowledgeable and showed us a side of the city we wouldn’t have seen on our own. Can’t say enough about the cooking class. The staff and the food were 10/10 - authentic and so friendly.

Wonderful Split tour with cooking class and local samples - Wonderful cooking class. The staff was wonderful. The 3 dishes we made were excellent. Meal was paired with wine.. Also, the tour with samples from the local chocolate/candy store, pastry shop & prosciutto tasting were great. We loved taking home the local chocolates & candies. Tour of the Old Town of Split was also informative. Do this tour!
